ASHP day!
My new ASHP has been delivered!
just waiting on all the pressure pipe and fittings from coastal koi,
and also the rubber flexi foot stands from direct channel.
Should be up and running in time for the summer feeding regime

all delivered next day for free
they've got a clearance on eurobatex split insulation by the full box but you need to buy adhesive to stick the seams it as it's not self adhesive...

couldn't resist doing a bit today even with a bad back..
as sitting on me arse won't get the babby a new coat....as my old brummie gaffer would say...
the missus isn't having it with the ASHP facing the house, so it's got to go side on.
so i moved a few plants out of the way and gravelled the area infront of the ASHP,
and then laid a couple of 600 x 300 slabs for the rubber feet to sit on.
did i say how much i hate hand mixing concrete
