The Farm gate leading up to my yard was open this morning at 7, but I didn't think anything of it as a tractor was on the land working, when I got up there my stack of sleepers had gone, but cord wood untouched this time.

Worse,the scum also took my sawdust shovel which I've had since sawdust was invented, and my husky helmet.

Can't get much lower than stealing like that.

If I'd have caught him he wouldn't have had a head worth putting in it.

Can I admit to being a gobliin?

 

Not that snobby, if I can split it then it can sit in the drive for a year and get burnt on the stove. No problem with willow except it never splits easy, pine is great, the axe goes through it no problem. I just have to load the fire up more often with softwood but thats no hardship, coal if we are going out for more than an hour helps too.

 

For its worth, collecting the wood a corsa load at a time, then sweeping it out to put the boys seats back in, cutting and splitting the wood, stacking it, moving it into the garage for the winter, restacking it after the boys have climbed on it and spread it around the place, its not worth it purely from the time spent looking after it - would be cheaper to buy it ready split and dry if I charged myself for my time.

 

I did see an ad on gumtree - a tree surgeon who will drop off a load at the end of the day for £50 which I thoguht was a decent price (drive was too full over winter to take him up on the offer yet). The wood would be as it comes of course. That could be a solution to a stockpile of slowly rotting wood, once its loaded up at the end of a job drop it off at a goblins house. Saves you handling it twice and storing it, and gets you some beer tokens. Saves their hatchbacks suspension.

I feel they have betrayed me, this bit of stump has been here for two weeks with no takers. They took all the old fencing stakes, bits of sleeper and a load more Chestnut but left this :thumbdown:

Put a sign next to it saying "Stumpery for sale, £100, as seen on TV" and it will be gone by the morning :laugh1:

Light fingered barstewards!

 

There's an auction on ibidder (Husseys) Crocadon sawmill near me.

 

Mike's packing up and going across the Channel.

 

Been "viewing" days this week, heard somebody had gone back after dark and helped 'emself to a stack of Yew boards wort a pretty penny.

 

If it ain't chained up some slime sucking pond dweller will have it away 👎🏻
