Not sure but I finished it on Sunday.
Still got the capping to do but I did put a 300mm DPC overthe ridge in case we get any rain.
Don't understand your CH/DHW issues at all. The systems are so simple. Just motorised valves and the like, and you can manually override them to check if its the control motor or the valve. I know/knew naff all about CH 34 years ago, but I put this system in and it is still going strong. The recent 18 months ago TRV on every rad threw the only "wobbler" in all that 34 year period of time as I had no heat sink because the bathroom(s) rads were shutting themselves off.Have discovered that when set to HW only, we have no hot water.
So for the moment ignoring that and concentrating on what I hope is purely a, or more than one, airlock.
They are quite common, I have had one at least before and a heating engineer who was a member of my car club told me how to fix it.
I did check it out on tinternet just to make sure I wasn't yet again doing something stupid and yes, they are quite common.
so all rads closed now except for the one in the main bedroom, obvs have bled them all and none had any air. Waiting to see how hot it gets.
As for the hob. We were cooking dins together. She did chips in the oven in said oven pan. I boiled up some grren beans for myself.
The meat tin once empty must have been put on the ring.
She says by me, I say by her, .....
Anyway, it took effort but is clean as a new pin now.
See yez!
Had a useful e-mail exchange with those lovely Octonauts at Octopus Energy today.
They confirmed that IF an Air Source Heat Pump worked at maximum efficiency at castle clarke it would still (like for like) cost me more to use ASHP for heating than using my current inefficient 34 year old gas boiler. Not by a lot, but it would still be more costly.

How’s the cola (sugar free) and ice tonight then

Pass on that, the only thing im having is Scottish Golden liquid on ice & it aint pee.
Wifey is a Jameson's lush and can drink huge quantities of it.
When we went out for a night it cost me a fortune in double Jameson's.
Until...
I spotted the "Rusty Nail" cocktail on the menu.
She had one and drank it VERY SLOWLY.... saved me a ruddy fortune!
Good on you! Great achievement!Not sure but I finished it on Sunday.
the ridge in case we get any rain.
Looking forward to pics of the DogHouse!!
Well seeing as how a Rusty Nail is half and half Usquebaugh and the Scottish Liqueur, you would not be letting your country down if you had one, or a few!! Lovely on a cold night in front of a roaring log burning stove!!Pass on that, the only thing im having is Scottish Golden liquid on ice & it aint pee.
Right.
The HW issue is sorted. One closed gate valve which is now open.
I have precisely one motorised valve that's all.
But, like you I am mystified as working on all the central heating systems, gas boiler driven, that I have had in 4 houses, I have never had a problem like this.
I have had one airlocked rad once up until now.
I thought I was getting on top of it before dinner, but while we were eating it went back to square one.
I nearly had nearly all the rads working.
I think I tried to go too fast, getting one rad working, then another, then another..... I had all 3 on the top floor working, then carried on downstairs, got one working, then tried to get another on stream..... That's where it went wrong.
I'll be back on it tomorrow, taking more time and after having done more research. It is only a 7 rad system now as the other 7 have all been closed off for ages.
I just wish I could visualize it and see how the airlock or airlocks developed in the first place, then I might be able to solve it.

You say "eether" I say "eyether", etc etc.
At least I didn't simply call it "Whisky".
