Disco Inferno?

Bzzt. "Pissco Inferno" would have got a laff. This barely raised a curled top lip.

Watching the F1 qualifying in the first time forever, and I see a bloke named Leclerc driving a Fezza.

I sincerely hope he does this in the garage

Just saw a plumber driving around with his buisness name on his ute. "The Turdinator"

Booked flights to Darwin in June, last year got cancelled by covid so fingers crossed it doesn't happen again.

Interesting, basically the same dates as we booked last year and flights have cost $1800 extra....(this bit does not please me)

New hot water heater today coming with a flex cord and isolator already connected.

 

[Over The Post]

I really need one here. Installed one is a 40 litre (yes, SFA) commercial one set to 70deg, with shit insulation. Over 40% of my power bill is caused by the damn thing. I'd get one of those on-demand things but there's no gas.

Do you leave it on heating all the time?

Insulation is your usual yellow batt around the outside with a thin sheet steel outer.

It might as well be on all the time, being 40 litres it has next to no thermal mass and keeping it at 70deg takes an inordinate amount of power.

I really should buy a second hand domestic heater and get a plumber to bypass the existing one, then I can hook it back up when I move out.

Why not just heat it up in the morning for a shower, turn it off and then put it on again in the afternoon to do your dishes or whatever again at night? A bit inconvenient but iirc you are a bit of battler at the moment, sometimes these are the things you have to do save $.

Even I used to often only turn my old 125l one outside on for an hour or 2 in the morning.

edit - from memory many years ago I had a tiny old elec probably around 50l that was in the laundry of my sisters house I rented, I left that on all the time pretty sure that used to cost me a lot.

I may have to do that, and revert to boiling water in the jug when I need it during the day. It's had to be on for raising birds, there's a fair bit of cleaning and sterilising to do each mealtime but they're nearly weaned and I'm not doing any more.

Not really sure that it pleases me but not sure where else to put it.

Yesterday morning just after I arrived at work I had a phone call from somebody claiming to have found my keys in the Bunnings car park. I asked him how he knew they were mine. He said that they had my name and phone number on them. I was a bit puzzled because I have never put my name and number on a set of keys. I guessed it was a scam and told him that I didn't think they were mine and hung up. About five minutes later I get a call from Bunnings customer service saying that someone has handed in a set of keys that belong to me. I told her that I didn't think they were mine but would come and have a look after work. About five minutes later I get a call from someone claiming to have found my keys in the car park at Stocklands (a local shopping mall). I was getting a bit annoyed by this stage, convinced it was a scam, and told her that they weren't mine and hung up. I told a workmate when he came in and he couldn't help but smile. I then knew that he had something to do with it. He then confessed that before work he had driven around town randomly dropping off old sets of keys that he had put my name and number on. I had about 8 more calls during the day. This workmate and I prank each other frequently and he said that this was payback for an April Fools prank I played on him, which worked surprisingly well as I thought he would have clued on to the fact that it was April the 1st but didn't.

Outstanding. Absolutely Outstanding.

Just got my shutters and blinds put in....it looks fantastic
I helped the guy so it saved him 3 hours (saved me 3 hours too)

When the guy first came round to measure he was a pedantic OCD prick who hoped he was retired before he had to come back and do our job and so did we

Today he was lots of fun, we got on real well...... but its nice to not have men in the house


and he was a Hawthorn supporting regional Qlder who was born and bred here


Only the sparky 2 more times (last call is for the chandelier in the hallway) and the plumber (who is a mate to go)

Then I can get on with my hermit lifestyle
