Afternoon folks :).

Cut some wood today, Had to get 4m lengths as need 2.1. Anyway the off cuts will be used in the "east wing" ceiling so not waste.
So 16 pieces cut then laid out and treated for water/mushroom/bugs spray, mixed twice as strong as recommended so hope it lasts, it wont touch the ground when in place so fingers crossed.

First 5 cube of firewood coming later today, Prices have gone up;) but they are cheaper this time of year cos nobody needs it, but they need to earn a living. M got 50lv(£20-25) discount cos he also knows we will want about 20 in total. Although last year we only used 12. but it wont go to waste;).

Nice day here to work outside and hope the grass is dry enough tomorrow to get a good mangling;).

Getting close to looking at the pool, as we are solar battery full by midday and not using what's available time to turn on the 1.5kw pump for 8hrs:).
Was even brave and lifted the lid on the hot tub today, water looks good but may change it this year and give it a good clean.

Lots to do, summers coming and our favorite eatery opens in a week:vb-banana::vb-banana:.

Yep same ere, pressure treated forget it. It’s sprayed good and soaking now, will give it another going over when in place after drilling fixing oles, as I said it’s off the ground so should be ok.

As for burning wood it worked out at 140lv a cube so about €70 (£60 ish) but it’s is mostly oak:), once stacked it will sit under cover to dry. Use what’s left from last year first and will burn lovely:).

They have just been and the tipper was broken :oops:. They started hand balling it off and weren’t happy.
So their eyes lit up when I started the digger and pushed most of it off:).

We changed our log merchant 2yrs ago...ordered 1 ton he turned up with a huge pile in the truck I only wanted 1 ton it was 1 ton of perfectly seasoned oak cut to fit the stove lasted the whole winter and as wood burner has a flat top did most of our cooking on it never mind heating the whole house...he keeps it covered and dry unlike some here who water it before weighing it...cost was 160€...
