Granny might just have inherited yon shovel when she were nobbut a lass.
Stones will be replaced around the uprights ...... someday.And 10 out of 10 for the brickwork, and a gold star for the shovel
When my kids were smaller we heard them chatting.Granny might just have inherited yon shovel when she were nobbut a lass.

It will also serve as a handrail too.
You forget @Nearly is the king of the scrap heap scavengers he finds near new stuff the jammy buggerThe inspectors will be ruling that off this thread, shiny bits and galvanising.
You would be better in 'Not quite farm engineering or a quick bodge thread.

I think its only EBAC (British company) that have a hot water fill now............right bunch of comedians
'nother domestic one...
Pump went on 9 yr old Aeg washing machine ,so whilst fitting a new one i spotted that it actually had 2 pipes and solenoid valves for cold and hot water inlet and all wired in but they terminated into one for the cold inlet as per modern machines do now,
Anyway we have fair bit of hot water to spare and so happens i hadnt got round to getting rid of the previous scrap one and it was from the day when they had 2 inlet pipes and all that goes with it.
de wired the hot side of the double valve on the aeg and Fitted the valve and pipe from the old machine through previously blanked off hole,on aeg in back ... and wired it up with the 2 wires from the disconnected one and low and behold ..it actually worked so the electronics must support hot as well as cold because its still cold rinse.but hot water fills for the wash saving some electric heating .if you follow .
happy days.

yes ive looked a bit and i thought that was the case about £650 for one i think. i don't mind that it lasts a few years .I think its only EBAC (British company) that have a hot water fill now.
We were looking for a h&C filling machine, most manufacturers just didn't. possibly change their tune with the price of leccy the way it is. Super bodge BTTyes ive looked a bit and i thought that was the case about £650 for one i think. i don't mind that it lasts a few years .

Been thinking about this today - how about a thermostatic mixer valve set to 40 degrees to feed the washer ?....Since I converted the Rayburn back to wood , we have plenty of hot water.We were looking for a h&C filling machine, most manufacturers just didn't. possibly change their tune with the price of leccy the way it is.

Trouble is with modern washers and 30 deg washes it's no good. Worth checking manual as to whether you can connect to a hot supply not exceeding x deg but unlikely any will say you can now.Been thinking about this today - how about a thermostatic mixer valve set to 40 degrees to feed the washer ?....Since I converted the Rayburn back to wood , we have plenty of hot water.
