Moan day. The door frames are not fitted yet, in fact they are still where they were put yesterday (inside) when they arrived. It is most frustrating not being able to see and watch what the builders are doing.
We have now had the new genny running for about twelve hours in total. It is going to be very economic compared to the petrol genies. For instance, the petrol gennies used about eight litres of petrol per day and so cost about €250 per month (our usage probably averages seven to eight hours per day). The new genny has used about eight litres of diesel B in twelve hours. Therefore it will cost about €130 per month. It is advertised as ’silent’. Although the noise is not as raucous as the petrol gennies, we would still like to find a silencer for it that would reduce the noise more. It is not silent by any stretch of the imagination. I have temporarily put some flexible tin foil chimney liner on the end of the exhaust exit and it has made a little difference. We are going to see if we can find a tyre stockist and get them to let us have an old car exhaust silencer and some pipe work. Any other ideas out there would be very welcome and appreciated. We are going out for a Chinese tonight, sort of a postponed valentines meal, it was too windy for us to leave the cats a few weeks back. Pictures tomorrow.
