Short of converting the guest room or office into Node 0 I really
don't have the space. The attic is the only other possibility which
brings in it's own problems.

I am probably going to end up with a somewhat distributed node 0 no
too different from what I have at the moment.

I have the LM10s and AD10s installed in the airing cupboard along
with the boiler timer (which I keep looking at as I hold this AD10
destined to control it) and alarm system (which I also want to hack
and link into the rest of the system, it is a "standard" alarm
and
quite new but I must be able to interface with it somehow). Most of
the AV equipment is in the lounge and will likely remain there using
my current Gigavideo system for distribution. The HA PC is in the
office until I get around to builing the one which is destined for
the airing cupboard.

If you get to go, I am sure there will be a queue for a ukha trip out
to drool with you :)

I think you are correct. I can't find the installation instructions
(just the usless two page leaflet that represents user instructions)
but having examine dthe bolier there are no vents around the casing
and merely the metal flue at the top of the unit. The base is where
all the pipework is but dampening the sound from the main casing will
probably suffice without interfering with the pipework.

Mark.
