Stewart Hart s travelling steady had a couple of pages in ME or MEW last year..I made some something similar for the same job..I bought a Chester small fixed steady too as its the only one I found with enough metal on the fingers to drill holes in and add rollers |

I cant see any corrolatiom between them either! We cant rely on wofi as its BT .Apparantly their routers are nt very good..They even came once and put 200 feet of tree proof cable up especially for us..It made no difference..gadgets gadgets everywhere but not an on/off switch among them.. |

Interesting that Neil I have a 12 v solar panel on the roof of my boat which powers all I need,mind you satelite televisions can be used but not by me!Also a 1 kw inverter..The farmer who owns the site keeps checking my shoreline meter as I have only used ?7 worth of electricity in 17 months..I ll do the same in our new bungalow when I get time..Multi fuel stove ,back boiler 1 radiator and a 12 v pump to feed it..I expect the gas provider will want to know why we are nt using enough gas.. |

I think meaduring kwh in my workshop has been solved .. As far as the British Gas smart thing us concerned we have not yet found a way of altering it in any way.. I thinnk if a thermostat is set too allow hot water to pass at 25c it generally will..We can understand that..We cannot understand how smart things work,not being too smart ourselves..Those who like to play with gadgets can have them all,please have them all! |
