Yes mate comes 12th. The builder was ment to do that aswell but going with a mate of a mate now.

Painter has had a mare wrong colours on wrong walls getting paint colour matched in he's perferd brand of paint at £65 a tin deluxe diamond or somthing and it didn't even match.

All flooring going down the weekend also. And hopefully kids bedrooms be done by then so can get new furniture for them and get them comfortable.

Fingers crossed the bloke turns up today 🙏

When you say too late is that because they are going to ban them?

As far as I know they are just going to up the spec of them. Eco design I believe it's called. A directive to reduce emissions.

You still need to burn dry wood of course circa 20% moisture content, I hear it has gone up in price a little but not a problem if you can source your own.
Nothing like sitting beside a wood burner though, it's nearly always used in preference to our central heating.
Ours heats our domestic hot water and the surplus is pumped into our underfloor heating pipes.
I was talking to someone in the wood burner / Rayburn trade a couple of months ago and he said he has never been busier.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
