    A quickie update on the controller.

    Getting the wires from the main cable laid in and hooked up.
    I need some nice flexible wire to lay in the individual runs that feed from the folding cover into the main box.

    Tomorrow its off to the electric supply house.

    The wire I have is suitable for fixtures and appliances, and is stranded...but is too stiff.

    The wire I have can be used to connect the bus bars to the relays, timers and such as long as it does not have to jump between the cover and the box (The hinged area)

    Once all the wires are laid in and connected the wire zips ties can be tightened up some and trimmed.
    I want some slack to be able to service things if need be.

    It is a static unit and nothing will ever shake loose or move readily...so a little slack will be fine in the zip tie loops...

    We have not watched a super bowl in years. Thought it might be fun to see the commercials. Kept our attention til just after 1/2 time. I had to clean the pellet stove pneumonia or not. I feel better after a few days of antibiotics but not an ideal thing to have to do by any means. It is what it is.

    Sorry to hear about the crud.
    The stove ash/dust is a real pain when you have a respiratory issue for sure.

    Get well soon

    Took advantage of the stove being off and gave it a cleaning, didn't feel like doing the leaf blower so just blew out the exhaust from inside. IMG_20190204_184214.jpg

    Could I get more info on this please? Always either too windy or icy or whatever to do LBT from the roof top here.

    On some Harmans,when you take stove apart for cleaning,there is a cover over the combustion blower,called a manifold.His is removed,in this picture.What you see is his vacuum cleaner shoved into the rectangular port,which is the exhaust port.A good/big shop vac,on "blow" mode does the same thing,in the pipe,as a leaf blower.Not a lot of stoves can you do this.

    Actually pretty normal,but stupid cali has not fixed or upgraded their reservoirs,yet taking in even more illegals,hence more water usage.Oh well,some things never change.We are still "light" on snow pack,but feb just started.

    Dont know about the Accentra but the P series has the ESP in this area. I do the same with a vac hose but remove the ESP first
