I've pulled the pin - mutual agreement between myself, builder and customer on some projects that were about to be started.
In all honesty about 200+ k of work.
Someone is dying every 2 minutes in Italy, 17 minutes in New York and we are about to be under the onslaught of the virus over here.
Anything essential will be done, under strict conditions or premise inspection.
I'm not going to take any adverse risks.
There will be the other side to this pandemic, I want to be around on the other side

Our company moves fwds again ....strange days these. Chking
Almost at the end of my dad's full bathroom install. This started out as him wanting a new shower and tiling around said area. With his mind changing about what he wants every five minutes myself and my brother (joiner) have ended up taking the whole room back to the brickwork, fully tiled the walls and floor, installed new WC, moved locations of basin and radiator, fitted a new ceiling and installed spotlights and fan. Just got to tile the shower tray now.
We've been getting ale money for our work... and now the pubs are shut.

The weekend before the lockdown I took my little Mavic Mini out for a flight to get some footage (link below). The intention was to pay proper attention to what I was filming, whilst always flying safely of course, so I could make a proper edited film using the footage and add some music. My other videos are just raw footage up until now although there are some beautiful scenes. I take no credit for the beautiful scenes because Guernsey makes that easy.
I had never edited a video before this and it took me a while to get it right but I had the time during this lockdown to go through the footage I had gathered before all this madness really kicked off here. 40 minutes of flight footage around the area condensed into 8 minutes for the video. Then I found a bit of rights-free music to hopefully go with it.
If you want to relax (I hope it's relaxing for you!) please take a look. It's 8 minutes of scenery on one of our small peninsulas with an old fort and a long distance rifle range on it. On my channel is other raw footage of a few coastal flights over Guernsey.
Here is my video. Best viewed at 1080p

Hi all you copper lover's, take a look at this (it was done by a friend of mine).
54mm tube.
54mm tube.
Love seeing improvised radiators
I have only found one improvised heating coil possibly for drying and it was sat on top of a cylinder in an airing cupboard. The stupid thing was it was plumbed into the hot distribution pipe. It was cooling the water down before it reached the hot taps. It was about ten metres of 22mm tube in a coil just on the hot distribution in the airing cupboard. Such a coil on the heating side would have been ok as it would be just like another radiator but on the hot distribution it's seems pretty daft to me.
My other thought was it was a silly "energy saving" device that whoever put it there thought maybe it'd pick up some of the cylinder heat loss and put it into the hot water. I made a thread on it here ages ago and nobody could give a definitive answer.
What a silly way to go about it I thought. It was generating a "parasitical loss" on the cylinder and cooling the water in the distribution system down.

Is that Renault trafic?
Fiat Doblo 👍 just the garage to finish now 😀
Nice day today. Cooler tomorrow, another coat of undercoat.

What we all working on this week ?
This week I've been sorting my car out for its' MOT in a couple of months.
Oil and filter change yesterday, today I planned swapping both front anti-roll drop links, started quite late so only managed one as it was awkward as hell.
Tomorrow I'll do the other drop link and on Friday it will be the offside track rod end. Then should be good to go and will have saved £240 garage fees 😀 😀 😀
