Well I just had this mountain of wood piling up, no real plan for it, till some bloke offered to pay me for some of it.

Me being an old cnut I am somewhat embarrassed not to have known that . However at the risk of embarrassing myself further I still am not sure of the context , even though I now know what a rood is now .

I know, but I was too busy spooning caviar down my cakehole and slurping the finest wines known to humanity using the money that  the dismantling paid me to bother with that.

I know you’ve sent decent stuff offsite for milling before.

 

No interest in logs?

 

It’s not a real earner for me, but useful for filling gaps in the winter/foul weather.

Too many farmers and others with top quality splitters/processers/packers who own chestnut woodlands to even contemplate doing firewood. 
In the same vein high technology sawmills everywhere turning out tonnes of building lumber. 
 

I have specialised in what I do. 
I believe it’s been a good decision.

Although youre sitting on a few thousand Euros which probably equates to 3.2 billion bottles of French wine arent you just a bit gutted that you could have had a proper big fck off bonfire?

 

BTW, a really nice bit of land you have there.

Yes, a bonfire would be ideal. 
I’ll always be stuck with an area of brambles and rotten wood. 
They seem to have abandoned chipping now it’s not economical. 
When we sell the place in a few years it’ll undoubtedly be a minus to prospective buyers.
