  1. That's what a room seal kit does, provides fresh air to the fire without going through the room. And only seal it if you have a room seal kit fitted!.
  2. Get the installer to fit a room seal kit, if Stovax do one, so you can seal up the old gas fire vent. Plus get them to check the flue with a camera, any decent sweep has one. The draw might be a bit poor on a bungalow, but that's for the installer to check and suggest.
  3. Haha, the makes more sense 🙂. I thought it was bog standard from WP and couldn't get the numbers to work in my mind as I've a single cylinder silent pack, 2000rpm gets around 30lpm.
  4. Definitely saw you coming, even with my fag pack maths, it'd be cheaper buying in seasoned logs. At a generous 6m2 for 300 plus handyman costs, 3 days I'm guessing as it needs double ringing and then splitting. That's £900 of hard work for £600 of unusable and sopping wet firewood. Maybe willow or poplar looking at the bark.
  5. Doesn't show the idiot letting go of the handle and blade spinning like a whisk!.
  6. There's a few on eBay, stick to a brand name tho. There's a Kwikchip at 2.8k, working but with broken stress control. Posch/bearcat and Wessex sub 1.5k, they're more shredders tho, but anything is better than burning. Been there and hated every minute, until I got a TP150. Plus you get immediate results, roll in chop, chip and it's like you were never there 🙂.
  7. You're average fray bentos customer would just write pie in crayon.
  8. Aren't they both little 3,000rpm engines with the same hi/low pump as the petrol?. Unless they had the common sense to just fit a constant output pump.
  9. The rule is only the tip and just for a minute.
  10. That woodpecker or squirrel is certainly getting a surprise
  11. Hands off my firewood you pervert!.
  12. Cliff Richard very questionable, Blackadder definitely a deal breaker and a blue ball breaker.
  13. In Google you press the centre icon on the right side of the screen. It does have a habit of staying wherever you were looking at last until you do it or search for a new destination and it gets your real time location to calculate. I loaded it up last month and it still thought I was in the suburbs of Stockholm, took a few seconds for my sleep deprived mind to click centre map.
  14. You're allowed to find the majority of Monty Python questionable, but only the TV series.
  15. Seeing as you're calling it a 6 lane highway, I'll assume it's America, me thinks grey squirrels.
  16. White WA just sounds like a discount wrestling organisation.
  17. I'm a sole trader with just me and I get asked the slavery question that and are you paying the national minimum wage. Sometimes wonder if I should just answer no I'm not paying myself the minimum wage and I'm a slave.
  18. Would a cheapy from Decathlon or Go Outdoors for £35 be good enough?.

    Mince pies

    Can't believe nobody has said Greggs, atleast they're cooked or made in the shop and don't just taste of sugary sweetness.
  20. Considering I know a friend who had a bell put on a sack truck in a warehouse, nothing surprises me anymore.

    Cord wood

    If you throw chum in the water you're bound to attract sharks, well that what I learnt from watching Jaws
  22. Also check the little rubber mounts between the fuel tank and the upper carb.
  23. If it's Africa they have pointed towards vitamin D deficiency which is due to lack of sunlight. Obviously not a real concern in Africa, purely speculative as I spend far too much time outdoors and had COVID months before it kicked off. Supposedly there's also a deficiency in places like Dubai due to staying inside as it's too hot.
  24. You're sure it's not bears on grinder?. Yeah, yeah any port in a storm, I've heard all the excuses.
