Although I might use one of the bigger bits as an obstacle for the trials bike, it’s time to break out the chainsaw 😀

Oh yeah… £80 delivered 😛

That’s a steal 😀

Is that Stu’s car in the background Sharkbait? Is he around at the moment?

Take me to your dealer!

£75 per cubic metre delivered here, and it looks as though some of those bits are more than that. A steal indeed.

Jeez, there are some big lumps in there. Looking forward to seeing it all neatly chopped and stacked.

Yep about 6 tons in total, some bits are about 24″ diameter and are obviously going to be cut up in situ – even with the tractor to help move stuff around. Think I need some proper storage rather than crates and pallets.
Hopefully going to have haves other load sometime in the autumn.
Jerry: yep its stu’s car, he’s back in Perth until July I think. As usual I seem to be a storage depot 🙁

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wood!

meh, I have more. This is about 1/20th of the wood I (work) have…

😯 I like!

Remind self to build/buy a house with fire place …

Are you using a Laser as a woodshed roof?

Sacrilege

Yes I am but only because the bottom of the mast tube gave up the ghost one breezy day and as the mast came down it ripped a huge hole in the deck! It’s quite good as a roof 🙂
Anyway it’s only a laser 😉

Or, as they’re now know, a Kirby Torch.

I had a spare couple of hours today so I picked up another load. Road works detoured me past the quarry. Just for fun I asked the weigh bridge guy if he could weight the combo. 5620kg 😯

I need to check the limits on what I can tow. I think trailer limit is 2.5 tonnes.

Discovery weighs 2061kg, trailer weighs, 735kg.

Good grief, the load would have been around 2800kg. 😯

About spot on if it’s a IFW 12′, the one at work is plated for 2800kg to give it a 3.5t mgw

edit: both will handle more, the 18′ IFW at the marquee firm used to be 4-5 ton loaded and the Discos pulled it fine, obviously we never knew this because we never put it on the weighbridge at the docks.

That’ll take some splitting 😀

With our house hunting at the moment I think I’ve convinced the wife that we need a place.

My enormous shed that I’m going to build is likely to be paired with an immense wood store too.

Once you get a wood burning stove she’ll love you all the more for it. Win all round. 🙂

That’s a lot of wood for £80.

McMoonter, if you sawed all that up in 2 hours you must have been going some! Watch those artistic hands, they’ll be only good for ruffian tasks at this rate 🙂

Boblo, there’s a lot more than a couple of hours worth there. I’ve got a big hole in a woodshed that needs filling, there might a bit left over. I might build another. While there is a sustainable supply, I feel compelled to maximize the opportunity. From what I hear down south, this sort of wood is hard to come by.
