What did you do in the 'workshop' today

I didn't expect my much-loved STC1000 to break, but the heating part of the thermostat failed. Result: the cooling part stayed on, struggling to keep the heat down. I spotted it before any honey was damaged.

It was a simple matter to get a new unit, fit it, and see everything working again. Finding a nice piece of kit is a bit like finding a good tradesman: the joy of seeing a job well done.

The soft start, how did you achieve that ?

You can buy soft start units on the likes of ebay these days. They just wire into the power switch. I think I crimped a few spade connectors onto the one I bought and then I was able to connect it without even cutting any wiring.
