Busy busy

It's been a busy day, with some progress, though not quite as much as we'd expected. We spent the morning doing housework type stuff, and clearing the airing and calorifier cupboards for Andy to replace the weeping PRV just after lunch. Unfortunately, when he came to do it, it became apparent that they'd sent the wrong replacement, as it couldn't be used in a horizontal position, and guess which way ours is.

The replacement replacement, one of the calorifier supplier's originals, will be here tomorrow, so that should get done then.

Meantime, servicing the Hurricane went very well; it really is as easy as they claim, and indeed, for a diesel burner with 990 hours on it, it looked very clean indeed inside. The instruction sheet I'd downloaded from the Calcutt site didn't absolutely match the appearance of the unit, but then, when do they ever?

We've also had time to help Martin from Ice Breaker get his membership of the braidbar-owners Yahoo group sorted, and to show him how to start a blog.

Whilst all this was going on, Ian Stockton turned up, watering and pumping out Sanity, so we've had a good natter with him, and plan to continue with the pair of them over a drink tonight.

Tomorrow, it will be back to the tale of the PRV, and down to Poynton for a bit of shopping.

Hi to you both,
It's good to heat that the Hurricane is as easy to service as claimed, mine will need one before winter sets in.
We're at Stanley Ferry at the moment and will be cruising around this local area for a while. We hope to get a winter mooring somewhere around here.
All the best,
Bob & Cath LYRA
