Got Wood!

[mike4gtl]

Keep your daughters locked up today and tomorrow because we are having a weekend of wood and you know what they say, if a peckers got wood............ collect it, split it and stack it (traditional french style).

The F6 & Land Rover are being stacked to the gunnels each time before journeying 23 miles back home. Our winter supplies are drying up!

Its amazing how much the renault can carry. I could have kept pileing it in too, but i was sensible.

I forgot to say Quote " The worlds most versatile wheel-barrow"

How come the LandRover wasn't loaded to the gunnells inside too?

It had a wheel barrow inside + many other tools, straps and saws, but it did have wood inside just not as much. More pics coming of the second trip.

Splitting & Stacking

Inbetween colletcing wood we were taking down this barn from cambridge university which is to be erected at a friends. it is 1 year old and needed to be demolished my monday so we saved it

Our very good friend Martin bought his ferguson TED 20 over to give it a run. It is its first day out of the workshop since restoration (99% complete).

And it performed to a T. It only used 3 gallons of Vaporising oil. I was incharge of stacking after it was split.

Excellent wood cutting skills!

I thought you'd sold the F6 though? Or am I missing something / more confused than usual...

I feel stiff today...

So there is one more half load to collect tonight and about half a days splitting still to be done. We swapped over and i started stacking, I built a lovley pile and as i walked away to get a trolly i heard the sound of logs rolling and as i looked around half of it collapsed. I took a big sigh and decided to call it a day. Wee have been going since 9am to 6pm both saturday and sunday and now we ache.

There are two more big trees to come down still, so Ian i might bring you some wood down as you are no doubt running out :lol:
