I might be a bit quiet #2 ...

Finally got the keys to the new place at 19:30 this evening. What a nightmare it has been getting here and still I have no stuff as its coming out of storage and will be arriving Wednesday.

I could go on and on about all the crazy utilities company conversations I have had including the broadband to transfer or move over. I think the world has gone crazy in a scripted manner to a point I managed to get them tied up in knots to get out of extra charges etc. for a few of them.

But I have the keys and we will be in before Christmas.

Congratulations!



After 3 months in a rental before moving into our new place, I fully understand your feelings of joy on finally completing.

Hope you have a fantastic Christmas in the new place

Glad the end is in sight @Icky. Looking forward to your updates on setting up the retro kit and resuming the projects!

Thanks @JezC, @rubber_jonnie, @PhilC, @derkom, @stephen_usher, and @exxos.

More battling with utilities companies today and trying to work out how a biomass boiler works finally got it fired up just before midday.

Is that one of those things where you dump dead bodies into to heat your house ?

Bit of a messy way to heat the house there @exxos but will keep that one in mind if it's too cold

@Icky body fat has a reasonably high calorific valve, so feed them up before bumping them off.

Reminds me of the whole spontaneous human combustion thing which take several hours

First house of horrors last night in the heavy rain.

Turns out a slate title has slipped and there is a hole in the roof and water started coming in.
