    Exterior painting in bad weather

    Hey guys. So I have had a painter want to paint the exterior of my house. It's been wet tonight and may rain a bit on the day he wants to come. Small bit of masonry also.

    Topping up vokera boiler

    Pressure still slowly rising. Do I disconnect this to check? (Picture attached) the groove for the screwdriver is very worn so I'm worried it may not be fully off now

    Or also, perhaps because there were leaks when I put it to 1.5 initially maybe me solving those leaks caused a jump?

    Topping up vokera boiler

    Topping up vokera boiler

    Water sprinkling out a little as I go here? Is that ok? Sorry just afraid of blowing something up haha. Still no pressure movement but maybe I'm just not giving it time. Are we talking minutes or seconds?

    Topping up vokera boiler

    Thanks so I managed to move the right one and I hear pressure/water. But no pressure gauge movement. Am I suppose to open left at same time? Also the black nozzle they are connected to is set to open. Is this correct? Many thanks folks!
