Weekend
Fixed last weekend's leak properly, after extending the hatch in the floor to the back of the cupboard (with a handsaw because a power saw wouldn't fit under the toilet waste pipe (and removing that would be even more work)). I hadn't forced lagging far enough along the boiler circuit pipe when I fixed the leak under that floor a few years ago. While the hose material might not be up to the job and going to fail anyway, a decent job of installing it would have made life easier in the meantime. If the soft patch goes any further, it's under the floor in the next room, and I think that zone will just have to be cold until spring.
Sunday lunch then a walk with L and S and children. S has finally got the enormously expensive speaker wires with autoformers to impedence match his enormously expensive electrostatic speakers with his enormously expensive valve amplifier, so we actually got to hear the system. It's very good, but I can't claim my ears can hear the difference from a much more modestly priced system.
Fixed yet another leak this evening (at a manifold clamp again - the manifold that's awkward to get to because of the expansion tank put in when the tanks were changed). We've started thinking about how a radiator conversion would work - possibly change the tank connections to a conventional setup, leaving the lower coils free for possible future solar panel input.
