Kerosene

Thankfully kerosene has now dropped in price a little, so my trip to buy some for the water heater was not quite as shocking to the coffers as it has been of late. I popped in to the junk yard on the way there and dropped off some scrap iron. As usual I came away with a few odds and ends, too. A kind of stainless steel water heater tank that was designed to fit over the chimney of a boiler that looked interesting. A three ton screw jack, some scaffolding brackets and a hand full or two of bolts and whatnot. The chap there was busy with the torch as is often the case. Slicing the ends off sheets of stainless steel that had been soldered, that kind of contaminant is apparently not acceptable to his buyer.
Perhaps one day the water heater thingy will help to reduce my kerosene bills even further, if not it will find its way back to the yard again.
