No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

We bought in some of these bales a few years ago and loved them, no problem removing the inner wrap. Wish my own contractor used it. Feckin hate the net.

The value in firewood is in the work in turning growing/knocked trees into something you can burn.

Anyone who ever sold a load of firewood knows this.

*edit - on re-reading, I think you're in agreement.

If they were spruce trees I'd say something but mature ash trees...plentiful or not they are valuable.

As pointed out previously fookers would rather pay for it than do any bit of work to make firewood for themselves & then moan about cost of living

Take one good ash tree as an example

Ring it & put into an open shed to season, easy split it then for firewood.

Nah rather pay 8€ for 2 split rings of spruce on a plastic bag...gimme a break

I would think that's an awful lot of timber to burn in a day! I mustn't be doing too bad so as I'd hardly be able to stay in the house if I did. It's not modern or small either an old house with no wall insulation, about 2500sq ft I'd say.

Realised at 9am that the normal bus to Dublin that goes at 20 past the hour, doesn't go at 9 20 on a Sunday. Had to drive young lad to Dublin to football. Hate driving in Dublin and had other stuff I should have been doing at home. When he was playing locally I could get someone to give him a lift.

I had to drive my sister and a friend into Dame street/city centre late last summer which was a journey that I used to do for work three or four times a week between 2000 and 2012. Sweet Jesus, never again.
