Something's never change, started raining here around 645 yesterday evening and kept going all night, starting clearing about an hr ago. Woke around 3/4am it was absolutely bucketing at that stage.

Need to edit that, started to clear for an hr or two this morning, but quickly filled back in to a total sh1t day now again, v used to it at this stage.
Schull ag show on today, total washout now, same as Skibbereen show the wk before last. Feel sorry for the organisers who put so much into these events.

keep going

Do you turn that off during the summer or how does it work Reg?

I thought it took a few days to raise the temp, so always wondering how it worked on one-off cool days...

its dry in between the showers here.

Ya set it to whatever temp ya want as in 20 deg here. It will turn on or off to maintain thar temperature then. Heating pump came on for a half hour every day for 6 weeks from first of june till middle off July them it got a little cooler weather wise so it had to compensate. No maintaince system. Very handy. Expensive to put in at the start tho. Around 12k or so.

River suck has burst its banks. I am hoping it does not turn into a major flood.

Reggie. Can you explain this heating system. Be building here in the next couple of years and trying to decide what to go for. Don't have any research done yet !

Mainly you have pipes in the ground a metre deep and a metre apart in your lawn or whatever. Requires an area roughly twice the size of your house ground plan. Brine is pumped through the pipes that are heated in the ground to whatever temp possible and then the heat pump will heat it up any more as required.

You set the temp in the house and it does the rest. Have it in the house 6 years now and no bother bar a panel that failed and replaced myself at a cost of €200. No need to service it or that was the sales pitch and we haven't serviced it yet. Main issues are the pumps but none have failed on us yet

No it's just I heard of someone who had it in and in the winter they could see where the snow and frost would stay all day above where the pipes were buried. Maybe their pipes are not buried as deep as yours.:P

Well thats a better situation than the other 95% of the country with their oil boilers 40feet from the house and a strip of six inch lush grass when all else is white with frost from pipes that have bog standard lagging 6inches below surface. And people wonder why they spend 3k to heat a 1400sq ft semi detached for the year.

Ah you can see where the grass isn't growing as well where the pipes are tho

Ah less grass to cut:D no it's just the pipes taking the heat out of the ground.:)

It's like a winters night here, pitch black at ten o'clock and steady rain since Sunday morning. Took the bin down the lane was as far as I ventured outside tonight. I'm that bored I decided to try my hand making Victoria sponge using up some duck eggs. Light and fluffy wouldn't be the adjectives I'd use to describe it. It'll be ate all the same.

I know it's stating the obvious but it's starting to get a little serious at this stage for some.

Base price

A heavy shower of hailstones followed by thunder/lightening a few minutes ago in NCD. Otherwise it was a nice day with the odd light shower. Serious rain and wind last night, an elder tree was blown over.
OH phoned me this morning to tell me that the asshole in the bog tried to draw more turf home last Saturday and got stuck. He got a nearby neighbour to pull him with a JD which also got stuck. They had to get the man who cuts to bring his track machine to pull both tractors out.
My blood is boiling. The tosser fecked up the original pass last year and now has fecked up the new pass :mad::mad::mad:
