Been having fun and games getting our boiler over ride, wish it was easier for us oldies. think we have cracked it now though, |

Our boiler is reasonably new, the control panel is much more complcated than the old one. It's taken a while but between us we've got to grips with it. They make stuff needlessly complicated, mind you it's a lot easier than the oil fired heating that we never got to work in Cornwall. Turns out even our friends have no end of trouble with that system. |

Last night we were at friends who have a coal fire -it was burning all night with the occasional logs thrown on --a very warm night indeed. |

Next door have a stove that is wood burning, they spend most of the time cleaning it out and either chopping of collecting wood. They moan about it constantly saying they wish they'd got the gas version |

rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 18:52 on 21st November 2014 There are plenty of trees here too James, it's just not the weather at the moment to be out chopping up wood, which is what our neighbour is doing as I type |

James Prescott Posts: 25952 Joined: 11th Jan 2010 Location: UK | Posted at 19:10 on 21st November 2014 My job in winter when at home was making a fire at 6am every morning before the rest got up--and at night bringing 3 buckets of coal in --all part of growing up.--i dont think they would do it these days. You ok now John?? |
