Love what you're doing to the place ..... I really like the LED idea with the humidity meter connected .... green for jungle climate, blue for dry frost ... haha! Love it!
The Klein thing is a rip-off Krone punch-down tool for the network terminals. Looks like it's all coming along nicely!
Yup, and far better than using a jewellers screwdriver!
Wow, they really really don't look like rugged electrical tools, almost like a weaving thing. Thanks for the info.
@@IanScottJohnston I used to use two screwdrivers as you want even pressure both sides of the terminal. Or small round nose pliers.
@@TheEmbeddedHobbyist ahhhhh, the advanced method. I never got to that level....:)
I'd call it an Inserter 2a, if I remember correctly.
3:23 I love finding random notes on a wall :D
Had I not known what the network punch tool was...I'd have thought it was a sonic screwdriver....
honest wouldn't be out of place in a sewing kit.
Make sure you take some photos as you finish each room... it will be a nice remembrance of how it went from trash to treasure.
great
those kinetic switches are rather nifty
Have you see sdg electronics recent videos on making epoxy potted led night lights with glow in the dark pigments in ? Because I can kind of see your cellar as a good application for this.
I didn't, he is a clever dude. I'll take a look.
@0:10 I'm wearing the shame shirt lol.
I guess sooner or later energy will become the next big thing. Here we try to move to Solar Power from the roof and every spot useable for that by using those 7 year old modules you can get for cheap and rated about 250W which you can get for 40€ or less. The most expensive part is the construction on the roof cause aluminium prices have doubled since last year.
And then the next big thing once you got enough power is to get high efficient heatpumps that you can build in yourself.
They do heat and can cool too, split units with an outer unit for highest efficieny: 1 kWh of energy will create 5 kWh of heat
And used solar power modules are a cheap way to replace an oil or gas central heating at least here and for now.
Depends of cause how cheap you could get oil cause we still have a full tank of cheap corona oil for 0,30 GBP a liter but those 6000 liter will vanish over time or better winter.
Good progress and I hope you checked the plaster videos on youtube how easy that can be done without much risks.
I did consider a heat pump, the quote was around 12k... Let's just say that would be outside of the realms of affordability. I did like the idea though, despite the warnings I have seen on the internet. Solar is something I would like to get into, the house is north to south oriented. But I am mostly skint now, so it will have to wait for a while. I'll definitely get some 12v solar on the go at some point, just need to figure out where to buy reliable ones and how to mount them in the garden.
@@DavidWatts A heat pump would likely have been unsuitable anyway. The construction of the house would have meant it would have never got up to temperature.
Yeah, that was one of the warnings, the level of insulation needed would be very difficult to implement.
@@DavidWatts Here it is used in a not insulated late 60s house. No insulation at all except bricks and dry wall inside.
The split heatpump and AC does only work efficiently if you have enough solar power or cheap electricity and if you use decentralised ones, so each room that is used and heated quite often gets one for about 500 GBP I guess or 600€.
They do work with 1 kWh in and 5 kWh of heat out here in northern germany which means north of London.
The water heating is also done by another heatpump. These are renovated housed but all depends on your solar power, electricity prices and diesel / gas prices for the central heating you have now I guess.
And here the government has started programs to give one grants who insulated his house to lower CO2 emissions back 10 years ago and that will now increase again.
Do not forget to think about such insulation possibilities. Saves a lot. Therefore this is our next big step to put ouside a thick insulation in front of the brick walls.
But the number 1 thing to check requires a thermal camera you can lend just to get thermal images and find the biggest leaks where heat can get out. And then fix those leaks first on those rooms you will heat the most. Most likely these are spot close to the window but I guess you will find surprises too, holes you had not recogniced. We did that 12 years ago when we started to renovate my parents house. The weakest spots for us were the roller shutter entries people did not care about 1970.
It's a punch down tool to install ethernet and phone line

Hello David. It has been a long time since I've seen one of your videos. So you moved then? Did you use to live in London? Still there? Or different town?
Not London, a far less important place. I couldn't afford to buy even a run down post box somewhere big. Midlands is where I live.
@@DavidWatts Oh. hehehe. A coworker moved to the London area to work. She and her husband found jobs. But 2 years later they came back and said they couldn't afford it. And, here in the Washington DC area it isn't cheap either.
