RossJarvis:
And finally, all in place and wood delivered during a deluge and stacked;





It doesn't look too level with the fence but that can wait, particularly with 1/2 ton of ash in it! :wave:

(If anyone from Scandinavia is curious, that, apparently, is supposed to be about half a winter's worth of burning wood for our climate.  I'd probably use that a lot quicker myself!).

awemawson:
Easy to underestimate how much wood you'll get through.

We've probably used at least half that volume already in the recent colder snap. Admittedly it's only willow and burns very quickly when dry, but - hey - it was free.

I've stacked (I think) 11 jumbo 1 ton bags full in the 'ready to use' log store. (They don't hold a ton of willow), and have another four on stand by under cover, with a further 10 out in the open. I'm sure we'll use all the covered ones this winter. I have another 10 jumbos of Yew ready for next year, but burning the willow first as otherwise it'll rot away to nothing.

DaveH:
Well Ross, that does look rather splendid  :clap:

RossJarvis:
Cheers guys.

Awemawson, as Pekka said, this type of store is more of an "entertainment".  Toni only has one small log burner to assist the Central Heating, possibly more as an aesthetic assistance.   She's hoping this'll last about 3 months, I could easily see lot that going in our house in 4 weeks or less.  It's Ash, which reportedly burns very well and leaves little 'ash'.  Here in Hampshire, where we're closer to France than we are to most of the UK, the weather's generally very mild.  A week of -1 or so and everyone complains of a new Ice-age!!

AussieJimG:
Log stores are  bit too flash for the fringes of civilisation.
