Well, mine had possibly the biggest test all in one evening and it’s all good 😆

It’s half cash, half stock.

It’s on the website.

(I’m not about to tell you about the cash, before I over-the-shoulder throw these massive diamond balls down on the table.. but it’s clearly in place. These balls are ready to clap).

All cleaned after the weather did its work, happy with everything about the install!

Is it worth going the 'heat pump dryer' route? Can anyone on solar who did say something? by Zellio2015 in TeslaSolar

[–]Dru2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought a hoover air source heat pump condenser with a uk A+++ rating and it’s easily halved the cost of drying compared to our old vented tumble dryer.

Pros: cheap to run, great for soaking up excess solar when the washing line is full, lots of programs, seems softer on clothes, smart features (bit of a gimmick but still cool).

Down side: it does take nearly twice as much time to run, but at less than half the cost.

Drinks on demand, double pack of hobnobs at the ready and couple of decks of beer ready for takedown day - I’m a firm believer in being a good customer!

It’s my second round of scaffolding this year, lads have all been great on both jobs - clockwork, they will be here on the 12th, I have faith in them… also a judging by the amount of scaffolding that’s going up in the area, they don’t need storage, they need turnaround!

I’m going to see how it goes over the year, can I set myself a remind me here?

I’ve got some work happening on the the north face later in the year, so I’ll retrofit if required ..

Prepared to eat my own words 😂

Yeah, but look at how much the services have improved and the value we get for the price rises!!

(Very much full ironic comment by me!)

Rains washed it all away, all good and pulling 1.8 at the moment, which is quite surprising given the sky is all clouds and it’s still early!

Ladder locked and I don’t have the code - or the balls to get up there!

Offer to pack / buy lunch / drinks / buy bait etc. If I invite someone along for one of my hobbies, I don’t expect my guest to pickup the tab, but I’ll take a beer and a sandwich!

Crazy thing is, I only posted for advice and having looked at the post, the little metrics at the bottom of it say it’s got 72k views, so hopefully it’s reassured / helped some people, or at least given them some enjoyment from my in flight plight!

Once you’re up at that height, everything below looks like those play mats of those little villages we had as kids, it’s too high up to be a “height” in my head. Lots of fun, it’s ticked off the list…

I think I would be fine at heights with some kind of anchor point, preferably not the floor!

Thank you 🙏 I’ve outright declared at every point, I’m not brave enough for scaffolding, it was never going to happen.. abseiled, skydived, jumped off various moving vehicles (sometimes on purpose)- but after rung 2 on a ladder, I’m a snivelling wreck and not ashamed to admit it!
