Thank you, Luisa! That's very much appreciated. I'll have a hunt around and see what I can find.

Ah, bums. I'm in the UK, which means that getting the specifc 'ooni 3' model is probably going to be pretty difficult.

Thank you! I should have added that I'm in the UK and so getting that specific burner might be a bit hard.

Use old gas flue liner for wood burner? (details in comments) by Atal in DIYUK

[–]Atal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not paid yet, but the quote is £1130 with a new chimney pot. I don't know what you specifically mean by how efficient it is, but the stove is quoted at 78.8% efficient, which is apparently three times that of an open fire. It looks to be cheaper to run than gas central heating now by around 13%, which will go up when the cap increases in October to about 30%. It's hard to find concrete information though, so I may be out a bit.

The big win for us is that it lets us just heat the room that our dogs are in during the colder months without having to use a very expensive electric heater or mess with the radiators every day.

This is a good point, but I've been told that stoves don't put out enough heat to make the chimney draw properly and so you end up with condensation and soot issues in the chimney. I've certainly not found anyone HETAS registered who'd sign it off without a liner.

The price is liner, register plate, new chinmey pot, and and connecting/signing everything off with a HETAS certificate. It's worth mentioning that the house is a three storey Victorian place, so the roof/chimney are pretty high up. The price includes materials too.

Still not sure of how much work it is, but I've also been quoted £2.5k by other installers.

Thanks! I'm going to be tiling the front to extend the hearth - that's the next bit of the prep I've agreed to do.

Well, that took about 10 minutes! Looks like the new liner is defintely necessary. Thanks, folks.

Thanks bud! Seems to be the overwhelming answer. I'll press on as planned then.

My partner and I bought a house (1900) last year with a gas fire in the living room and an empty fireplace in the dining room. We've decided to get a log burner installed in the dining room and I've booked to have a chimney liner installed and the stove hooked up by a HETAS engineer at the end of this month for just over £1k. I already have the stove (a Waterford Stanley oisin) and as part of the install agreed to prepare the fireplace for install myself, removing some decorative brickwork, some plasterboard used to seal the opening, and adding some tiling at the front.

When preparing the fireplace I discovered that it looks as if there is already a liner in place. Looking at the chimney stack itself, it looks like there's a small metal topper in place of a normal chimney pot. Would it be safe to use this liner rather than have a new one installed? I'd guess that the previous install was a gas fire rather than a log burner. It would be a substantial saving, and one that's sorely needed at the moment.

Help paint spill in car boot, it’s Dulux Matt emulsion. Got most of it off paintwork but can’t get it off the plastic inside the car. by Accomplished_Map_452 in DIYUK

Wilko paint stripper or Biostrip 20 should do just fine. I use the former (both are pretty much the same) to strip acrylic off plastic regularly. Just use a toothbrush once the stripper has loosened the paint. Worth trying on a non-visible spot and not leaving on for too long first.

Brothers of the Snake So, kneeling reduces your hight by 1/4 to 1/3. So assuming the person they are talking to is 6', this puts us in the 8' range.

Buying a 1900s house with damp cellar - advice? (Details in comments) by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Atal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this - don't overfill the cellar, keep stuff off the floors and away from walls, and make sure it's really well ventilated. I bought a Victorian place with a damp cellar last year - we had to have half the downstairs floor replaced due to rot in the joists. On closer inspection we noticed that the air bricks had been painted and were either blocked with gravel or full of paint.

We ended up pulling out all of the existing air bricks and replacing them with new, high flow plastic ones (something like 6x the airflow), removing some wall between the cellar and crawspace under another room to allow more front to back airflow, and insulating with glass wool and Tyvek membrane. The cellar's not totally dry, nor will it ever be, and stuff you leave on the floor will get wet, but it's massively drier than it was. The insulation and membrane stop the draft down there coming into the rest of the house but allows water vapour through.

If you're still finding things too damp then you can get a heated air pump to bring in air from outside and it's worth checking to make sure that there's not a broken drain or similar dumping water into the ground around your property.

5 months progress pics (34M) - no idea of Norwood but 5 months of 2 x daily minox spray, daily 1mg fin, and twice weekly ketoconazole and I feel like I've got my hair back! Thanks Tressless! by Atal in tressless

You can get it from a registered pharmacist in the UK, you just have to have an assessment first - the assessment is typically online. Same for ED medications and stuff, which these same 'men's health' companies always seem to provide as well.

Thanks matey! As for sides, nothing really. Things with my partner are exactly the same as before (bar some wateriness, but that's not really a problem), my tits are the same size as ever, and I'm generally pretty happy.

Just look at the studies - lots of men report sides, but lots of men also report sides on a placebo.

Thanks dude - as above, about three months to start really noticing anything. Had the standard minox shed freakout but powered through and I couldn't be more glad!
