This is starting to sound more like cooking than heating your house, DH will be out fishing and trying to shove it into the wood burner at this rate.

Or you could set yourself up as a tree...

Re: Pinging without ponging...

I would soooo be investing in a very large woodshed that they could reverse said van into. The idea of having to hoik that lot every couple of weeks in the snow would be the source of much lively...

Re: Pinging without ponging...

Why did you have wood dumped on your driveway? Was it a gift from your neighbours? What a fantastic way to get rid of teenage temper tantrums, chopping and stacking wood has multiple benefits. I...

Re: Pinging without ponging...

Ahh I am guilty on both counts, which probably explains my natural affinity with wood stoves. I cannot believe that oil is cheaper to run over there, at one point last winter we were paying 70p per...

Re: Pinging without ponging...

Are they different to the ones in the UK then, because everyone and his wife seem to be fitting them at the moment? I know they always have this huge slab that they sit on and they are all sealed up...

Re: Pinging without ponging...

Believe it or not we have got one, a 16 seater for when we are taking the dogs/surf boards/kids friends out as well. It is not much better on fuel and you want to try reversing the bugger on the...

Re: Pinging without ponging...

I thought that Vancouver had the same weather as the Uk though? I was looking forwards to the thought of winters and summers without the rain.

Re: Pinging without ponging...

That is less time than it takes my DD to get the train from Manchester to Cornwall, and looking at the latest rail hikes would probably be cheaper.

That is the sort of thing I am looking for work...
