greetings from Bavaria. Great work! Look forward to seeing more. Many of us have lived in terraced houses such as this - have owned two of them in Barnsley and Leeds in the past.

Thanks Sean, A holiday I could do with! Hope the weather is good. We are busy rendering and plastering downstairs. Its the big push next week to get most of it finished. Although yesterday we discovered the upstairs is being supported on some skinny bent pine above the kitchen window. Got a concrete lintel in and making good the sides this weekend. As we cant do ceiling with acro's proping it up! making plenty of hot water from the solar but loosing a lot of heat during the night, will investigate this when we have time. And moved in so I can keep a eye on it much later. Desp can get the insulation on, it is a bit tight but that's Ellie's job this weekend  Stuart |

Here we go again,  "Skinny bent pine holding up the floor above" Thanks Stu, again, except in my case it didn't support and fell down - along with the chimney which had been removed from the roof and the kitchen but not in the bathroom above. All the bits from the roof had been shovelled behind the bath and a false wall knocked up and when I removed the kitchen ceiling and poked around........ I feel I can almost empathise with those "out by Christmas" miners.  That will teach me to poke at a bit of bent pine..........  Actually it is becoming quite therapeutic learning about the suffering of others.... something to do with a Latin motto springs to mind - together in adversity or something. No, really, I think you are doing a great job but should you ever need to seek help for PTSD then I have a couple of contacts. Billy. No, really, I fine, just fine, hee heee he... |

Thanks Steve, should do an update when the gas is connected up. We've been lazy and are enjoying the free heat from the neighbours while were there decorating.

Anti freeze in, and solar auto vent installed. thread was different to the old one so had to bodge it on with some solder and 10mm pipe.
pressure holding ok, getting a drip from the pipe to the expansion tank. suspect its the PTFE washer.
Gas flue done by weeks end hopefully.

Another one for Billy... found the kitchen window had a girder holding up the outside wall, Unfortunately the bit of wood they had to support the floor was to short so they just nailed a skinny bit on the end. I was quite bent too, added the concrete lintel and removed offending joinery.  that looks a bit sturdier!  Gasser on the wall, just waiting for flue and gas connection!  |
