log burner, its the future

[ips]

just finished installing a log burner. Bloody brilliant, room is flipping boiling. Was quoted £3k for full install, did it myself for £1.3k.

excuse the state of the wall we are artexing it at weekend.

eze has found a new spot on MY side of recliner next to the fire.

The flue looks a bit on the piss.

Can you legally install a log burner yourself? I was going to put one in last winter but was advised it need to be installed by a "professional" and signed off.

Artex.. isn't that like admitting to like Burgundy and Semi Auto's. Really surprised  it"s not on one of your lists.

We are slowly eradicating all traces.

ARTEX Ian!...............I spent the 80's putting this sh*t on ceilings (and some walls) with my dear Dad. He was 6' 7" and brushing it on, I followed behind on a Corona crate with me stipple brush.

Dads now gone and I'm on me own skimming em with Multifinish!

Do your dog's eyes always glow in the dark like that? Does the installation of a log burner automatically confer this superpower on domestic animals?

We burn two wood stoves down here in France a cooker in the kitchen chucking out 10.5Kw at full whack and a lovely big stove in the lounge  turning out 14.5Kw when on full whack! I will burn almost any wood but the two favourites are well seasoned oak and Hornbeam called Charme down here, if you get offered some take it with both hands great burning wood, which is actually the best stuff but it burns very hot and fast so you need to control the fire well.  Can burn up to 10 cubic metres (stere)  of wood per year I buy 12 stere per year so I have a surplus it comes in metre lengths which I cut into one 500mm and two 250mm for the kitchen cooker €50 per stere.
