Worst ever year for keeping logs dry

[big chris the log]

Hi big J lucky you .Roll on easter i am off to sweden and finland for 10 days to look at some log houses and some equipment but at the moment emigrating sounds good.

Cheers Chris

Think we should really count ourselves lucky Jon. Even though it's been miserable and wet for an age in the South west we have not had the quantities and flooding the the North west has had. Spring will be here soon and that is usually our sunniest parts of the year recently.

 

You can probably tell I am not as down as when I started this thread. Amazing what 36 hours without rain can do

 

Lovely drying day today; about to be ruined by "back to normal" ...

 

I suggest emigrating!

 

You reading my mind...

Try keeping a large amount of chikkins in this. Hell of a mess, poor things. I got caught out this year as I'd coppiced about half an acre of hazel last winter and left most in billets in the field to season, assuming I would haul it back in on those lovely crispy December days. Wrong. Couldn't get near it as the field is steep. Have been carting it back by hand and now it's soaked through. Just picked up a Kioti Mechron which will get out the other side of the valley but still means hurling it all across a fairly wide stream. Bit of a disaster really.

What about a big polytunnel on stilts?

Same here, even the sheds are soaked because it's going sideways.

I've run out of words and emotions re the weather. It hasn't stopped raining here since the end of September, and surprise surprise its forecast wet and grey all next week too. I just can't get my head round it, it's just mad.
