The sweep says it could be the coal or the sheer amount of rain in the last few years. Going to get a rain cap fitted in the summer,see if that improves the tar/creosote build up in the chimney.😁 Cannie beat a coal fire 🥵🥵😎 I do mine once every spring, doesn't take me long. As it's a multi fuel stove amd is only used in the colder months, I generally don't get a lot of soot coming off. Now and again, I put a few logs on it. The extra blast of heat stops the build up of creosote inside the flu. 35 minutes ago, henrysmithsgloves said: Ps , I've noticed a fair increase in log burners getting installed. I have the benefit of a dual fuel charnwood with a back boiler fitted so it heats radiators as well as piping hot water,no dampness in my house 😁 plus it's economical to run. Ours is an add on, only fitted itn8 years ago, so no back boiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofs at a very narrow pitch so easy to walk on. But yeah, the heat is brilliant. Initially hate being to warm, but there's something about the heat from the stove. Like my cats, I love it. And helps dispose ofnised tissues quickly as well so the wife doesn't find them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Got myself a new bike so I can have more fun annoying drivers. Also means I can hand my old one into bike station so they can recycle (pun intended) to sell it on to someone that can’t afford a new bike.

The idea was originally to stop the US Navy’s radio signals from being jammed by their enemy in World War 2. So, not quite inventing WiFi (that was an Aussie scientist in the 1990s), but she was involved in a brilliant invention in itself.

superjack Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Over the past few years I was getting more and more pissed off with my job. Had a manager who was just like a paisley version of del boy, but at least del boy was likeable. He left just over a year ago so I thought I would just stick my job out. The new boss is sound, I worked closely with him before he got the senior managers job. I recently seen a job advert online and I was curious, it looked OK when I first read about it, so I applied. There was 1 stumbling block at the interview, the wage they were offering was quite a bit lower than what I'm on. I was up front with them from the start. Turns out my honesty was a good thing, I went in to see the general manager on Saturday and not only was I offered the job, they are willing to match the wage I'm on. I'm quite excited about this, so's the wife, and all my mates wives as they'll be after freebies! Finish current job on 24th May, the day before wr win the cup final, and start the new job in June. I always assumed that when I left my current job, it would be me leaving because I was getting pissed off again and just accepting any job. Never once thought that at 50 I would still be applying for jobs at this level (senior management), let alone getting 1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
