New log fire

[Bob Rolfe]

right we are finally taking the plunge and getting a log fire... its took a while ive bee cutting trees for a good 16 yrs and ive been thinking of it for a while and its took me half that time to convince my other half that its the way forward

 

heres the beast

 

 

think we are going to have to sell one of the kids to the Polish travellers but i think it may be worth it in the end and the kids like to travel so its quids in all round lol

 

...need a log splitter now or may be ill buy the kids back and get them a brand new axe to play with.....

[Bob Rolfe]

the door at the front slides straight up behind the wall and it flips down toward you to clean it... but i hope thats not gonna be my job im on splitting duty lol

cold ash from the stove is best to use to clean glass, just rub it in and rub off..........

[Bob Rolfe]

Give me a shout if you want a log delivery Bob.

 

Nice looking fire.

What the "housewives" do here in Norway is take a crumpled-up piece of newspaper, dampen it slightly with water, dip it into the cold ashes, then use it to clean the glass.

 

Extremely effective and (of course) environmentally friendly (sorry Gif, or Gip, or whatever it'scalled........)

HI all,

 

It's Bob's wife, thanking you all for all the tips on how to clean a log fire. When ours is fitted Bob will be in a good position now to make a good clean job of cleaning the fire lol

[Mark Bolam]

that may be the case but when my lovely wife starts with the axe on log and her soft hands get segs and blisters she may change her mind kinda sharpish lol
