  1. Stick to ripping furniture images off the internet and claiming they’re your own work. At least you’re good at if nothing else, Leslie.
  2. And you’re a [emoji533] in everyone else’s. [emoji23]
  3. I dont really have an issue with that if correctly regulated. What we have now is a top heavy, not fit for propose bludgeoning behemoth that demands more and more money be thrown at it each year with diminishing returns. Something drastic needs to be implemented and as long as its int he governments, or the NHS hands its simply not gonna happen. But yeh, lets blame Brexit. 🙄
  4. Let us know how you get on and take some pics! I really want one too.
  5. Stubbys main hobby is annoying people on the internet. Personally Im far to busy for that caper.
  6. A BJ this week would be great. But most likely it will be the new year.
  7. Cant argue with that!
  8. Unlike you Leslie I’ll freely admit it when I’m wrong. In this instance I don’t believe I am. Just spoke with another older Norwegian and he said when he built his house in 1990 it was was this law was being phased out. He built his house (250sq/m) just after the date change and had issues not putting a stove in because not everyone was up to date. Just like Lars Mitting it seems. I knew it was not law anyway since I’ve been involved with two house builds in Norway and neither needed a Stove installed.
  9. Interesting. I’m on an Norwegian Oil and Gas Platform and just asked two different Norgies. Both looked at me like I was crazy. One says it might have been a law at some point in the past but not now. I’ll ask some others and see what they say.
  10. Maybe the two other guys who live in Norway could add input here as well. From having lived in Norway and have mates who have built houses in Norway within the last 5 years I can assure you they did not need an alternative heating source. The house I rented in Norway just had electric heating. The house I bought in Norway just had electric heating. Im gonna take a whimsical books comment with a big full of salt because it sure does not tally up with what I’ve actually seen and lived. I don’t remember reading that passage myself and I’m sure it would have stood out if I had. Perhaps it’s a kommuner thing? Parts of Norway that get severe weather might have local legislation? It certainly is not in Rogaland where I lived.
  11. I have the same book. I don’t recall reading that? Could you post a pic of that up? When I bought my house in Norway there was only electric heaters in the house. Same as many people I know. Most new houses are so well insulated that it’s next to impossible to run a stove and keep the windows closed. The new builds next to the house I sold, detached 3 story dwellings, do not have stoves fitted as standard.
  12. Oi!
  13. Supposedly Norwegian Law says we should 🤣
  14. I’m working off of Norway just now. It’s wild out there. Currently 2 knots off of being stopped from working outside at all. This is the swell coming up to the lowest level of the Rig, sea level is 26m below.
  15. First I’ve heard of the law requiring you to have a Wood Stove. I’ll have to tell my Norwegian friends who only have electricity. 🤣
  16. Well every cloud has a silver lining.
  17. Did I say it was new? Id not want their job either. That does not mean that positions like this does not attract low educated, judgmental people who get off being in positions of power. I have an inkling what your retort will be and to perhaps preempt that I'll say that although I fully appreciate I am quite judgmental Id certainly not wish to be put in a position where my personality traits could ruin peoples lives. Social workers on the other hand seem to thrive on just that.
  18. I bought a dual bag chip extractor off of ebay for £300, each bag is 220l. Couple that with a 10-20m hose and you'd have the job done in a day. Someone in the loft with the hose. Someone at the bottom changing out bags.
  19. Awesome! Love it. Please tell me you’re not just gonna burn that as firewood now you know it’s age? Looks beautiful oak. A very talented member here made me a nest of bowls from some dry oak. Came out better than I could have expected.
  20. Not that sense. Social workers in training. Friends of friends who are. Their unfounded aloofness is baffling. But give a small person an ounce of power and it goes to their heads.
  21. Just had an email back from them. They mention they plan on holding the course in April, Im working all April so Im hoping that slips to May. This is the highlight really; Courses will cover all the necessary skills and information required to manufacture and construct a traditional timber frame building measuring 3m x 4m. Course 101 - Week 1 We will construct a traditional timber frame structure measuring 3m x 4m up to wall plate level. The cost for this course will be £500 including vat. Course 102 - Week 2 We will complete the roof structure for the structural frame completed during week 1. The cost for this course will be £500 including vat.
  22. Cheers Dave, seems like they've not had a course since the plandemic. I'll drop them an email anyway. Within driving distance for me but my old man lives in Rosyth so posible I could crash there.
