Owning your own home

People fucking hate being told this. I’m quite interested to see the data on a gas burning pizza oven. I hadn’t realised that PM2.5 also comes from burning gas.

hey its my job to shame people on here who have these fireplaces

Signal amplify to the knowledgable homeowner/trade experts in this thread - few questions around structural engineers in the kitchen renovation thread: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/15977227/

Are you the spark on YouTube he talks about 😆

So sad to be missing peak fixie skidder catford. @laner @chainbreaker nevar 4get.

Those were the days.

Haha no, just blessed with the same initials.

you exhausted the IG options?

Would be curious to know the impact of these in more sparsely populated rural areas.

Translation: I need stats to make me feel better

best case you're just polluting yourself rather than lots of neighbours

Yeah, most of the hot shots have a 6 month wait list.

Wouldn’t worry, meat industry causes way more pollution.

Is it a purpose built block or a converted house thing?

Latter, ground floor with garden.

I'm surprised to get a mortgage with my pittance salary.

I've got a SUV, eat meat and a wood burning stove - literally the worlds worst person. Sorry guys

Could be really bad if you voted Tory.

In Man About The House just now the bloke said he pays £7.50 a week in rent, sharing a 3 bed conversion with two girls. 1974. South Ken or Putney apparently.

Well that's a relief!

The air pollution will probably kill you quicker tho.

Why do you eat your wood burning stove?

What do you need doing? My friends is a carpenter so can ask him. Might be a bit of wait but can certainly ask

Or for Brexit.

No Tory or brexit voting - so think I avoid being an absolute total cunt, just more like a bit of one

owning my own almost home (wouldn’t recommend)

My parents paid £75/quarter rent from British Waterways (cheaper than the council housing that was the alternative), until they bought their house in the 1990s for a four-figure sum.

And then the government wondered why British Waterways was losing lots of money and turned it into a charity.

Looks well nice tho - what and where ?
