He won't sign work off for me !! - apparently he's got tools and overheads to payout on ! - I hate tradesmen and I am one -

Home Assistant is really good for heat controls though - its saving me a fortune on auto house battery charging when the car is plugged in.

we should have a sub-forum for it - would be good

Obtained a spare IBC tank from the neighbour - decided to make a weather cover for the A2A compressor out of it for when its not in use, given the abrasive air down here.
Unable to build a permament roof covering as access past A2A is a little tight and i dont want to end up visiting the Koi when squeezing past, so simple lightweight removable cover is just the job.

Remnants made into an over wintering tortoise table, complete with repurposed solar roof bracket to hold up the heat light. Uses quite a bit of power over the winter does Turbo, our tortoise, so a little ironic he's at least partly, assisted by a solar product.

Think i need to get out more often !
