General Discussion Area / Re: Biomass boilers

« on: Today at 16:40:22 »

No direct experience myself, but a friend rented a farmhouse out in the sticks which had just had one fitted a few years ago and she said they were going through wood and pellets like they were going out of fashion. 

A couple of years ago I considered having a wood burner with a back boiler to run the radiators, but after some investigation decided that I'd be spending more on wood than gas as you have to have burning really well to heat the water, so never bothered.

I'm sure there are plenty of YouTube vids about biomass boilers giving the pros and cons. 

Have you thought about an air source heat pump? 

I tend to think it is best to give them a wide berth. They seem compromised much of the time.

Who on here as any experience of these?

Looks like our old oil boiler from 1999 is pretty shot, so not worth throwing good money after bad in order to get it to limp on for another couple of years.

We have a plentiful supply of wood, so commercial wood pellets for the biomass boiler would not be required. This would help with running costs.

Also, I believe there is a £5000 government grant available.

....and all I get is socks.

You may need to supply a WARNING for older member, Skruntie. As too much excitement could finish them off.
 

The other collection I saw might might raise the blood pressure and cause a few issues for some, but sadly being topless they wont be getting posted.

Do it.

Title of thread changed appropriately

Fake tits just don't do it for me. They don't move in a natural way.

Perhaps Skruntie can post tits created by the big man upstairs, rather than ICI.

Thought about but just not hungry at the moment.

A warm bed filled with a warm 22 year old Scandi girl will see you right, Skruntie.

PS....Where are the Christmas tits you are so famous for?

Am booked into hospital for a camera down my neck in the morning because doctor has concerns from a chat we had, was booked in at 8am,  so whilst on the phone to ask about something to them and it seems they had changed my appointment and no one has bothered telling me.

Not nice, Skruntie. I've endured two such procedures of this type. The gag reflex is hard to ignore.

No sedation for me.

Could be worse Skruntie. Could have been up your Chinese eye or the other side.    Joking aside, hope it all turns out well for you. 

Had the camera up the trouser snake a few years ago.

Yes, but that wasn't a medical procedure, that was a trip to Thailand....

Yes.....Old Tigger needs to be sure he can tell the difference between 'the two different types of lady' in Thailand.

Old school player, not like the overacting pansies we see nowadays.

....and overpaid.

£300,000 a week for  kicking a ball around on a piece of muddy grass seems excessive.

Ah well.

The fencers who came yesterday morning and took down my side gate and 6ft panel down the side of my house which was knackered. Then the delivery of the new stuff was late so he said he'd go and have look at another job and come back and finish after lunch.

The new stuff came, and then the fencer phoned and said he'd now be coming back in the morning at 7.30am. It was absolutely lashing down at 7.30am and he didn't come which wasn't surprising, but haven't seen him yet and he's not answering my calls FFS. 

British builders, backbone of the country.

How to become a builder?

F*uck about at school and leave with no qualifications. Then buy a knackered flatbed and you suddenly become an expert in roofing, guttering, tree cutting, drains, fencing, driveway cleaning and laying.

Effing freezer packed up overnight - contents ruined.

Ours is covered on the home insurance, but with an excess of £250 I'd have to have an awful lot of food in there to make it pay

£500 excess, so no chance of a claim.

Unless it's full of Wagu steaks. 

I would like to try one to see if it is worth the hype, and the money.
