How's your Swedish?

We took delivery of the pellet boiler yesterday - it's big and very heavy! Turns out that the boiler, auger and hopper are all made in Sweden. As with a well known Swedish furniture superstore, we shouldn't have been suprised to find that there was an element of 'flat-pack' in the delivery!

Fortunately the boiler and auger were fully built in 3D, it was just the galvanised hopper that came flat-packed with a box of rivets, a rivet gun and a set of instructions. Unfortunately, and unlike the Swedish furniture, the instructions hadn't been translated from Swedish. But they did came with a reasonable number of photos, so with some of common sense and engineering know-how we managed to work out what goes where.

Now that the hopper is assembled we've left the plumbers to get on with the job of connecting up the pipework and installing the flue.
