Old Hood required ( English moke)

Post by fra21r »

Does anyone have a old hood or side panels there not needing
to be use as a temple to make new one

our hood is in bad shape and the rear section is missing
and her indoors is wanting to get it sorted out she is handy with a sewing machine :shock:

if you could let me know

The problem is I'm in a bit of a catch22 situation at the moment. To go in the garage I want the fire working 'cos it's so cold BUT to get the fire working I need to fit the flue BUT the roof is colder still and icy slippy to boot....When it gets warmer I'm in the garage faffing and forget about fixing the fire :roll:

Got the fire working - it's warm as toast now..... I was thinking all I have to do is connect up the radiators that I've found and I'll have central heating to boot

That's what I THOUGHT......But when I returned home today I found that my son had been working on his Mini in there all day and managed to set fire to the garage wall because he'd got the fire so hot :o

Hmm, that's less than ideal, but at least its warm. :shock:

Where I live, we had a big spate of house fires caused by badly installed wood heaters. It got to epidemic proportions. They had to change the laws, and its very strict now. You have to use a licensed installer, and you can't even buy the flue or materials to do it yourself. It seems to have fixed the problem, and all of the dodgy installations have burnt down now.

There was a child that thought that he was made wrong, as his nose was always running and his feet were always smelling.
