Looks really good. You may need a separate thread for all this, others may miss it in here.

Ruddy heck! It's like ALMA...
Looking like a top job Mr H 
That’s OK, I’m really writing it up because I can’t brew at the moment (and some people might be interested I guess).
If you need a few pops H...
Today’s exciting instalment...
Virtually completed all the the electrics (1 mcb didn’t arrive today so that’s a small job for tomorrow). Installed the coolant pipes, signal wires, and power lines for the fans attached to the heat exchangers. Fitted the insect screen to the air inlet and the Expelair as the hot air exhaust.
Good days graft.
Coolant pipes and signal wires
Control panel in and working (electrically, the chiller, motorised valves, and heat exchangers are not installed yet).
The next job will be to fit the insulation which arrives on Friday.

Looks great H!
It has! I haven’t managed to slow down yet. Takes a bit of getting used to I guess.
Not much happening in the brew-shed today because I’m waiting on the delivery of insulation (due tomorrow). I did move my consumer unit because it wasn’t centred on the wall and I wired up the ITC that turns on the Expelair fan to vent hot air in the chiller cabinet.
Because I wasn’t busy today I found myself thinking (I’ve had to have a word with myself about that before!). I got to wondering if I should connect up my King Kegs to a CO2 bottle and fitted out this cap to give it a try. What could possibly go wrong? 
Everybody's doing it!
What type of bottle you thinking of? A Hambleton type S30,or a corny type? Can the pin type valves be converted by removing the pin?Because I wasn’t busy today I found myself thinking (I’ve had to have a word with myself about that before!).

Not everyone - just those mad enough to either not see or laugh in the face of danger!
(and those that have carefully weighed up the risks, built in contingencies, already have an emergency plan for disasters, and increased their life-insurance cover!).
A regular 6Kg CO2 bottle chained to the wall, also used for corny kegs.
Ooo! Sounds more than interesting...how will you know how much to put in?
I’ve bought a King Keg cap from Balihoo with a built in pressure monitor so I first plan to test the pressure of my existing King Kegs. Once established I can then set the pressure regulator accordingly.
