Firewood for Winter
Re: Firewood for WinterWe don't get free logs, but our friend who owns the shoot, looks after and manages the wood, so get our logs at half price! . We always go down to the shooting ground and help split and load the logs, due to go down this weekend, will post some pics if I remember ....
I am old and wise, because I was young and stupid!.
Re: Firewood for WinterThere have been huge storms here ...trees down all over the place following winds of 170km/h (about 105 miles ?). We were so so lucky we've had no damage with just the power out for half a day....but our friend had around 70 trees came down.
This one was blocking the driveway so we went up this afternoon and hubby got out his bigger chainsaw...they had made a start on other trees but this one the way it had blown over they didn't want to touch it. Couple of hours and it was in bits and they can drive through. There's going to be a lot of firewood around this year me thinks...our friend who's family won a logging company reckon that they alone have 250,000 tonnes of wood that's blown over in the wind Good for everyone but not good we've lost so many trees. ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨)✰

Re: Firewood for WinterWe use single use pallets (tons of 'em) it's amazing how many of these are just skipped on biulding sites and I've never been refused when I ask for them, likewise on demolition sites......it's now cheaper to scrap the timber than to try to reclaim it, evidently.
