The floor should come up a little darker, it’s still very dusty - there’s still some creaks but I can’t fucking sort them!

You WILL be a bit of a scratch nazi for 6 months or so, any toy with plastic wheels, chairs dragged instead of lifted etc will make you wince. After a year or so though when more scratches and marks are evident it starts to look much better with them.

Also to repair scratches, grab a walnut and rub it into the floor, it really works and is obviously pretty safe.

They close when they should, but the microswitch in each is sticky and sometimes still calling for heat. End result is that both my bypass loop and also the bathroom circuit are acting as a shock absorber for all that heat.

So, I've ordered up 2 new Honeywell valves to replace them completely (they're currently a Danfoss and a Drayton). I've also just got the proper Honeywell 10-way junction box to rewire the lot, which is currently terminated behind a wall plate with loads of individual terminal blocks.

The job to replace all my old TRVs and lockshields with new Honeywell 10mm TRVs continues. By the time every one in the house is done, the new evohome will likely be available, so I'll pick that up later in 2019 and fit it. I'll just need a new boiler then, but I'm hoping mine will last until the extension, at which point it'll be moved from its current location to inside a kitchen cupboard.

I'd recommend one of these wiring centres instead of the Honeywell one, it’s got more space inside than the Honeywell one and has dedicated points for neutral and earth, just don’t try and use their wiring diagram as it’s baffling. Also don’t forget your links when you wire it up, everyone forgets to connect the valve neutrals and the greys to permanent live
