You’d be surprised how many people get rid of a house and come onto the canal - it’s not for everyone though, especially winters!

The best bit I really love about the Delta 2 is that I am able to increase the capacity when the need arises.

I was not expecting that such a portable power station could pump out 1024Wh of power.

Ooooh the pain of the broken glass….so great that your fabulously talented artisan can sort them for you.

It’s probably to late now joe but if you buy a foam gun and use gunable foam you can control the flow much easier and you don’t use half as much foam. Just turn the back screw of when not in use clean out with foam cleaner rarely as that’s what makes em clog good luck

@DanniandJoe

Жыл бұрын

Yeah that’s a good shout actually my dad’s always used them, those cans are so messy 😂😫

For future you may consider getting the gun for the foam, a lot more control over the speed and amount that comes out. Also you can buy foam cleaner, which is almost magical the way it dissolves the foam, whether wet or dry, it also removes the black staining.

Probably too late now but you can get a product called evo-stik polyurethane wood glue, which is a liquid but expands to fill a joint like foam. It comes in a tube suitable for a caulking gun or in a bottle. It expands much less than foamfix so is much more controllable.

Ah yes I know the stuff. Only thing I’d say is the cost of it vs spray foam for the size of some of the gaps I’d have to fill it would be considerable but considerably less messy for sure!

Hey Joe love the Rope on the floor idea someone may have already said this but a tip for expanding foam is, if you get it on something especially hard like wood, glass or plastic is not to wipe it off immediately but to let it dry I know it seems counterintuitive but then it just peels right off. Cheers

Greetings from Tehachapi, CA Tedious work you had with rope spacers. Shame about the stain glass panels, good thing you kept the creators contact information. And you paid the bill 💵…Lol

I'd use a rubber sealant (lifeseal) on the floorboards. Definitely not expanding foam.

Hello Danni and Joe, brilliant ticking off all those jobs but so sorry to see the broken stained glass. I went on a stained glass course a while ago I loved it and made a purple and green panel then one day the wind blew it off the window cilll and it broke, my own stupid fault, you must have been gutted but I'm glad you can get it repaired.

A bit of a tip for fire lighting as I have a similar issue occasionally on my shed stove. Normally happens when the chimney is cold and has no draw. I just cut some sticks to fit the biggest jam jar you can find, pop them in a fill with parafin up to about half way. Home made firelights that burn really hot and warm the chimney up.

Got to ask, are you sealing the rope and floors now? If not I am wondering how you will keep the rope clean and stop it getting wet, when clean the floors, especially in the bathroom. Never seen rope used. Is that a boat thing? A tradie doing my timber house floors, used silicon, which was ridiculous as it falls through when the boards expand. I enjoy watching your reno.

@DanniandJoe

Жыл бұрын

So we’re using rope more as an aesthetic gap filler (it’s used in the boat world to build old ships as it swells when it gets wet and seals). Now the floor has shrunk to its smallest (hopefully) in the summer the gaps shouldn’t get much bigger at all and then the foam will hold it anyway. It’s hessian rope so quite hardy and hoovers really well, we use the cleaning pads/mop so doesn’t get soaking wet except for rain if the doors are open for a bit but seems to work so far.

The other way would have been difficult. That is using wood fillets. You did well

Why sod about with old wood floor and rope? Just cover the floor with ply then get laminate flooring, save yourself a load of bother,... Not sure but that bird thing on your chimney, may cause a heck of a down draft, going by its very shape. If you get rid of that and use a normal cowling it may then draw properly.

There may not be a manual for a lot of things in this world but there is always common sense which obviously you are sadly lacking, why wouldn't you just use a silicon type of sealer or No More Gaps extrude it into the gap and you have 24 hours basically to put the rope back in.
