Progress report

Well, I haven't put anything up for some time (in fact you'd be forgiven for thinking the blog was dead) but now I have a little breathing space *deep breath*

So - I chose Idratek for the automation system. Seemed to have the best value and level of functionality for my needs. The fact that Idratek are based in Newcastle might have just swayed me a little too..

Our house is an extended 70's number which we bought before the extension was fully completed - ie. the floorboards loose, no decoration apart from copious magnolia and just generally needing some attention. Ideal for me in the fact that I could get on with the business of whacking in lots of cat5.
