Had to hit these 2 plots hard and fast to get them ready for screeding Friday... ...I had my first Covid vaccine hit on Saturday, felt fine Sunday, but had the mother of all vaccine hangovers kick in at about midday Monday and the same again Tuesday !! Had to go home to crash out both days !! Madness !! Luckily I woke up on Wednesday morning feeling much more human again so get it all in and tested just in time... . Anywho. On we go... .

The Awakening course complete and I've finally earned my spot on the @heat_geek map... ...look there I am 😁 . I've got a feeling The Mastery is gonna be pretty mental tho . #yeahthatwasprettytough #heatgeek #heatgeeksassemble #cpd #everydayisaschoolday #plumbkernow #ionlydotechnicalshit

🎶white liiiiiines🎶... . Tough slog today getting this UFH laid as part of an ongoing cottage renovation... Despite this being a high-temp heat-source, I opted to go for 150mm centres to allow lower flow temps (so more efficient) and also future-proof the system should the owner decide to go with a renewable/low-temp heat-source option in the future. .

Apparently "the bloke who serviced it for the last few years never had to take the cover off the boiler" 🤦♂️🙄... ...Then, suddenly, the penny dropped for this customer 🙈🙈 . There's paying £50 for someone to chuck an analyser in the flue for 2 mins, and then there's paying sensible money for a proper 'service'. . #boilerservicing #boilerservice #annualservice #doitrightordontdoitatall #vaillant #vaillantboilers #pipeworkpimp #plumbkernow 
Up to now, I've managed to get through my entire plumbing career having avoided fitting one of these bleddy things... Safe to say I shan't be rushing to do the next... I have spent far too long wedged in this b***ard of a space !! 🙈🙈 The lagging can wait for a few days whilst I unfold my legs and stretch my spine out straight again!...

Yeah, I think your glycol concentration might be a bit too high madam. . There's dosing correctly to ensure the system is protected, and then there's just banging in a shedload of gloopy fluid, not testing it, and hoping you get away with it... . Admittedly it probably won't freeze, but you've essentially got blue treacle pumping around the system causing unnecessary stress on system components and also having a huge negative effect on system efficiency ! 🤦♂️🙈 . Your heat pumps deserves better. . #paypeanutsgetmonkeys #lookafteryourheatpump #ashp #heatpump #airsourceheatpump #maintenanceiskey #heatpumpmaintenance #annualservice #heating #dailyhvac #heatpumpscornwall #plumbkernow #ionlydotechnicalshit

It's not rocket science... But it is science... . Getting stuck into another module on the @heat_geek Heating Mastery Course, and pushing the old grey matter harder every time I open the book. . Great words from @sideshowsquarepants sums this course up perfectly... "Yes, the questions are supposed to be hard".. 🤣🤣 . I'm really impressed with the content and the course structure that is cleverly designed to force you through to the correct thought process... although it really hurts my brain and makes me want to smash my computer up sometimes 🙈🙈 . Looking forward to the next half of the course soon (but now for gin)... . #notyouraverageplumber #anyonecanchuckpipestogether #butiknowwhyitworks #heatingmastery #heatgeek #heatgeeksassemble #seperatethewheatfromthechaffe #everydayisaschoolday #keeplearning #plumbing #heating #dailyhvac #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #adayinthelifeofaplumber #plumbkernow #pipeworkpimp #ionlydotechnicalshit

2nd year service for this @mygrantuk Aerona3 air source heat pump system that I installed back in 2019 as part of a complete new build installation for a local developer. .

Friday was all about Samsung ASHP and Joule Pre-plumbs... . First full proper services on these 3 systems, on the same development, which hadn't had the attention they deserve and need since they were installed in 2018!! The inconsistencies in the install quality, water condition etc, from plot to plot was mind-blowing, considering it was the same installer on the whole job 🤷🏻 . So many people think that this type of system is just fit and forget, or that the cost of a proper service is too expensive... Frankly this is such a naive attitude, which is soon turned on its head if/when things start to go wrong !!! . Ah well, a bit of MPA TLC and were golden for another year 👍😁 . #preventionisbetterthancure #lookafteryourheatpump #samsung #ashp #heatpump #joule #joulecylinders #unvented #g3 #hotwater #adayinthelifeofaheatingengineer #adayinthelifeofaplumber #dailyhvac #annualservice #heating #renewableheating #renewableenergy #plumbing #heating #pipeworkpimp #plumbkernow #ionlydotechnicalshit 
Me: "the only way this situation could be any worse would be if the dickhead original sparky felt it necessary to hide the UFH wiring centre in the most inaccessible place in the cupboard..."
