So what is the state of this decking?
Just wondered

I must admit a wood burner could be cheap to run...

seems a shame to burn it really.
there is a massive amount and lots of 3"x2" 20'+ lengths.
I will be using some of it tto build a new roof for my greenhouse and a bit for a work bench .but I don't have a problem burning the rest even with treated wood.
as the title says im not going cold this winter and the energy supplies are forcing people to look for alternatives.
with a bit of luck my irish lotto will come in tomoz and I can warm my house with a new log burner

otherwise the telly dvd player music mixer and stuff will be in the greenhouse with me while im nice and toastie in there.

I wish I hadn't binned my t2 towbar

If I had a trailer the amount of wood I can get for free is... well a lot..
I have a lot of customers which means a lot of contacts
