Owning your own home

Love your crusade against log burners.
Genuine question - what's the answer if you want some sort of real fire in your living room?

Also, if friends were to buy a BMW SUV how would that effect your feelings towards them? Because I ma really struggling...

The more I looked into a wood burner the more I concluded it's a good way to expose oneself to a heavy mix of carcinogenic particles - even with the doors closed the act of refuelling a fire fills the room with particles. Doors open is crazy stuff and worse than being a daily heavy smoker.

My open chimneys are now on the list of tasks to tackle as I'll never use them, but until then a https://www.chimneysheep.co.uk/ is helping out.

Future owners of this house are going to get an opinionated house... electric everything where possible (gas only used for water and radiators but I'll address that in time), no ability to have a log burner, etc... it looks Victorian, it is Victorian, but it's behaving a lot like a more recent build.
