Simon Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Flooding the kitchen, top down.... oops :D All the electric tripped the other day, I eventually worked out it was the immersion heater. Anywho, Mrs H is starting to whiff and wants a bath [electric immersion does all the hot water in the spring, summer and autumn when the Rayburn's not lit http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png' alt=';)'> ] so she told me I must fix it. I got the probe & thermostat out this morning but obviously didn't have a spanner of the required 82mm to get the heater element itself out. A plumber friend dropped his round this evening [sticker proudly proclaiming 'Guaranteed Forever' - I nearly snapped it ] so I whipped it out while little man was having his shower. Anyway, he gets out ['Daddy.....fin....out now.... beebies] so I left it. After sitting on the sofa with him for half an hour this tapping was getting on my pip so I went to investigate. Didn't take many seconds of wondering why I had wet socks and was getting splashed to realise it was coming through the ceiling....bit like a Direct Line ad.... So I crammed the old immersion back in and mopped up the water dripping through the spotlights onto the cooker with a tea towel and came on here.... I just don't get plumbing.....

JCB BLOKE Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well yesterday actually but just too late last night to start posting pics etc.. We had a tractor run round our local area and up into the Dales. About 30 miles, mainly green lanes with the occasional road bit up around Coniston Hall, Gordale Scar, Airton and Kirby Malham, finishing up at the pub for a shandy. The route was very hard on the old machines, 'cos the top of the hill at Gordale Scar is 400m above sea level...you could see the plumes of black smoke well before the tractors came into sight! The scenery up there made the climb worth it though -as did the £700 raised for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. This first lot show going up Gordale Scar...
