Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. A lovely day yesterday, warm and sunny. Another one today. The sky is clear and Venus is shining brightly. No contrails, a line of light cloud along the skyline. A gentle breeze. Perfect. It can stay like this all year round for me.
Some more catching up in the garden is a possibility.

tiggy is rootling about in the wild bit of the back garden. It's good to see him out and about after he was more or less confined to barracks during all the wet weather.

Have a happy day everyone.

Afternoon seekz. xxx

I hope you get some rain soon or you will be having bush fires.

[TWR]

Morn Boaty and all, yes what we could do with, a good start, looking like it's going to be a warm one.

[waterboatman]

Morning TWR. Did you get the job finished yesterday?

[mikey4444]

Yes Boaty....OK as long as I don't rush about or climb long flights of stairs !

The birds were going nuts outside my bedroom window this earlier....how is a man and a dog supposed to sleep !

[waterboatman]

They are the heralds of the new day mikey. ;o}

[TWR]

Yes boaty one long job, had another that I'm doing today but just the cab side of a van, I finished off yesterday Dismantling a shed for a friend, the person who erected the 8x6 never put a proper base down, this has caused the Floor to be in contact with the ground causing the wood bearers to perish, the felt on the roof has been left this has caused the Chip board to Warp & Bubble and is uggered so that's another to sort out, keeps me busy which Iike, what you on with today?

[waterboatman]

Some people should be banned from DIY.

For me today? I have no idea at the moment. I'm sure something will occur.

I'm still trying to sort my washing machine out.

[TWR]

What's the prob Boaty?

[TWR]

Re/ Washing Machine!

[waterboatman]

The 'Rinses' light keeps flashing and it won't do anything.

[tamborine]

Gmorning all, chooks have all gone broody & wont let me at the eggs.

[waterboatman]

It's a Miele Novotronic W864 if that's any help.

[TWR]

Have you checked the Lower Right hand drain outlet, is there a blockage? the area I'm on about, it's a little door at the lower Right of the machine.

[waterboatman]

Morning tam xxx Broody chooks. It's the time of year. :o}

[waterboatman]

Yes, it's on the left on this one, I've drained it and cleaned what I can get at of the filter. I've unscrewed and taken out that bit. I don't know if there is anything else I can take out.

[TWR]

As stupid as it seems, have you a sock missing from a wash? the drain behind that outlet is a long pipe, long enough for a sock to stop the rise cycle, the pipe is held on with spring clips & easy to remove Boaty, the only issue is getting to the area, you have to remove the back panel, it's not a big job but worth the effort.

[waterboatman]

Socks and other small items are always put into net bags to avoid that, but there is always the possibility that something could be blocking it. what you say does make sense. I will have a look. Thanks mate. I hadn't thought of that.
