One for Mars

Post by X5Sport » Sat Oct 10, 2015 5:42 pm

To replace Flopsie who sadly passed after becoming unwell earlier in the year.

Meet Ben (at left) and Jerry.  4 month old brothers who were about to go for adoption coz no one wanted them as they were 'too close to wild colours'.  Who cares!  They're fine  :)

One for me indeed  :-[
I was really sad when Flopsie went but these two look just as scrumptious. It baffles me how people can judge animals on their colours, markings etc. Its a companion not a bloody accessory!
Ben and Jerry? Hmmm, I really fancy some Karamel Sutra!
Wishing them and the fam all the best and lots of cuddles.

I've got my wine too lol, it's been one of those weekends!
Trouble with the local IKEA is its always packed with people seeking budget picture frames. No wonder gramps went high-end!

Water - run is too long in my opinion and whilst building was the ONE thing I overlooked. I'm an unhappy chappy buddy.  :(

Ouch indeed.

Can you isolate it - and can you access it from underneath? I can't sort my furthest away room either, even with the biggest pump  :'(

To access means pulling up the Karndean and then hammering through to expose pipes, then splice em and take back shorter runs to a new manifold with more ports. Costly to say the least...

Went down the idea of new heavy duty pump but it could be that that won't work either. Few things to try tomorrow before we take the drastic route. Think also your furthest away room and my issue could be the same, pipe run too long so the water loses it's heat before it gets back to the pump...

I'll know more tomorrow but not good.  :(
