Nowt as funny as folk,

[wannabe logger]

My local coal merchant asked me last weekend to have 200 nets of bone dry firewood for a customer who buys this amount every January and it lasts him the entire year. I dutifully spent 7 hours putting the logs into nets,,,,,,, only to be told by the coal merchant today that he had to spend 2 and a half hours emptying the nets in the customer's store. Why the customer wasn't happy to just stack up the nets and use them as he needed them, i will never know

Now that's funny good job it wasn't you doing it

[Stephen Blair]

Now you have supplied logs in an expensive way for no reason .

 

I blame the coal merchant:sneaky2:

Seriously feel your pain there! Why the hell don't they just buy in direct from you in m3? Could be worth finding where they live and popping round to explain?

 

Extra business ;-)

Extra business maybe but at say 2.50 a net for 200 nets is 500 quid as opposed perhaps 200 in loose logs. Yes more work involved but you also have the ongoing sale of logs to consider with the coalmon.

Out of interest, how many logs do you get to a net these days?

[wannabe logger]

Ah don't really count Richard, 60 x 45 nets, logs split quite small, i'd guess about 20.
