We get a call saying the logs will
be delivered this morning, but that they will be delivered to the back of the
house.
We spend some time clearing out
the barn to make sure there is enough room for the logs.
We go out and meet them and they
are dropped at the bottom of the garden. John has the fun of wheel barrowing 3
cubic metres of logs across the garden and I have the fun of stacking them in
the barn.
This takes a few hours and there
is still snow on the floor.
We’re knackered but at least we have logs. I can’t believe how many logs there are in 3 cubic metres, the barn is full and tonight we have a very hot fire.

Top tips
1. 3
cubic metres is a lot!!!!!!
2. Make
sure that you have enough space for that many logs
3. Logs
when bought tend to come in 50cm lengths make sure that your wood burner is big
enough, or that you own a chainsaw so that they can be cut to size (we will be
buying one tomorrow!)
There you go - 1 corde of 50cm logs. Standard French delivery :)
ReplyDeleteHi David, they have made a world of difference, and with the chainsaw that John bought we can have any size we want now :)
ReplyDeleteWow Jenny, that is an impressive pile of wood, it makes our corde look small and that maybe we were duped, I don't think we will buy from English again I am sorry to say.but it is avery good feeling when it is delivered and you are safe in the knowledge that you have plenty. keep warm.
