… day yesterday, today though, I was back at work.
But before that I had breakfast of course and as it was so flaming cold in the verandah I ate it up here. And I did something that I have been longing to do – namely to run the electric heater simply for some casual heat for 20 minutes or so. We’re getting all luxurious around here these days
And so this morning I had a pile of paperwork to do and one or two phone calls to make. After that it was some wood to cut up from the dry pile in the lean-to, and to bring a load up here as I’m close to running out.
For the rest of the day I was working on the bedroom ceiling.
But with there being plenty of solar energy I had the electric heater running up here, simply for the sake of using the surplus current.
More importantly, bearing in mind the water issuaes that I’m having right now, I had a go with this 12-volt electric heated seat pad idea around the water butts that I mentioned the other day.
And that seemed to work okay in principle, because it produced about 20 litres of water out of the frozen mass in there.
But I can do better than this. if I can find some double-sided tape or something I shall make an amendment to that in that I shall set it inside some of that reflective space-blanket insulation stuff, to concentrate the heat against the frozen water.
That might work even better.
