Dyson got a new toy for Christmas. This may have been a mistake. I was awoken at just after 6am by being repeatedly hit with said toy, in an effort to get me to play. Persistence is always the key to success, and I gave in after about half an hour of abuse. It is remarkable how a simple bit of rubber can give so much joy.

After a bit of playtime, breakfast, more playtime, and several cups of coffee, I made a start on re-wiring the right-hand stop jamb. Here it is, half-way complete. Each stop needs three wires, and I also had to solder a new common +12VDC to each stop. I have now completed 89 of the 140 required solder joints, but it feels like I’ve soldered twice as many. Time for lunch.
