I spoke to my stove man and apparently the opening isn't wide enough, pity. I might have to go something electric instead.

I have a timber frame house and the back boiler had these precast concrete slabs wrapped around it. I'm wonder is this 600mm opening wide enough for a wood burner? The smallest stove I see is 499 mm wide but I'd want to tile or put something on the inside of the opening. I see a tile affect...

Thank you.

Hi, I've to replace 2 fence posts. I want to paint the bottom of the100mX100 post before they go into the ground. What would you recommend tp paint them with? Thanks in advance.

Yes, your right, he will, just thought I'd ask the experts here as well. I just had the plumber in a few days ago to disconect the pipes from the back boiler. Its over to me now, when i get the time. Thanks.

Thank you, good to know. Would fire resistant board be the wrong choice then? Its just I know a person that took the job of installing his own stove and I think he is going to use fire resistance boards. Thank you for your advice.

I'm courius to know your opinion, is it fire resistance or heat resistance board thats needed for the sides and back of the opening for the stove? Thanks.
