Just in time

It’s been a very rainy day, in fact I don’t think it’s stopped since last night. Despite the drizzle, just before lunch we took delivery of our wood pellet order. When we’d ordered it last week, for delivery today, we thought we’d be fine, but the drop in temperatures had meant that our usage had risen slightly, and as the volume got lower we got some alerts from the system advising that it was not meeting the minimum fill level and that the ‘out-feeder’ was empty. A bit of encouragement though from Brian, ensuring the pellets caught in the corners of the silo were all pushed down the hopper, meant that we were able to keep things going as normal until the fill up. We would have run out in three or four days though, so maybe fill up sooner next time.
