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).


As an aside, what's a clever bloke like you doing at home looking after
the kids? You'll never really be any good at it you know :-) I can only
assume the wife's even cleverer


Tim allows her to believe that she is smarter than him.

She gets up and goes to work to at 6am to prove her point:-)
