  • Smoke escaping into bedroom

    Hi, when I light my log burner, I end up with the bedroom above filling with smoke(The bedroom has an unused original fireplace in in it). The landlord says he’s had it checked and there’s nothing wrong with the chimney. I feel like I’m being fobbed off and could do with some advise as to what the problem could be so I can go back to him with it. Can anybody help? Thanks

    advice on smart appliances

    Just how good are smart appliances? I’ve heard a lot about the internet of things and how with more and more connected devices, we can have more control and ultimately simplify everything in life. Is this a fair assessment? Are smart appliances beneficial or a waste of money? I’d love to hear the honest thoughts of a professional on the matter. Thanks!
