COLD DARK ROOM

It STILL cracks me up that your male tortoise is named Lola... ( said the woman whose female mud turtle is named Jacques!) [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

Don`t you know Lola`s song ???
Here it is:

Oh dear. And come to think of it Cathy as well.

And Yvonne!
Don't forget Yvonne, people!
And Noel, though she's not usually about in the summer.

I bought it to work on in my retirement,
I don't retire until August 31st. And I've nearly finished it already.

Good luck for both: Your car and your retirement.
Does retirement means you will have more time for us, for the CDR ?

Does anyone else find the size of these dandelion leaves impressive..

Tidgy's eyes are out on stalks!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sending happy vibes your way! I hope this passes soon. We miss your presence around here!!

Hi, Kathy!
Hope you are having a wonderful spring and your family and torts are all well.

Hello, Lyn, lovely to see you back.
You have lots to catch up on, but i'm sure you will be brought up to speed by the Roommates.
I am taking one of my little breaks from the forum but shall return shortly, one supposes.
I hope Lola has been enjoying your wonderful bank holiday weather.
Thunderstorms and rain here.
Your last message was the day before I returned to the Cold Dark Room last year, so I hope i didn't scare you off.
Take care and hope to speak soon.
Love,
Adam .

Hi Adam. Nice to see you, even if it is only for a thread. Missing you and Hope to see you soon again.

Just poppin' in to say it is good to see you back online Adam. I noticed I hadn't seen you for a while and was worried something was wrong with you. Now I know you are ok!

Have a nice one every one... Be gentle with the hedgehogs. Bye bye

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Sounds like a WONDERFUL nature preserve!!![emoji173]️

Hi, Mooz!
Hope that Jasques is eating again now.
Send my love to her, Lola and hubby.
Love to you too, of course!

Hello, Sabine!
Saw a picture of you looking very happy by your Opel.
Lovely.

Hello Adam. I was happy indeed.
Yes, the car is lovely ....

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Linda has done just that and it was very helpful.
Sorry.
I just don't feel like my old self and don't come around as often.
Besides, I very seldom have anything to share that's of any interest.

Not true!
Your posts are always fun.
Your dry humour is a delight.

Hi Dan, I found some pics on google of my device. Thanks I really appreciate your help. The instruction manual that came with it is terrible. But I also think that I might need to get one of those multiple connection points. Something like this maybe.

or this:

This is what the picture on the thermostat looks like:

I have the white wiring which was connected to the power plug coonected to no. 3 and 4. Then the sensor wiring connected to no. 5 and 6. And then the CHE wire (I had to cut off the two prong plug and then take the Blue wire and connect it to No 1 and the brown wire to no. 2 (on my device no 1 is marked as L and no. 2 is marked as N) Then I took another piece of white wire and connected from no. 3 to 1 and from 4 to 2. This had the CHE coming on and heating up, but then it kept on tripping my plugs. So I am not sure if it was because I connected it wrong or if it was using to much power. Should I get another blue and brown wire and connect them to no. 2 to 4 (Brown) and then 1 to 3 (Blue wiring)?

The Website has the following info on it, I hope you can understand it:

When I tried to change the differential to 01.00 instead of the factory setting of 05.00 that is when it started tripping my plug. The reason why I tried changing the differntial was because when the temp reached 32C (which is what I set as max - it carried on climbing past it.) I set the Min at 27C

I hope this all makes sense to you.

Again - thank you, thank you, thank you for your help. Sorry for the long post!

Sorry that's a bit confusing. Lol

What exactly do the white cords run too? Are they going to a plug in the wall?

I found this and it looks right to me.



This is yours.


#1 is your power going in from the wall.
#2 is you hot wire (your brown wire) for the CHE.
#3 is where the bridge from #1 to #3 should go. (You can use white wire if you want just know it's hot)
#4 should be the two neutral wires.

What I am confused about is what your two white wires are.if the do go to a plug you will need to know which is hot and which is the neutral.

Hello, Yvonne!
Thanks again for the street sign.
It's still on the sofa at the moment, not decided where best to put it yet.

Yay, Adam is here for a while I hope. Is that Tidgy in the pic or Splat?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You are sweet for introducing us
I hope that your recovery is going ok

Hello, and a most welcomey welcome welcoming to you.
Has the One-Legged Pirate been being nice to you?
And the Roommates?
Fancy a coffee?
I'll be bringing lots of cheese soon, but it may be a month or three.

I am back from my PTSD session. I am nowhere near as exhausted as I was last week. Old memories are already becoming just that rather than stuff I stress about.

He wants to take me into pain management and looking forward on the next session

Glad it went well.
That in itself will help!

 

[Bee62]

Hi and by to everyone here.
Have a big to do list waiting for me.
Love you all.

You are an absolute STAR. I could kiss you right now. I will go to the hardware store and get wiring just like in your picture and then wire it exactly like that. The white was going to the plug - electrical power. But totally wrong. But I think that I would rather get wiring exactly as in the pic and do it that way. Then it should be right. I am so Happy right now. Did I say I could Kiss you?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hi Adam!! So glad you you popped in!!

Thank you!
Though will be popping out again shortly.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I don’t have anything interesting to share either. I read to catch up and say hello. I’m kind of invisible.

I would love to see your new pond you finished a while ago. How’s it doing?

I love the stories of the football games and your photos, holidays, tales of your weight watchers and so on.
Not invisible at all, Kathy!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

You're very welcome, Adam. I have a terrible time choosing gifts, but when I saw that, it just fit!!

Perfect!

Hi, Linda!
Hope everything goes well today!
Love from Adam, Tidgy and wifey.

Don't forget about Splat!!!
