Re: Hard times
Winter has arrived!
Not that there's a lot of the whie stuff - but November's VERY early for here. An improv a day keeps the demons at bay!
Re: Hard times
Not to make you guys feel too bad but.... sunshine and 60 deg F here in Tennessee.
Great job on the renovation, Gerd... the fireplace looks beautiful and inviting.... and that back wall... WOW.. beautiful work.

Re: Hard times
Hard times again - that beautiful da~##*@@!#mn oven contaminated my living room (where my guitars and PC are) totally with flue gas.
Look like I'm very sensitive to this sort of smoke (never been a smoker, too). I have to wait until it's gone, then I have to analyze why the air comes through the chimney into the room and not the other way around - it's really blowing into the oven (although the chimney-sweeper checked and calculated and everything is OK, one the paper).
So - no recording possible.

Woah! that is too bad! I hope that you get it sorted out soon.
Meanwhile, winter is finally starting to happen here too... Yesterday was a good day for a nice fire in the studio and a soak in the hot tub.

Good luck with getting it all sorted soon.

Re: Hard times
Last week over here in Holland it was so cold that the farmers where milking Ice cream right from the cows. I hear a ring go to the front door and look at two polar bears asking for money to buy a extra winter coat. I hope it will starting to rain hot water tomorrow.

hope you are sorting your flue out OK ......that must be really frustrating ...especially in this weather and with Christmas around the corner.
I am no expert but it sounds like you need a different cowel or baffle on the top of the flue .....that can help get the chimney 'draw' right.
Your Chimney fella should know all about that stuff though. ( My neighbour has just had a wood stove installed and the chmney cowell is quite unusual )
Golfxzq .........is there any part of life where Bud Light does not feature ??
Great pic !! tks

Re: Hard times
Update: everything is working well, the oven is hot enough for the whole house, nice fire, no smoke EXCEPT we have eastern (= cold) wind
Eastern wind creates a small vacuum in that room, so the smoke will not take it's regular way through the chimney. It's a matter of house design/chimney position, and unless I put a ventilator into the chimney I have to live with it.
So - only fire if no eastern wind. Better than nothing at all.

Must be the Bud Light Year. That only works if you say it like you've got a cold. Heating to infinity and beyond.Strummer07 wrote:Golfxzq .........is there any part of life where Bud Light does not feature ??

Re: Hard times
That really looks homey - Christmas is coming!
We're also burried in snow. And the gulf stream seems to fail this year - it's way too cold for December.
