Minirolls Musings

With only a few hours and some good weather today I snuck out and started roughing out the shelf idea I’ve had to solve a few problems.

I put the green end of the bed cabinet on a while ago, and I cut out the door but I didn’t have any hinges at the time. Well now they have arrived that was the first job. I have some really nice black flush catches and for some reason I didn’t use it on this door. Oh well one random latch it is!

Having settled on the position and orientation of the main tank, I could start connecting up pipes. In the process of figuring out its position I did start cutting and connecting pipes yesterday, but having changed my mind, they will need re-doing. Luckily the pipes I already cut are only short, and I need to order 1 more length of hose anyway due to the length of my system.

This morning was devoted to installing the gas hob in the work surface by the sliding door. This was one of those jobs that was measure 5 times, get ready to cut, and then measure again just to make sure. But once it was in I had a real burst of motivation as it’s one of the first visible appliances installed. As a side bonus it also meant one of the cardboard boxes in my shed could now go in the bin!

But back to the heating system…

Weather is starting to turn and so it’s becoming more important than ever that I get the heating system installed. I held out for a new product by Autoterm called the Baltic system. Buy badgering their sales rep I was one of the first in the UK to get hold of the system. And then everything has taken longer than expected so I’m not going to be the first to install it after all. A few YouTubers have already got videos out about it now.
