Some People!!??!!
The council came today to chop down some trees from the reserve (que flo for the dramatic songs)
They were cutting big pieces up for peeps to help themselves, so of course i had to go get some wood
Any way, having no wheel barrow i was struggling a tad when a very kindly man in a rather fetching florecent jacket asks me where i would like some wood put. So i asked if i could have the long bits ("as i have a chainsaw!!"). So he got a tipper and dumped three rather large logs over my fence The as i was saying thanks i quipped "if you have any more of that just bung it over. Saves you cutting it up and you'll get home early!"
I go off to help with PMP at school only to come back and find half the contents of the reserve in my back yard. Imagine my excitement!!!
HUP comes home and i tell him my great tale and ask him if he wants me to go get the torch so as he can view the new pile.
"eerrm, no. You're alright" was his crap reply
He says we can't all get so excited about wood as me
A good result though, we probably have enough fire wood for NEXT winter now

so that'll be the last time you'll be asking a bloke to lay a log in your garden?

You`ll have to watch out now for neighbours asking to borrow a log instead of the usual cup of sugar!

over the weekend .. hubby went to bunnings to buy some lengths of wood .. couple of hours later he returns.. with a grin and a pile of planks.. "see you've got some wood" I say ( I was trying to sound intersted in some scabby planks of wood). Well anyway, he said he was walking around bunnings and this one man was picking out planks of wood... so hubby couldn't get to pick his out until this man had finished picking his.. so hubby goes in another direction, returns in 20 minutes.. and man was still picking his wood out ( trying to get the best pieces.. as some of them are warped, and dented).. so off goes hubby again, and returns again.. man still there... anyway an hour later! ( and they call us women bad for taking their time while shopping... men are worse!) .. man had gone... his wood was piled up, the man had obviously gone to get a trolley for his prized pieces of wood.. so hubby grabs man's prized wood for himself... the poor man took an hour choosing those planks of wood, and along comes hubby and grabs them.. the bad B8stard.
anyway, you're lucky my hubby isn't your neighbour.. your logs would mysteriously disappear over night... he gets a bit excited over wood. rocks are my thing... I'm trying to build a boulder wall.. and I'll be damned if I am going to pay big bucks for it.
(p.s .. a tip for anyone who's having a house built, when the builders knock off in the evening .. go rob your own bricks ( well they're not yours really).. they come in handy for later, like building letter boxes etc. I knicked two pallet loads when they were building our house... ( they, the builders just think the neighbours nick them..lol)
cheers
