More...In my previous post I said I thought solar gain would not be a significant influence on the boiler run time. It's worth checking, though.
More...A few people I've talked to have suggested that running the heating continuously in a house might actually reduce the amount of oil burned. I was a bit sceptical so decided to do a little science.
More...The house I'm renting has oil-fired central heating. It's a leaky old house so burns quite a lot so I've been playing around with methods of reducing the consumption while still keeping things comfy. I got an oil delivery earlier in the week that provides a good point to check some of my measurements.

More...Bit too breezy today for me to be happy getting my scaffold tower out so I popped over to Thurso for some 30mm galvanised twist nails and general shopping then took some photos on the way home.
More...This evening I went up to the site for the first calm dry evening for a while to use my laser level to mark up the position of the centre stud for the east gable. While there I did a check of the level's idea of horizontal.
More...It's a windy sunny day and I'm out of jobs to do on windy days so it seems like a good time for an update.
More...Still here. Finished the sarking under the floor. Started on the west gable.
