Jobs??

sooty said he's doing about 60 a week at £25 a time - takes about half hour each - all pay cash and cos of the price of fuel more peeps are fitting burners so he's seeing an extra 5-6 a week

said he's also got a sideline going where he gets paid to be a "lucky sweep" at scotish weddings where he charges whatever it costs him to take his family to scotland for a weekend plus a bit for spending

he didnt have a shiney new van, but i bet he wont be working till he's 65

Is it me or have you posted the same post of Difflock too?

safety, health & environmental manager, and I am not a workplace party pooper.

best way to sweep a chimney is with a suitably sized holly bush.

ere a question - ignoring part J of the building regs if someone asked you to fit a Morso (or the like) to a sound chimney would you insist that they have a liner installed ? - seltered part internal chimney and nice n high outlet

if you got clay or ceramic liners built in posibly no need but if its a big old flue ie before 1960 i would fit a liner as stove will work much better and lessens the risk of damage to your house creosote leaking thro masonary and build up of tar causing pos chimney fire

but as long as your not burning crap in the stove (and therefore minimising the buildup of combustables) and the chimney is swept there isnt really a need for the liner ?

Sean said:

well i ended up fabricating a roof for the fireplace and sticking a black enamel 5" pipe a metre up into the chimney

before i fitted it i had a couple of "installers" round to give me a quote and to pick their brains and they both told me i deffo needed a liner, told me all sorts of scare stories about chimney fires and both quoted in excess of a grand just fer the liner

it's not upside down - unless Morso have fitted the wrong dia outlet on the back of the stove

and that's just moisture from the firebond stuff as it was going off - it's appeared about 30 seconds after it was first lit so it's not going to be condensate seeing as everything was bone dry

just that pipework should be fitted with socket up

any reason for that ? - seems to make more sense to fit it the other way round - especially seeing as that's the only way it would fit in the back of the stove, and it's a pucker Morso flue part

so that any condesate or tarring runs back into stove as fire cement joints tend to crack and leak after a while also states so in hetas guide

hmmm maybe Morso havent heard of hetas - couple of peeps up here have a simillar setup and there's are socket down as well, and one of them was fitted by a corgi bloke

there's no way it will mate correctly with the stove outlet anyways

ah well

yeah as long as it works should be ok just remember good quality fuel most important bit of using a stove and buy a co detector and fit close by

we allways tend to let it burn freely allmost untill the wood is charcol before we damp it down, that tends to get rid of any nastyness in it

cheers

ere - at wot height shud a Co2 detector be placed - every time our gas man cometh they tell us sumat diffrent?

I'd stick mine at nose level.

isnt co2 slightly heavir than o so shouldnt it be lowish ?

or have i been snorting too much argon again

therin lies the prob - one gas fitter sez "fit near to Floor" - other one says "close to boiler" (wall mounted).
