Your post did me almost as much good as a log burner cackling away to itself quietly in the corner.

 

I have a new fantasy (Down @Pocster, DOWN).....

 

The minute we have sign off, we fit a small log burner. I can see where to fit it. I can see how to do it. I can see.....the Promised Land. A happy wife and a happy life.

 

As opposed to that hoary Land Rover dictum:

 

One wife. Livid.

I believe if you get the woodburner in as part of the build then you don’t have to pay a hetas person lots, you can do it yourself, saving quite a packet.

Yes this can be signed of by building control (I did).

Hey: brilliant! I can wheel her round Log Burner shops. 

 

I can just feel the heat floodin' into me old bones : sittin' in 't livin room, the pair of us stripped down to the unmentionables, sweating like  piglets, all doors open all windows open,   MVHR  coughing like an knackered over-retarded Austin Allegro, belching smoke : and the doorbell goes....

 

"Amazon Delivery mate .... I just need to take a photogrpah... oh, on second thoughts  - no - it'll do .... byeeeeee"

And as my experiments have revealed, the third best visual effect after 1) a real log fire, and 2) a spirit burner in a woodburner is 3) an iPad propped up behind the glass with a vid of a log fire burning.  Still way better than the fake electric jobbies we looked at.

Oh, and the 437th best visual effect is a complete lack of anything.

@G and J where does a giant 120w Lava lamp sit on that list?

And the giant lava lamp is a new entry at 231, failing to beat this week’s other new entry, a £9.99 set of electric candles from Blighty’s foremost style source, B&M….

No good in our place : proper candles needed in a Haus that consumes large amounts of sauerkraut.😒 We need a proper flame

Honestly.  We come up with a suggestion that saves the 43g worth of carbon involved in a 100 pack of tealights (requiring 68.469kg of carbon in the 9 AAA batteries alone) and you are quibbling.  There’s no hope is there!

Quibbling. Fermented foods do that to a bloke. How much carbon is locked up in my barrel of sauerkraut then? 

 

I can give you a fairly good estimate of the methane volume generated, but that's not the issue these days is it... No , really I wanna know - how much carbon is locked up in one cabbage? And does the fermentation process involved in making sauerkraut increase or decrease the carbon volume? 

 

Answers quickly please before the pubs open tonight. For my pub quiz questions you see....

About 10% of the mass when freshly harvested.

 

The embodied energy will be about 0.2% if the solar irradiance for where it was grown.
