Well, we've been living here in the bungalow we're renovating, for, oh,
about 4 weeks now.

It's pretty spartan - we are basically living like internet enabled
peasants, but it's actually not bad. Much easier than a caravan.

The wife works, I do this and housekeeping and sprog management
(I'm a housewife, but with more tools).

Housewife with angle grinder?

Certainly sorts out the JWs

Excellent pics.

After my recent problems with a leaking pressure relief valve, you might
want to re-consider the *out of sight* discharge.

Good point. It is only temporary (I sell the heater on ebay later) - there's
a bloody big tank to the left of that pic waiting for some central heating
to connect to it. Hopefully the valve will last that long.

One thing I learnt is that those valves are painful with crappy taps. I
recycled an old kitchen sink complete with taps for the kitchen (temp). The
hot tap tends to turn off when it gets hot (expansion I guess) - and of
course that makes the water hotter.

It then gets to the point that the valve operates and sets up massive pipe
vibration. Need a valve with some hysteresis in. Or 1/4 turn ceramic taps
that can hold a stable flow (never had a problem with the bath).
