'sup, comrades? i figured we could maybe do with a weekly DIY thread on what we're working on, inspired by the rad "Show & Tell" thread from two weeks ago.

what do you have going on, what are you working on?

Well, I was working on laying a 4in isolated flexible airpipe to go from the first floor, through an airshaft aside the chimney down to the first floor to heat the ground floor with the stove on the first.floor (our living and bed room). Bought a thermal camera to see results (and winter optimization) but nothing happened. Turned out the pipe had ruptured inside the air duct. Now have to redo the work... At least I do not have to finish it tomorrow

Finished the heating duct. Conclusion, do not move heat by air from a stove. It goes too slowly.. I was disappointed on the heat gain. If you ever want to move heat, sigh, use water for more heatcontent to be moved.

I read your projects and see much ambition. Although it cost a lot of time, keep up the good work!
