Boiler Cupboard






Finally!! Here it is in all its glory - the Alpha Flowsmart 25 and all the controls & valves. I've managed to squeeze the lot inside a kitchen tower unit including the condense neutralizer, scale reducer, water shock arrester, Fernox TF1 system filter, and additional expansion vessel. Not quite as neat as I'd hoped but I should be able to get to and remove each component for servicing/future maintenance. The vertical flue went through the roof today so all I need are my heated skirting boards which are due around the end of the month and the electrical controls need to be fitted and wired up. All being well I'll have heating & hot water in 4-5 weeks time.

Also got the sun room roof finished today and the bath fitted, connected to waste and the thermostatic diverter valve is plumbed to fill the bath from the overflow. Bath is full of COLD water and levelled up, legs adjusted & fixed to floor and all siliconed around the perimeter.

Will think about making a start on the drainage alterations on Friday, weather permitting although there is a more involved repair to do before the drains will pass a water/pressure test (required by the BCO). And I now have the tiles for the en-suite and the bathroom on site so hopefully can start tiling over the weekend.

The front door has been sanded back and had a its final coat of gloss. The internal window cills have now had two top coats of paint and all the internal door frames have had two undercoats & 1 top coat - may give them a second top coat Friday, well young Gary may give them a second top coat as it is pretty much Gary who has done all the internal decorating.
