They do log into it remotely on request to diagnose faults, but on this occasion it doesn't get as far as the OS, so they can't. It's a combined pellet and log burner and the controller also covers the heat stores, mixing valves, pumps and any solar thermal input so quite a complex box of tricks. I guess it makes sense to use ubiquitous libraries for thus, hence the use of Linux.
Looks good, but I'd have to buy that!
The solder runs down the side of the pipe work are an indictor of the workmanship. Pure lazyness
We had new coffeemachines (50 or 100) at work that started leaking milkpowder after a few days, so the companies mechanic came and started fixing them by replacing a unit.Ah, it's nice to see a fellow member of the Leftover Parts Club. I suspect that a lot of us are members, whether we admit it or not. I'm OCD enough that if I find a leftover part, I can't rest until I tear everything down again and install it in its rightful place. A couple of weeks ago, I overhauled the carb of my portable generator. After I got it all back together and reinstalled on the engine, I walked back into the shop and spotted two small O-rings lying on the bench where I had been working, which prompted a string of oaths as I brought the generator back into the shop and started tearing the carb off. About that time, spouse walked in and said that she had been cleaning out the kitchen 'junk' drawer and found a couple of O-rings, which she brought out to the shop and placed on the work bench.
BTW, the generator runs great, and it came in handy during our recent power outage.
And I can't see any problem with that at all. Take a short cut, make a mistake, slide off the roof, do serious damage, rest of life in pain or worse, dead . . . I would ask my partner's dad, but he's dead . . . from a H&S failure . . .
How many of those do you own ?
and polishing the stainless spokes. Some of the nipples were a bit hit and miss out of the plating solution, but I'll live with that and keep an eye on them. Had the rims powdercoated and painted the hubs myself. Trying to get a local firm to anodise the rims was again impossible......anyway they look a bit more presentable now 
Can you let me know how you got on with the powder coating for tyre fitting and putting the nipples in. I'm thinking of getting the XTs done sometime........fixed the grotty wheels on my Africa twin. They suffered from poor quality anodising, and rusty spokes and nipples from the factory by all accounts. Found the spokes on mine were stainless, which Honda introduced as a recall measure, but trying to source replacement nipples either OEM or aftermarket, was impossible. All the aftermarket wheel building suppliers will sell you a set of spokes and nipples, which are not compatible. So I ended up cleaning and polishing, and home plating every single one

Never had any issues with this and other wheels I've had done over the years.
