Had delivery of wood and it is quite wet...

[carbs for arbs]

I promised an update, so here it is....  Having been more careful with the MM I stopped getting the super high readings but did continuously get readings around the 40% mark.  As mentioned previously, freshly felled ash was reading around 50%, and continued to, so I think it had a high bias.  But even being generous that would have made the bought wood 30%+ which isn't ideal.  The seller was good about it and happy to collect/refund, so all well in the end.  

 

Thanks again for the replies

Needed to hear that like a hole in the head as I picked up a load of it the other week and have cut it up and split it ... I'll be bringing it back to myself next season asking for a refund if it's still wet 

Great for kindling - no so great for firewood!

Think I've got myself kindling for the next 50 years in that case 😄

Hell!

 

I can’t think of anything that would make me LESS happy than doing a job, getting paid, undoing the job and giving the money back. 
 

That’s about as pointless and nugatory a series of actions as I could ever imagine. 
 

Well done for getting your mullar back though.

Hmm, maybe I'm putting words in his mouth when I say "happy".  I meant more that he did it, and was understanding about the situation.  Not sure how happily though.  I felt bad, but the wood was no use to me unseasoned...

Totally understand, for every one’s sake, if it was sub-optimal product, he’d have been better off saying “Sorry, I’m out”

Egger will laugh at this....

Once had the local chapter JWs knock the door when I lived in Torpoint. 
 

It was back in the day when I didn’t really have anything like wife / child / business to occupy my “spare” time and I was ‘time rich’ 

 

A Sunday morning after a particularly enthusiastic drinking night before, answered the door in my crackers, bleary eyed, still pissed and notably disheveled to be confronted by a bloke in a cheap whistle & bird in tow. 
 

After the initial wave of panic - thinking it was CID and not quite sure what happened the night before - I realised it was JWs!

 

They opened their pitch with some old pony about damage to a local phone box and how terrible society had become. 
 

I thought, well that’s odd, there aren’t any phone boxes anywhere nearby. 
 

When pressed for the location, date and details of said damage they conceded that it was just a generic opening pitch. 
 

Right you cnuts, thinks I, you come here, wake me up and try preaching about the state of society when your opening pitch is knowingly and intentionally fictional.....

 

2 ½ hours I kept them there! I knew they were too polite (lame) to actually say “...we’ve got a right one here, lost cause, let’s do one...” 

 

It all fell apart for them with the misrepresentation at the opening pitch and went downhill very quickly when their (assumed superior) quotes from scripture were countered, at every point, by real life experience of having visited and studied most of the actual locations and stories they were trying to present. 
 

That’ll learn ‘em! Never saw ‘em again 😂
