Sorry, yes! I have an original German version built into my car, to pre-heat it, and a CDH providing heat in my garage/workshop. The CHD can be had as cheap as £70, just needing fuel. Cheap enough to have a spare, on standby, just in case.

Were I starting from scratch, with absolutely no heating system, and a much smaller place to heat, maybe a flat, and knowing what I now know - I would be seriously looking at making use of a CDH. 8Kw of heated, blown air. with just two small holes through the wall, exhaust and combustion air...

I don't normally listen to the lyrics, rather I absorb/enjoy the 'beat' of a record. I've just read the lyrics, and yes, it could be interpreted that way.

Maybe the photo, or shadow, but it looks as if the soffit lengths have all been cut too short, and they look old? The gutter looks as if it is not straight, even has a fall to the right, rather than having a slight, but continual fall to the left, to the hopper and drain pipe. Could you climb...

Spot on, it's just a haphazard mess at the moment, no surprise that it leaks, the only surprise is that it isn't causing more problems. That chimney pot seems to just rest on bricks, with no proper flaunching. You need to get together with your neighbours, who share the stack, and agree a shared...

OR just been and removed it. I suggested he could just leave his ladder safety bolt, stuck in the wall, because needed to put my own ladder there soon, to rip the old alarm bell box down soon - instead he kindly volunteered to take the box down whilst up there.

Not around here there isn't.

Or properly enforce the limits we already have! Our through road, a bus route to the village centre, used to have none, and was nice to drive along. Now it's covered in speed bumps, potholes, and long lines of parked cars - it's a nightmare to make your way along, dodging the cars, bumps, and...

I do, my car is neatly able to straddle them.

Could cost thousands in compensation claims!

New hinges, fixed with through bolts, and nuts?

That was rather silly of you... Why couldn't you repair it yourself? Even if you couldn't do that, you could have taken the drive out, for security, before parting with it. I once bought a laptop in auction, which was one of a number of identical ones, supposedly new, surplus. On getting it...

Our FF is in a similar corner, but just installed on a taller (double height) plinth/kickboard than the rest of the kitchen units - not in a unit. Your existing FF, appears to be installed in a unit, with doors, meaning to access items in the FF you have to open the cupboard door, and the FF...

That is not pointing, and very expensive for that amount of work, even if properly done. Did she get him from a 'Checkatrade' type site?

I think HWM's answer must be the correct one - they are VDX, so absolutely fine for my general use. I initially thought they might be some special metal, SS, or similar.
