Bliddy gas boiler keeps going on the blink.
Past two days I have got it going, it works more or less all day then goes off sometime in the evening and won't go back on.
This being the third day I have just, on the third go, managed to get a noo thermocouple fitted and it works, but it didn't want to work even with a new one for quite a while.
I think mebbe I am a bit too scared of really tightening the nuts down as the pilot only stayed alight, after doing this.
Seems to always go kaput each time we come back from Frogland.
Still I have read up on how to test thermocouples so maybe I'll have a bash at that with the one I took off which worked, albeit intermittently, over 2 days.

Yes but, no but, yes but, he already has pallets of slates, I assume he needs more or too many are busticated.
Or, as you say, he has a deal going on!!!
Mebbe the pilot is the wrong colour, i.e. yeller and not bloo.

Its a while since I worked with slate, but you have to handle each 1 and sound (its a distinctive "ring" as apposed to a dull sound) it for soundness. So am sure he will have a percentage of waste in what he has
Plus I am sure you realise each 1 of what you see covers a little less than 50% of its size.
Plus there's nothing worse than needing a dozen more to finish a job
Anyway I am sure he will explain it better I have been away from it for a long time

We have a weird kind of slatey type thing on the side of our house. They ain't actual slates but they might as well be for all the trouble they give us. The roof tiles are flipping great concrete things, not pretty but at least substantial. Roof tiles in our place in frogland are furrow-shaped terracotta type things. For quite a long while every year we had to replace a few. This now finally seems to have stopped. Neighbours whose house was built with the same tiles just a year before ours have never had to replace one. We think we got a bad job lot. And yes, if you give them a knock the good ones give off a dull ding.Its a while since I worked with slate, but you have to handle each 1 and sound (its a distinctive "ring" as apposed to a dull sound) it for soundness.

Boiler pilot just gone out again!
Glad I didn't replace the outer cover!
Cleanliness and strength of pilot gas and jet next up for checking!
It's fine when the boiler is going.

Got me covid jab today. And still alive despite the little glob of blood which came out when the needle was pulled out.
Just took the opportunity when our opposite neighbours' drive was empty to reverse the car trailer and Disco off our land to turn it round.
Asked W to help. I love her to bits but she really doesn't get that I can't hear her shouting and would like clear hand signals please. It is only difficult because we have so many vehicles on our frontage and a curved low wall. In the end I persuaded her to go back indoors and managed to get it backed up more or less into a corner. Must get rid of our other huge box trailer wot we don't need any more!
