The woodburner is in. The installation coincided with the best weather of the year so far.
The job is far from complete, so we won’t be paying for it yet. They’ve got some making good to do where the old gas fire was removed, and they need to fit some lead flashing around the flue at the roofline (they brought the wrong size).
It sits on a nice slab of granite in the corner and looks impressive and modern. Doubtless in the winter I’ll take some photos of it in action. I will try not to wish the summer away.
At the moment I’m still mostly posting over at my photo blog, which is my new thing.
I had a moment this morning, when I paid this month’s (larger than usual) credit card bill (due to car service etc.), when I realised that I’m going on holiday this month, before pay day, and I don’t have any money left.
In other news, my teaching load is about to get very light indeed, as my year 11 and year 12 students go off for their exams. It means around 10 less teaching hours per week, which is about half of them.
very impressive! ironically hot May, however.
Indeed, but these people are always less busy in the summer. It’s the best time to buy logs, too. Doubtless it’ll be perishing cold in August.
