Well it went on today!... i had to wait for a circular saw for xmas lol... shaved an inch off each side and half an inch off the bottom.... hung it (it has three hinges so that was fun) with the wifes aid we got it fairly lined up but it proved to be about 2mm thicker than the old door, so i had...

yes sqirel/Morso is a well known make of solid fuel stoves. I just got it and am derusting it. Pipes comming out of it seem to be 28mm same as the old gas back boiler. I think im going to just use it as a standalone fire, easyest solution..cheers.

Ok so i hacksawed out the old lethal backboiler, lagged the inside of the cavity with concrete mix... and i might be aquireing a squirrel stove.... possibly with a backboiler. Now you can tell what i'm thinking. All the rads etc are there, pump is there. piping is there..... what does someone...

id rather use Screfix than suffer the local builders yards round here... belt of a belt sander, Jewsons said, we havent got it we wil order it but it wil take ten days and we might not be able to get them anyway... Screwfix, arived next day. Its just simpler.

ITS OUT!... what could be better for the day after Boxing day than to take out a back boiler thro a hole about a third too small to get it out properly. Anyway hose pipe on drain, water out to back garden. Took one fitting off with spanner, others wouldn't budge so i hacksawed em off and pulled...

dont start me on solicitors!.......... they are just awful and do virtulay nothing for thier money. My experience is go for one engaged by an estate agents at least they do the job all day. (we eneded up useing one form an estate agents who wasnt selling our flat or with the estate agents we...

err..personaly.. and im all for not doing things the "normal" way... i wouldnt... thinks what happens in a fire, all that dripping molten plastic raining down isnt a nice prospect! rather use the carpet as undelay/insulation between the floors of the house (if its awful and you dont want it...

North Sea oil.. i might point out at at present the Northsea is declineing the mistake of taxing the industry at this point and so makeing it uneconomic to extract the oil is damemd silly. I wont defend the present government. But i woudl point out they are less corupt than Maggie ever was...

oh..... maybe i know more than you do.... :lol:

humm were to start.... Outright corruption (arms deals tho her son in Saudi) Sold my companies i owned without asking me (privateisation, even i n Russia they did this by giving shares to those who paid bills, but we had to pay for them) Destroyed the railways and fragmented them so they...

well half the reason they let Poland in the EEC was to keep your wages down... so thats worked then. For some reason in this area (cornwall) they seem to have cornered the carpet laying market and not much else.

Well belive me i've been round the block on this one lads. Like i said capped off by first British gas bloke (which was fine i agreed for him to do it, apparently, Well he said .. i have to cap this off is that Ok..and i said yee, yee.... but what else could i say anyway.) there was some...

I hate Thatcher with a passion..... but i've always thought the sinking of the Belgrano a valid action of war... and i don't belive a recent book (written by the French Priminesters shrink) that Maggie threateend to nuke the Argentine capitol city if they didnt release the "codes " for jambing...

just what i needed to know...ta very much Paul... one question tho. I presume the chimneys either lined with flexie pipe and it will be too short for the new fire, as the back boilers set further back. Does that mean it has to be lined again with longer pipe?

Oh i could really start to rant right now.... but i wont. serfice it to say... They actually tried out and based many of their policies on the chilean Government model..(not just an opinion, they actually flew there often to "observe" and surgest things to try)... so they based some of the...

Thanks Paul... What we do as per fire depends on what i find behind it. The who set up is red tagged, so its a nono to use it apparently. Also its actually installed standing on the carpet, which all the engineers have said isn't a good thing.... we were thinking of just the cheapest gass...

well yes...i dint fink it was real.... clever tho all the sidebars link up..

thanks andy... what about the heat exchanger etc? it is after all connected to all the rads!... can i just unbolt it and drain it all?...(i presume turning off the cold water tank in the loft)

complex question... it got "capped off" by British Gass few months ago. (this is the forth "engineer" to look at the red tag and pronounce expired... But it must be said only the first one actuly looked inside it, but its dead never the less) Surfice it to say its not ever going to work again...
