That&#8217;s quite a departure from the norm &#8211; usually on Fridays I knock off early and have a good wash but I was on a roll so I kept on going. And I bet I&#8217;ll pay for that tomorrow, but at least it&#8217;s done now. A couple of days to dry everything out and I can start moving stuff around.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/foto2010\/1003012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/foto2010\/1003012.jpg\" alt=\"garden fire les guis virlet puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>The weather has gone colder now. Last night it went down to minus 5.4 but today was a glorious perfect blue sunny day. I generated about 240 amp-hours of electricity, that&#8217;s just under 3KwH and a new record. I had the heater on up here for five hours.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s got me thinking &#8211; a modern automatic washing machine uses about 0.9KwH for a full load on maximum wash. If I could rig up a way of having hot water to feed into the machine and running it on a standard wash I reckon I could do a load in about half of that. I&#8217;ll bring my washing machine back from Brussels and have a play with it. In the meantime I might ask someone to check the consumption of a washing machine on that kind of load.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is Saturday and as it&#8217;s the first of the month that means Montlucon, Brico Depot and a megashop. I&#8217;m going for all my gardening materials too. I&#8217;m going to have my work cut out for the next month or two.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-937 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='937' data-nonce='3f4a5a8f9e' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-937 lc'>+5<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-937 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='937' data-nonce='3f4a5a8f9e' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-937 unlc'>-4<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-937 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve now finished clearing out the space where I&#8217;m going to put the two halves of the old Transit.
