Where do we go.... what do we do...

Oct 2008 - Stove Mission 1 - Nissan Vanette.... Central France... 8 hours there and 6 hours back! To be expanded

Nov 2008 - Stove Mission 2 - Lower Normandy

Dec 2008 - Stove Mission 3 - Angouleme. The last stove hunting mission has just been completed. An intended 3 day trip turned in to a 9 dayer due to a shattered windscreen on the A28 between Le Mans and Tours. Thanks to the Excellent service provided by the N et G Coursieres Peugot garage at Luceau and the AA we "eventually" had a new screen ( Para Bris) fitted and were able to complete the hunt but over a week late and with a few cuts...

My web pages buttons have gone all weird so the site updates have been on hold. AAAAgggghhhhhh...

Jan 2009 - Nightmares. Elegance 5 grate disintegrated on me while trying to free up. The latest Villager AHI flue spigot was irrepairably damaged by builders before I got the stove and new ones cost a bomb. Also 5 of the door studs needed remedial work. The tap set I bought temporarily is made of monkey metal and is useless. It's cold and I'm sure I have chilblains :) I burn pallet wood in a stove I am restoring to keep me warm while outside!  The biggest absolute pig in this game is seized studs nuts and bolts. The trick is LOOK AFTER YOUR BURNER, people, lol.

Good News - navigation revamped with a link bar so I can now update the site and revamp it :o)

Off to France to get the 4 or 5 burners in storage over there.

Five burners retrieved from France - more work to do!

Accidents with Angle Grinders are rarely trivial. Except in this case. I got away with it. One monster grinding wheel caught my overalls, cut through them and my jeans and yes it found its way to my leg. Ouch! I now hobble...

Here be ghosts.....
