Cookers and Carpets

[Samdy Gray]

Another vote for gas cookers here.

I've got wooden floor in the lounge (proper 1" thick stuff, not the 5mm laminate) and it doesn't get cold. Relatively easy to clean as well (says me who's just spent an hour on my hands and knees scubbing it).

I think im sold on gas then, cheers fellas.

Kitchen n bathroom already have lino so im leaving them for now. But im thinking carpet for stairs and bedrooms... possibly save some money for some good wood for the living room and entrance hallway.

Who ever knew carpets and carpet fitting costs so much!?

Gas hob, electric fan oven. Perfect combo.

This.

And carpets

Gas 100% sooo much easier as I find it easier to judge heat etc better on Gas.

carpets for less are very reasonable for carpets and fitting

I can second this.

And if you do decide on carpet over wood/laminate, get the underlay and grippers online. It's about 90% cheaper! The extra-fabulous-super-luxury underlay that they sell for £9.99 per m² can be had in 15m² rolls for about £25 to £30. We did this and bought our carpet from Carpets4Less and their fitter layed the underlay and grippers for us at no extra charge.

Gas for the hobs and grill.  Electric for the oven.

I find electric ok but like Talk Talk mentioned trying to cook anything with a wok is a fucking nightmare.  Gas is far better and easer to control.  Likewise for the grill, gas is far better.

Oven is a different kettle of fish.  I prefer a decent electric effort as it heats up that bit quicker and you getter a better even temperature throughout.  I have found a gas oven  can sometimes be a bit hit and miss and hard to get the right temperature.

I've found my missus can set the smoke alarm off with equal ease on both gas and electric. That's how the kids know dinner's ready

Gas for me. Get's things cooked properly and you can light it with a match when there's a power cut 

Laminate's more hygenic. All that dust, hair and shit gets worked into the carpet and stays there. Get's cold in winter but a couple of rugs and wearing slippers should do the trick.

Dual fuel - electric fan oven and gas hob. The best cooker I've ever had

[nochee]

You can always light your fag off the gas hob when you cant find a lighter. Gas rocks!

Top tip. Go for wooden flooring throughout. Instead of gas or electricity, I suggest you invest in a wood-burning stove. When you eventually decide to switch to carpets you will have a ready supply of wood for cooking purposes. Should save a fortune.
