Well it is forecast for heavy rain for most of the day so if I do, I guess I could sit in the barn and wait for the pigeons to come in BUT, our boiler packed up yesterday so no hot water ! I will have a look at it but I may have to partly dismantle the cupboard I built around it before I can get to the screws holding the boiler cover on. I fear it may be one of those jobs that you think will only take half an hour and then 3 days later......

Feel for you, matey.

Did you manage to get it sorted and get to the barn?

Mmmm, the boiler. A nice chap from my range is a registered gas fitter so rather than mess around with something I know little about, I gave him a call and he was around within half an hour. I'd replaced the 3amp fuse in the fixed spur below the boiler and checked the mains fuse. Danny (the gas fitter) took the cover off the boiler and had a look around, after a bit of testing he said "there's no power getting to it, everything electrical is dead" ?? So, we checked all feeds again and all was fine. My missus asked how we were getting on and i told there was no power getting to the boiler, she said "what about that switch upstairs in the airing cupboard that used to power the immersion heater before it was removed when we got the Combi ?". "Nah, can't be that I said", so she toddles off back in the garden and I went up to said switch which I'd even forgotten was there and it was switched off, Mmmm, let me switch it on...... A shout then comes from Danny downstairs... "It's all powered up !"
You can imagine, the missus hasn't stopped grinning since. To make it worse, it's that cupboard where I keep my air pistols and all my other gun gear and accessories. I'd taken my HW45 (which sits right next to the switch in question) to the range with me yesterday so I must have knocked it to 'off' either when I took it out or put it back
Karen (my missus) has since had a nice long hot bath with a glass of wine and a book and has a permanent smile that tells the story. Cost me 65 quid for the 'call out' too.

And no Tone, I didn't get to the barn, I was worried that if it got dark while I was there I wouldn't be able to find the light-switch

So what's the 3A spur for? Probably your door bell.

Definitely for the boiler Phil but I'd forgotten they had taken the feed from the old immersion switch and fitted the spur local to the boiler for convenience

Naughty '45!

I think you'll find that it's much better behaved once it's been (Tin)bummed!

Anyways, that'll teach you not to be sneaking extra '45 practice sessions in!


Glad it was an easy fix, matey. Ours went down in late January (lovely timing, eh?). £2500 later....... With ours being a three storey house it's a pressurised system; they replaced the boiler, some of the valves / pump, flushed the system, added their special inhibitor etc etc... We've been here for over 16 years, so I suppose it's not too bad!

I thought you might pick up on that Tone.

I thought you might pick up on that Tone.

I hope you were keeping the range "real", Pauly.


Like about 8 yards max for me!
