  1. Fanny Adams here in Petchabun but a few clouds about.

     

    To water the garden or not , that is the question. If I water it....rain will follow. If I don't .....nothing. Not a sausage let alone rain.

     

    One thing I hate about the first heavy rain of the season is the hordes of Meng Mows that spring out of the ground in there millions and fly to the nearest light. They then shed there wings and indulge in promiscous sex all over the place , pulling trains on the window sills and any flat service.  The following morning there are drifts of these critters all over the balcony and I have to get the garden blower out to give them their last <deleted> .When they come calling you have to close all windows and doors and pull the curtains or they get in to watch television with you and sup your beer.

    Thank you for the information. One of the problems that I have found since we built the house 20 years ago is that we have no access in the house to get into the roof space. I at 79 am too old to make one and TBH the number of times that I have needed to go into the roof space, I can count on one hand with fingers left to spare.

     

    Second option would be to drill a big enough hole through the wall as near to the light as possible.

     

    When building our house apart from having a service hatch to the attic I also got the builder to weld a steel walkway 1 foot wide the length of the house in case I needed to get easy access up there for any repairs that might occur.

    Came in handy as last year a mouse got up there and chewed through the internet cable. Repair man was pleased with the easy access.

    would I be safe to assume  that you could not run A?C overnight with that battery then? 

     

    Which is about the only thing I would want it for. Already have cheap solar lights ( garden type ) in every room so interior lighting sorted. Cook with gas, mains water ( no pump ), watch movies on tablet , so the only thing we would miss without grid power is our 13,000 btu air con , which recently has been going about 20 hours a day.

  4. When the switch in mine broke I took it apart to find out why.

     

    When you use a bush wacker you blip the throttle rather than just have it on full all the time. 

     

    Inside the switch I found that the bit of plastic connected to the throttle that completes the electric circuit was very flimsy and had snapped off. 

     

    Since repair of this bit of plastic was not really possible I bought an ordinary lamp rocker switch and rewired the Wacker to use this switch. Worked fine but blipping not possible. Just on or off option.

     

    Dirt cheap repair and no waiting.
