unseasoned logs sussex

[ChrisWilko]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know of anyone who can deliver unseasoned logs to West Sussex, in the Crawley Area?  I am registered as tip site as well.  Happy to take anything as I can process it but must be capable of being burnt in a wood burner.  Thanks

Most free wood can be burnt in a wood burner, if you are offering an incentive to the local tree surgeons, then that wood will definitely burn (If I give away some home baking, beers or notes for logs then I am pretty sure I will make it burn!!)

 

Another top tip is to walk about - fresh air is good - and as you do listen for 2 stroke engines - that might be a chain saw at work and the waste needing to go somewhere (though often can be a hedge trimmer or a strimmer), and give the local tree surgeons a call, they arn't all on here, and see how that goes too

My most famous bit of hutzpah was a few years back.

Taking down some ash, saw a council worker driving past in a 7.5 tonne a couple of times, I saw him eyeing the wood.

So next time he passed I flagged him down ‘you want this wood?’

’well yeah if it’s free’

’when can you take it?’

’I’ll be back at lunchtime for a couple of loads’

 

Saved me a days work.

You don’t ask, you don’t get.

"Typical" Council worker, using Council vehicle and fuel for private purposes, and of course, in Council time, naturally.

Lunchtime if we’re going to be accurate.

… And show me any lad who hasn’t used the company van for their own means, and I’ll show you a liar.

1/2 hr lunch, and a "couple" of loads.

Gents, I worked for a Council for far too many years, and witnessed those who routinely ripped the arse out of it, in Council hours.

The most I ever did was borrow a trailer, at the weekend, until I bought my own, and the borrowed use, but not misuse, of a masonary saw.

Tough.

So you’re the same as him then?

No, I burned my own diesel, in my own vehicle, in my own time.

A not insignificent difference ca!

This guy did it once, on his time, you were saving on buying equipment by regularly using stuff the taxpayer paid for.
