Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

[dunnyrail]

Useful bit of kit, those plug-in monitors - used mine on the old freezer to discover a new one was 7x more efficient, so that had to be replaced

I got one many moons ago at a shop in Hemel. Never worked out how to use it, must dig it out and persevere with it.

BTW - I really love the way those terraced houses are working out, Mike.

Thank you Rik..
Tried to do some 3d printing today but apparently the ender has other ideas..
Wify thinks I'm putting heating on for her...
Too cold to print..
Must be above 5 degres ...ie 6 before printer will start warming up bed...

6 degrees is a tad low indoors - 15 degrees to avoid condensation

20 degrees minimum to avoid martial discord

I pay the bills in our house, so 20 degrees maximum.

The temperature rose enough to defrost the shed, and let the paint dry..so I got the front walls painted..

Martial discord is when she pings you with the cast iron pan, right?

Herself is very sensitive to temp: 20C is acceptable at night; 19, where I set the thermostat during the day, is barely tolerable; 18 is absolutely out -- "It's ice cold, stop being so cheap".
In summer, I set the a/c at 22C, day and night, and hear grumbles about the house being too hot. 23 is "It's broiling in here".
Outdoors at 2:30 p.m. it is -4C; there are reports from the Prairies of -50

It is truly stunning bit of kit..bolted on to the wooded base, or it was..light rain here so only a few warm up laps ...but it runs like a Swiss watch, and sounds fantastic

I assume it's brass. Sometimes, one has to make the decision to invest in quality
