Well nearly back to the Cobra, had a bit of a disaster on Sunday ;-)

1. Feed to cold water tank broke (old age, just perished - plastic).
2. Water came through into airing cupboard onto house alarm.
3. House alarm fused and set itself off.
4. No attempt to turn it off would work.
5. Internal siren went off warning of a fire - same system as alarm.
6. Rang ADT who said they would be out on Monday about 13:00.
7. Siren still going off, rang again, spoke to engineer said it would dry out.
8. It didn't.
9. Four hours after water leak the man arrived to shut down alarm/siren.
10. A good cup full of water came out of control box when lid removed.
11. This was 16:00 just as B&Q etc close.

At the same time.

1. The power tripped.
2. Lunch was being cooked.
3. Garage doors are electric, can't get to tools.
4. Manually opened garage, door swung up a bit quick and clobbered my bad knee.
5. Once power was back garage door won't fully close except manually.
6. Moved L200 in front of garage for the night, fanbelts/pump screeching again.
