Yes SS winter maintenance time, moss cleared from gutters, leaves cleared from drains, fences all checked and some minor repairs, and a little general tidying and pruning of some of the bushes.
Finally got round to changing the door seal of the stove, we’ve only used stove a few times on chilly evenings so far this autumn as the house is so well insulated, just burning a bit of pallet wood, when we do start to burn the smokeless coal it will be lit 24/7.
The car is winter ready after it’s recent service and new lights and battery, GHB +extra top up kit, and sleeping bags in boot. The camper is booked in for mot and service tomorrow.
The new solar panels are working well and doing what we expected bearing in mind the shorter daylight hours, after all they are just for battery charging for AA’s, AAA’s, usb and rechargeable devices during power cuts. We have never had any intention of permanently running any appliance on solar power.
