UP EARLY again for day two of the air pump instal. As well as the two heating guys another van arrives with electricians.

The house is bloody freezing, not helped by the fact that all the doors are constantly left open. Margaret’s unhappy that a couple of the radiators have seemingly been ‘prescribed’ and no choice or alternatives given The engineers agree so she calls Greener Energy and tries to get things rectified…she’s also told that we need a kick heater inn the kitchen – we’ve had three folks out previously, including the pre-install engineer and this has never been mentioned.

I have a couple of online guitar students which keeps me out the way until lunchtime.

After lunch I go back to the studio and do some prep for my part in this evening local hydro society AGM then make a little progress on the Black Bull web development.

There’s only time for a quick walk. The loch is calm and it’s a nice, albeit cold, evening. No paddling for a few days tho’ – doctor’s orders. My arm feels OK but I’ll try and comply!

I’m meeting my fellow hydro society directors for something to eat before the meeting. Just before I have to leave DPD delivers’ another laser to add to my production capabilities in the office.

We have nice meal and pre-AGM chat then head to the hall. Margaret doesn’t make it , for although he installers have finished, the electricians are still there trying to get the heat pump commissioned.

They’re still at it when I get home and have managed to get things running, although Laim is unhappy with one of the valves/controllers. He’s found a workaround and the hot waters working…the radiators seem to be starting to heat a little. He makes a note on the report and they head off.

Soon after, tho’, we’re not feeling any heat…seems whatever the faulty part is it’s not working 🙁
