Ditching gas, going electric immersion only, a wee project

What will you do for ' Entertainment ' when it runs all by itself?

Haha, yeah I hear you.
Just finishing up my loft conversion also... maybe I'll get back to the fun of messing about with cars.

I really like the idea of doing nothing, just chilling out, but then boredom sets in and ....

Last year I rearranged the solar panels on my garage to have a 2/3rds bias to WSW over ENE, and thats resulted in a 10% improvement on production, which is great right?
But that is essentially 400kwh x £0.15 or £60, I'm not sure it was worth all the effort 🙄

I have come to the realisation that when I cark it, I will leave behind 2-4 unfinished "projects" that will make no sense to anyone else 😳😳

If it's only 2-4, you're doing better than I am 😂

That is strangely quite reassuring. 
Im not the only idiot in the village 😂

Though i should admit that I'm classing it as only 4 because I'm scoring off the loft and tanks, but neither are really finished yet 🙈

Do you have a shed/garage that's hard to move around in, because it's absolutely full of stuff that 'will be really useful one day'?

I know that situation.

Only it is all really really usefull 😀......

Guilty as charged Mart, but in my defence, there is a car in there, and alot of the stuff is like doors and engine etc

It's 10 years into a 3 month project 🙈

Yeah its not the only thing that "will be useful for s project one day"

Is that not normal?

I was quietly happy in Jan that my DIY heat pump project was running faultlessly without missing a beat having sorted all the teething issues.  Obviously I wasn't going to say anything and tempt fate but my dad asked so I told him how happy we were with it - so cue my phone going off at 2:30 AM that same night warning the breaker had tripped....


....always fun when it was minus 7 and we don't have gycol or emergency anti-freeze drain valves but rely on a separate pump keeping going that runs off the same breaker.
