Saronne Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Word of my wood wombling eccentricity is getting around...A kindly neighbour just let me know of rather a lot of timber offcuts free for the collecting. Another rang me up and offered me a mature holly tree (minus the leaves). I am deliriously happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 us wombles are easily pleased! I noticed that my 'wood to be cut pile' has increased, and a neighbour confessed to having lobbed a few joists over the fence and onto it!

Olly Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Someone knocked on the door last week - a man delivering cards offering tree cutting services. Would I like some wood? (He'd spotted the pile of logs on the drive). Half an hour later he delivered what appears to be an entire sycamore tree in pieces! I should think there's about half a ton of wood, and I'll need a friend with a petrol chain saw as it's too big for my electric one. I am into year 5 with my woodburner and have not bought wood yet. Wombling is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have accumulated a lot of free logs/offcuts, but cannot find it in my heart to turn any down. You never know if these windfalls will ever come your way again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm the same Saronne I was getting sackloads of free wood from work through the winter, and had them piled up on my patio so they were easy to access. I don't think i touched my actual woodpile at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
