Redid the plumbing, rebuilt the floor, re tiled.
Only two big jobs left to go.
Anywhere local i can get ONE of these (an American style "2-Gang Low Voltage Mounting Bracket"):
NEVER MIND
I finally fixed this and I’m delighted with myself. Still need to do a little refinement to make sure something similar doesn’t happen again but the dehumidifier can now come out of our tiny bathroom.
I got a broken cooler box off adverts for a tenner.
my theory being either i can fix it or it's still a really well insulated box and it'll do for lugging cans about the place now and again.
anywhoo I went CSI on it this evening.
the whole thing is a 12v fan, a peltier module with a heat sink either side and a little almost analog logic board.
The fan is working fine of 12v and i'm kinda assuming the module is working fine because they supposedly do.
The logic board isn't really doing fuck all, though the relay can be activated with jumpers.
I see three options.
A: Just stick a switch on it so it's either fans+module or dead.
B: build a new logic board with some arduino leftovers so it self regulates (this is kinda what it is already)
C: try and find the logic board on ebay.
Typing them out is making me biased towards A.

You know it’s rude to describe electrical components on thumped with out a guts shot.
If this was something you were just firing up on occasion I’d go with a.
The connector was gone off it when i got it, hence the new one.
There's very little too it
I'm not goin back out there today - ( i might)
So far as i can see it's got two temperature sensors chained up with a little logic board and a relay. The relay is fine so it could be a few different bits that aren't working.
The first plan is to just plug it in as is for a half hour drive and see if the logic board comes to life.

Fucking aces
Somewhat oddly put together wooden box from the 1930s of familiar significance to wife’s family restored.
It apparently was made by some uncle/cousin to hold altar stuff for an invalided aunt who couldn't leave the house to go to mass, so the priest used to call round to say mass in the house. 1930s might be over egging it in terms of age, but that's what I was told.
There's a strange mixture of relatively complicated woodwork done well (fingerjointing on the lid, complex angles on the side panels), combined with strangely sloppy work - (the diamond on the front is off center by about 10-15mm, one side is wider than the other so the whole thing is off square by 3-4mm, it was originally held together by un-countersunk screws that were showing proud of the original finish etc)

I bet it's now looking better than it did originally
I need to get a metal box big enough to store 4 chainsaws with closing lid (mouseproof essentially).
Anyone think of anything on the market that might be for something else that would do the trick?

Flight case?
an old metal water tank? the likes you'd have found in an attic?
we have one of those empty in a corner of the attic - only problem is you'd need to cut it in half to get it out (the primary reason why lazy bastard plumbers left it up there in the first place).
yep, that happens a lot of them. did the same in my last house.
friends of mine got one a few years ago, it makes a good rustic planter in their garden.

These are already two things I hadn't considered, thansk
