Finally for @Cowboy254 ...some photos!
This is the pile of wood my tree surgeon buddy had for me a couple of weeks back.. a mix of oak, sweet chestnut and some cypress. It took 4 mud flap dragging car loads but it ALL came home except the punky stuff far left.
2/3rds of that is in this 'too be bucked' pile on my patio now. yes...yes...it needs bucking. most of that is about 1-3" too long for my ickle stoves...annoyingly.
the rest that was already short enough...stayed out front and is mostly now split and stacked against the front wall, which is south facing and dries the wood well although this is winter 21/22 wood anyway. That's almost half a cord
then today.... all the pine appeared on my lawn!
I had to drop a parcel at the corner shop so walked out to get my '1 session of exercise out the house' currently allowed and drop it off, while practicing my social distancing and keeping at least 2m away from the very few people I saw. I was 10 mins walk away, turned the corner to see a tree surgeon working (odd, as most aren't because of the lock down). He was harnessed up about to climb the already cleaned stem and ring it down, and just starting his 880. A bit big for a climbing saw, i had to ask to check it wasn't a 660...no it was an 880. Anyway, I told him if he wanted a place nearby to drop the logs I was 2-3 mins away and he could drop the lot on my lawn
. As I helped him unload his truck a few hours later he told me he was working outside his own flat....seems he is very local....well a place to drop logs that is easy to get to and very local to home....that could be very handy for a tree surgeon...particularly if that place is equipped with a 365 and can easily deal with stuff that isn't all bucked small....Mooohahahahahahahaa! I have a new contact.
Now....is google photos playing ball? can you see them?
