How Long does propane last

puffin · April 22, 2010, 10:44:01 AM

I like the trolley idea , although I live in the middle/ edge of the island so a few hills to go up and down. that would be a great job for the 11 year old , he could be gone for a few days trying to bring back propane from the ferry ( Hee Heee ) .i doubt he would do it though unless as a punishment because he would want paying.

As for licence I will have to ask hubby or ring them about that, but most islanders i expect get it themselves. I have only ever seen the oil tankers come to the island , but i will take advice and enquire see what they say about delivery.

I am not panicking i am just being organised for when hubby is off isle . i like to be prepared as that's the time i can really play in future

plus the more propane i have the more i can make

I have just finished my first 13kg tank and that was exactly (shuffles of quickly to work it out...) 81 hours and 32 minutes

how on earth do you know that

Krysia@No98 · April 22, 2010, 05:47:16 PM

welllll you know when I said I had a database that I had all of the different types of glass that I had in there... Well I also have a session log in there so that as soon as I light my torch I put in the start and then later the end time

I wanted to use it so that eventually I would be able to work out an average time for me and a tank.

I know, I know a teeny tiny bit anal...

just the teeniest bit

Krysia@No98 · April 22, 2010, 10:59:44 PM

but I don't have a kiln log

Vicki · April 22, 2010, 11:24:07 PM

that just sounds like a fire hazard

.... yet

Krysia@No98 · April 23, 2010, 09:13:10 AM

ok, ok, I'll probably start one of those when I start with ceramics. but I don't think that'll be for a very long time

No not anal, just organized. I love it! (and am very jealous - as I too love to know information like this).

Krysia@No98 · August 30, 2010, 08:43:30 AM

well you too can have one with the power of excel or access (other spreadsheet and database applications are available

)

I am starting a kiln formed glass course in a few weeks so that kiln log might be happening sooner then I thought

I have so many spreadsheets and databases going already. I am trying to cut down a little!

Krysia@No98 · August 30, 2010, 12:06:30 PM

ha ha ha, Oh I love it.

I must say that to the boss one day, the man who is responsible for hundreds of the things

(what about putting them all into one BIG database?)

(and now for a very geeky question what you using Access?)

Krysia - I do worry about you sometimes - I look at your posts and see just a scary little bit of me in them....... I had never thought about running a log. Am very excited now and going to waste another afternoon developing inane excel formulas and chuff charts!
