Is that toxic though?
I was looking at some type of Gorilla foam online and there were warnings of cancer causing chemicals and all-sorts!

Heating? I've still got the fan on at night.

Hey Ninja
I had the exact same problem
Toolstation or Screwfix
Buy the expanding foam
Once it goes off you can cut the excess away - sand and even paint
No more draughts mate 👍

Non sport related thread alert.

Surprised this thread hasn't been moved to the Alternative Forum.

It usually takes Herr Moggis under ten minutes to instruct Blue Matt to shift it.

He then exclaims: "jawohl," dutifully slaps a thigh, clicks his heels together then punts it with gusto.

He’s concerned our energy bills will mean less fans which will mean less money for the club, which will mean a shit manager, and fewer light displays before the games.

And the players will be having muscle injuries due to low internal temperatures.

Cheers sunny, will look into the expanding foams a bit more, seems a good option, just a bit wary after what I read about the Gorilla one!

Same here GL
Best thing we’ve ever bought was the log burner
Apart from the heat it throws out there’s definitely something soothing in watching naked flames 🔥 🔥🔥

We have one but to purchase a bag of seasoned cut logs is about £80. Is this really more cost efficient than just turning the central heating on for an hour in the evening?

My old man used to work at John Bland’s. Dear God it was like bonfire night in our house every night, sparks everywhere, the mat in front of the fireplace was like a frigging old ashtray, scorch marks everywhere. Still, the wood cost bugger all.

Not yet, but definitely feeling colder now.
I've got gaps under a pvc windowsill in one of my rooms that are causing a draught, anybody got any tips on filling it?
The gaps are quite big so I'm not sure a sealant gun will work, could I plug it with putty?

you could just cover the gap with some uPVC trim and stick on with some silicone if you didnt want to use expanding foam

** traditionally expanding foam / foam insulation did contain formaldehyde, but the world attempted to get rid of it ( though some still contain, Im looking at it made cheaply in China ) though saying that, it still does still contain Isocyanates which are also cancerogenic

Im looking at a log burner for the " man cave " but Im not sure on it, we are trying to look after the environment, still in 2 minds and deciding

Putty it is then

its used alot in the building game, and does " De-gas " really quickly ( think its 24 hours for most ) them fumes would be outside aswell

a thin strip of uPVC trim would look fine under a cill

Shoving a log burner up your arse isn't going to help the environment, Matt.

Re: Anyone turned the heating on yet?

Thought I’d run mine after reading this….no problem all summer with water but the heating won’t come on….I think it’s the wireless thermostat again. Good to know now I guess rather than in a month when I’ll prob want it running
