The afore mentioned stove won´t fit it that, and no room for the radiator pipes either, re-think required!
Anyway, end of August is your last day of summer, or has winter already begun

Perhaps you should open " Martin´s Winter Garden " to the public to gain some funds for the winter upgrade!

How about a log burner Martin?...Seems to be lots of retro/Art Deco ones on FleaBay...

You could fit an inset woodburner in that fireplace if it's the right sized opening:

(slight affiliation with that site, I know the company owner via another forum!!)

I did think about a log burner a few months ago, but I went out and bought this, its better all round no need to locate and store logs and it doesn't make a mess, I will just design the fire surround to fit this stove, first things first though 1.8 to get up .

When it comes to mobile heat, I like my Aladdin 37 Blueflame paraffin heater, burns cleanly, doesn't smell, and no Calor gas bottles to deal with...

You still have the hassle of fetching it and if any spilt while I was refilling it my life would not be worth living, this is going to be a very nice SH not a GH

Nah, it's easy to carry round, doesn't spill when carried (sealed tank), and filling, er, yeah, there's that, but that's where technique helps, still learning mine cos I've spilled a lot...

I could just change the jets and run a gas pipe to it 2cv, I will see how long a gas bottle lasts first, another project .

Hi, re starting work on this, we are having a Christmas party on Saturday and i need to get it a bit further on, I wish I would have installed a bigger window now, it would have been ideal for testing .

More work done on this project, most of the electrics are now in and working still some second fixing to do at a later date , inside the old shed all the floor is down fixed and plywood, two walls and ceiling lined and insulated just the back wall to sort out,

This part of the project will be like a mini living room and the operating point for the 2.4, still lots to do but its coming on well.
