Electric Fires

Hi,

I want to get something like these to go in my new house.

are they actually fitted to the wall? Is it a job that anyine can do? The electric cable is already fitted to the wall.

Help?

The surrounds will no doubt come with brackets of some sort for fixing them to the walls. You will also need a gas supply and a CORGI fitter to connect up to the supply to the fire. As the Island is now on natural gas rather than town gas, you don't need to worry about converting the gas fire over.

Exactly, you don't use a hammer for nails, that's for screws. For nails you use the base of your plane (or if you're really wise, the base of your mate's plane while he's gone for a tea-break).

I'll admit to having used masonry nails to fix battens to walls; the weight they were to carry didn't seem worth the effort of drilling holes for rawlplugs...

No, screwdrivers are for making holes in things, a nicely honed chisel is for opening tins of paint.

No, that's the corner of the back door step you're thinking of there.

Screwdrivers, on the other hand, were invented for opening tins of paint.

Ah; my mistake.

I thought one's best-honed chisels were reserved for jobs like chipping off the sticky-up bits from ceramic tiles that haven't snapped through cleanly enough.

Are you sure? I thought wood chisels were for chiselling concrete off with. They seem to work for that anyway.

I read somewhere that screwdrivers were invented before screws... I'm doubtful, but if they were, what else would they be used for? Bearing in mind sealed tins of paint might not have been too common either.

As a child I used one for disengaging stuck Lego bricks.
