As you can imagine we, not having air con in the house, have become quite good at keeping the house cool. We close windows and curtains when the sun is on them but open doors and windows that are in the shade, which means the north facing side and the east facing window in our bedroom when the...

Indeed, the square labelled U must be the relay that controls the huge current that an underfloor eletric system uses. And yes, the B or 8 in the box must be the bimetallic bit that changes the switching according to the surrounding temp. So thanks both of you, this is a big "phew" and makes...

So, managed to photograph it, so here tis, help with what is in the two boxes would be very appreciated Tia. P means "power" in French which for us would also be positive, N = neutral, pretty obvious.

Or pronounce the word "road" quite right!!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Well I have had quite a day. Mornng went shopping, nothing new there, then meet up with Dutch friens again nothin new. Then home and big lunch as we are going out to jazz in the evening, so we got outside bangers and chips. Then off to the place for the jazz, an hour's drive. Blazing hot and...
