  2. The last poplar i had was free i paid for the haulage, the bloke i got it off was glad to get rid
  3. Chris you are an out and out gentleman:sneaky2: Lets hope Mrs hullsmill never gets hold of your laptop:lol:
  4. we have a monitor and that is what i would suggest but think it may alarm them. with an old boiler and flue next to our door, (12 inches or so) it never went off. thanks for your reply. with a fanned flue, and new boiler, run with LPG, the risk of CO fumes are minimal. i think its perception but i cant persuade them. with out insulting some one old emough to me my nan. and thats not my business, eh? mrs egg.

  6. thats what i like about him. not alot surprises me.
  7. could get addicted to this forum stuff. you lot are soooo slow, id have asked me for eggs deepest secrets by now. oh yeah im a woman.....
  8. thanks quip, i know some EHO's through work (sewage - we know nuisance if any one does) and hope to test this one on them, but as work as a water co we "get it" so to speak we're easy money to any authority, domestic stuff is different. i hope this is seen as trivial, they need some one they trust to alleviate their fears i think, they swear its smoke, but wont have it its only begun since the cold weather. mrs egg
  9. the boiler is in the same place, but our old flue was 12" from our back door, beside it on the wall, we had to fit a vertical flue to the new one as the current arrangement was not within current regs, so instead it goes up through the roof. we are in a bungalow, our neighbours have a dormer extn, and its nearly four metres from the flue to their nearest window. the flue looks like a chimney (better than a swan necked pipe jutting from the wall and pointing upwards we thought), but the mental idea of a "chimney" with "smoke" coming out has caught her imagination, and worried her. the regs say 2m from below a window and 600mm from beside one. theres only the nuisance thing outstanding. dont think she realises this bit but not long before she does. the old flue was out of sight out of mind to her, an old boiler dubious at best and though we serviced it it used almost double the gas the new one does so double the emissions. by the way, egg has absconded to the pub so its mrs egg here, - men! if there are typos, blame my other man Gordon, and his mate, mr shweppes. if you ask egg hed say he has a very good idea of what a nuisance is....
  10. We had a new LPG condensing boiler fitted a couple of months ago, we have got elderly neighbours who have concerns about the "smoke" coming out of the flue, this so called smoke is actually steam and is known as pluming, we have spoken to the heating engineer who fitted the new boiler and read the spec on how far the flue needs to be from any openings, the flue is almost twice the distance away than is required for current regs, but the manual says that the flue must not cause a nuisance, is steam coming out of the flue causing a nuisance ? what is "a nuisance"? Your thoughts please.
  11. Sorry chap, i have been in the chat room, then having dinner, i will pm you back
  12. Your pm box is full. Have a clear out, chap.

  14. You can make a car look older (with a private plate) but not newer, so mx03tom would have to be a 2003 or newer.
  15. Could have bought E66 log a couple of years ago, or was it E99 log!!!! still kick myself for not buying it. would have looked great as "Egg log"
  16. Yep, daffs are the same in my garden. Went out in the car at 5 o'clock this evening, 11.5 degrees. Wonder why the logs sales are slow!!!!!!!!
