Used to love your videos fixing bikes ill be glad to see them back. Glad to hear youre gonna get back at it
You don’t have to justify why your doing what your doing with your Chanel’s Martin. Most of us have to go to work to pay the bills. It’s nice though, every now and then to “ nip round ya mates garage / workshop😀 and see how he’s getting on with all them never ending projects”😀 hope you’s all have a good crimbo, probably see ya all in a couple of vids… Stick in buddy 👍🏻
Cheers Steve, all the best bud.
Nice video, shame to her about the damp and mould. Having the heating on is a worthwhile thing to do,and saves you money in the long run (redoing ceiling, drying out walls and the obvious health issues living in a damp house). Completely agree for your reasons why given the ridiculous cost of living etc but not using it has caused issues that could have been avoided. Mind you, I bet lots of people have had similar issues.
It has probably already been pointed out Martin, but anyway, the damp you are experiencing is condensation of the moisture in the air which is produced as a result of using gas and paraffin heaters. These produce a lot of moisture in the air which will condense on the colder outer walls, windows and so on. This in turn provides the perfect conditions for mould to grow, along with peeling paint and so on, another issue can be a lack of adequate ventilation to allow moisture laden air to escape from the house and allowing damp air to condense out on cool surfaces.
I literally came to type this, definitely cause lots of moisture to be produced Martin so may be worth stopping use in the house 👍
Yes you're quite correct ,they are the work of the devil! When you factor in the cost of the fuel/ gas , the damage to decoration and possible health risks from mould spores etc faffing around filling them up or changing gas bottles not to mention the purchase price , they just don't make sense. It's got to be better to use a 1.5 kw fan heater for a few hours ( especially one of the newer ceramic ones with thermostatic control).
Cracking little heater. Looking forward to the Trotter van. Top vid as always.
Hi Martin.Oil heaters cause loads of condensation.Remember when dad used to have them around the house in the 60s in the days of no central heating,and the smell of paraffin.
Nice little heater there Martin i remember as a child we had to walk down the back yard to the outside toilet in the winter time we had two little paraffin Tilly lamps to stop the pipes freezing 👍👍👍👍
Oh wow!
You cannot beat a bit of tinkering in the shed
Thanks for the update Martin, must say you and Sharon are doing a great job keeping us entertained with your videos 👌👌👍👍
Fantastic, I really miss the retrorestore regular videos but I totally understand, I learn so much from this channel Martin.
Look forward to see what 2024 brings
So glad to hear the trotter van being restored, and for Gary's wedding, fantastic, i had to sell my trotter van due to health problems, but love watching your video's, today is Friday, Happy Birthday Martin
Thanks John.
Martin I watch all your Cosori chnl reviews & cooking videos. By chance today you mentioned about your restore chnl which I found very interesting as one of my other hobbies apart from cooking is Tilley lamp restoration and paraffin related items. The Zibro wick restore was interesting. You certainly keep your self very busy. Thanks for all your time you give to put these videos on..Cheers mate.
You should check out my @retrohax channel as I have restored a couple of lanterns on there.
I was in garage today working on snowblowers. In Minnesota USA
Merry xmas, looking forward to the Trotter van,what a great vehicle for a wedding !!
I am looking forward to the trotter van project starting again, martin
Thanks Martin for the update and to be fair totally honest .. I don’t know why people have to moan .. Have a great Christmas and I see you in the next video
Hi Martin, I have a zibro heater, they are fantastic. The instruction manual says to "DRY BURN" the wick occasionally to extend its life. My heater failed to light automatically recently so that's what I did and it returned to normal lighting. Instead of burning it untill the tank runs out, I just took the tank out and it still took about an hour to extinguish. Anyway it worked. Thanks for all your and Sharon's demonstrations and entertainment.
Thanks for the tip Nora.
Always love watching your repairs videos watching from South Africa
Nice and timely update Mr B. You can only do so much and we all understand where the work load is. The Empire goes from strength to strength.
Great to see you in the workshop Martin. You are quite right, you need to go where the money is, but I am pleased you will have some Retrorestore content in the new year. Please film your workshop extention that will be interesting to watch.
Take care, Jeff
Cheers Jeff, All the best bud.
Great to see you back in the workshop Martin. I've been looking forward to seeing the trotter van restored, as I've followed its progress since the beginning. Can't wait 😊👍
Fantastic update on your channels, most splendid Martin.
Good to see you in the workshop again Martin. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next year.
Hanging with Martin in the shed happy days, btw paraffin and callor heaters put three pints of moisture into the room every five hours used each 😬😬
Ah thank god for Gary I have missed the old man in the shed tinkering
Great to see you back in the workshop, I do like your tinkering videos and it's great your channels are taking off
Thanks Chris👍
Love this video. Makes me think about back in the day while my mam was making the fire in the morning she warmed the dining room up with a paraffin heater. Great. However my breathing went bad and I had asthma. The doc blamed the heater and not the fact that both my parents smoked. My mother in laws doctor told her to smoke menthol cigarettes to help her asthma. Crazy times
Great video as always mate!!
