Hmm, time for a rethink!

I don't think sand & cement can handle the "delicate" nature of the power output of Dave.

This is after a 10 second run .....

Think i'm going to be recementing it and drilling in a few lengths of threadbar. Gah, nearly there

Need to consider sorting the exhaust too ...

Yup, time to remix and reattach the top blocks. Trolley jack up the kit, hack off the old stuff and rework it. Got an 18" 10mm bit here so i'll drill down through, fill the holes with cement and slap some threadbar into the holes to straighten things up. I used some resin stuff in the past to make a secure fixing into a wall but i don't know where i put it

whats it powering?

Nothing yet, but it's going to be supply hot water for a rudimentary central heating system, and electricity to cover the bulk of the flats power requirements.

Does it smell like a chip pan?

It will once the twin tank system is in place

A social club on one side who like to keep us awake late at weekends (only fair to return the favour

) and everybody else sould hardly hear it with the soundproofing i've put into the shed.

erm plasticiser and more actual cement from the look of that (damping the bricks can sometimes help too). Or use engineering bricks and rebar.

It did get the "hammer and boot" test to check everything was secure, think i need a bigger hammer!