Point of use oil/gas bottle heaters are condensation central, add to the mix that the heating has been turned off and the core building temperature will have cooled allowing the condensation from the oil heaters to readily condense on the outside walls and ceilings, usually seen as black mould, usually in the corners/ceilings of rooms. I have seen this SO many times in social housing. You would do better to keep your central heating on a low setting. Not talking out of my hat, I am a Chartered Building Surveyor who has been dealing with this issue for 30+ years.
To heat my house like we used to do before the energy prices went up used to be around £240 per month, to keep the heating on as we used to, it jumps up to over £700 per month. Its damage limitation we are trying to deal with so pop the heating on as necessary.
Hi Martin, this gentleman is correct in what he is saying, I appreciate your explanation of cost etc.... you would probably be better off using the deisel heaters you have in the workshop.... warm air heating far better than what you are using now.....stay safe.
Nice heaters I got one years ago at auction for £5 but never had the filling tub with it after a bodge it's still working great, but the diesel heaters are much cheaper to run. Keep up the good work have a nice Christmas you two.
Nice to see you back in the shed mate👍
Morning Martin, I was under the impression that calor gas heaters give off condensation but not sure about oil heaters, hope you all have a wonderful christmas🎉🎉🎉
You are correct
I get my Kero from a local fuel supplier for 95p per litre. Much cheaper than the red diesel I was using previously. Many heating oil suppliers won't sell in smaller quantities though so it may not be feasible for everyone. Luckily, our supplier spotted the diesel heater trend and setup a kerosene pump in their yard for customers to purchase in their own jerry cans.
Thanks for sharing this with us take care
Calor gas and paraffin heaters give off huge amounts of water into the air so wont help your condensation levels
We have dehumidifiers.
I also use dehumidifiers in my house.I have found that one large dehumidifier uses less power and does the whole house rather than moving a small one from room to room.The refrigerant R290 is propane so watch out do not use the zibro heater with its open flame when heating the room for dehumidification its a fire hazard .
Love your videos Martin merry Christmas mate to you and your family
Same to you bud.
love you guys thank you for another video 😊
Thanks for watching!
Diesel fuek here in the us is up to 5.50 a gallon and our heating oil or kerosine is at like 4.00 a gallon
I have one like that it’s 10k btu and it is a nice heater. I also have 2 of the round ones.
My nan used to do this in the end the damage caused from mould ingress compared to CH it wasn't worth it, I'm pretty sure you can get the outside of the house sealed might be worth looking into boss
Whys your heat not on martin? It sounds like youd be safer just using it.
My house is same if i let it get too cold over winter mould starts in the external corners. I just keep the thermostat set at a low ish temp so the heat always kicks on if it starts to get too cold. Worth the cost of oil to keep the house in good condition
Your bathroom ceiling fan and damp ceiling - is it connected to outside via flex pipe? Maybe same problem I had - flex pipe is sagging and full of water. Hope that helps.
Ta for the video mate
..
Can you adjust the heating on that kerosene heater?
Hello would someone tell me how to find out what size if my wheel nuts are
👍👍👍.Thanks
Hi to all the family
Busy busy busy Martin!
I'm a bit behind, have you given up on the central heating because of the high costs or is there a problem with it?
I tried a smaller version of one of those heaters at the start of the year and also a couple of Aladdin 2 inch wick heaters, not all running at the same time and although they were ok i found using class 1 Paraffin they worked out just as expensive as using ,my central heating but i am only in a one bed flat, apparently the inverter Paraffin heaters are the best and are also meant to be fairly inexpensive to run once purchased and bargains still turn up on marketplace for them if you keep looking.
My house costs double the standard price for energy as its a big house.
Hi Martin, will this heater run on waste engine oil? Thanks for all of your time and effort in providing these most informative vids. Best wishes, Paul from Widnes
HI Paul, Not this one bud and it's also illegal to burn waste engine oil here in the UK.
Was going to warn you the unvented gas and paraffin heaters dump loads of warm damp air into your house but others have mentioned it already.
I agree with the comment that says bite the bullet and put the CH on.
👍🇬🇧
To heat my house like we used to do before the energy prices went up used to be around £240 per month, to keep the heating on as we used to, it jumps up to over £700 per month. What would you do?
@retrorestore We use a condensing oil boiler in a three bed old barn conversion with some solid walls. I don't think we 'could' use £700 of oil in a month! My old Mum is disabled and has half the house at 22 degrees 24/7 as well?
I would suggest there must be an insulation issue if your house requires that much heat?
👍🇬🇧
No, its just a very big house.
Calor gas heaters are the worst thing to heat they give off 75% water vapour
No need to explain your financial status mate it's your business 👍
Why are you not heating the house Martin
It costs twice the amount to heat my house as its a big house.
I'm sure this video is an reupload from last year
No its not.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
No will enjoy the reviews 💯👌 and looking fwrd to more content 👌
Let’s gooooooo!!!!!
Hi Martin I have given a message on your instagram about a mower restoration on my hc26 if you would be interested
Cannee beat a good old tinkering 🎉🫡🤝🏴🍀
