My friend has a old wood and if I manage it by thinning I get the hard wood free

last year we heated the house all winter on free hardwood we do have gas central heating but it was never needed

I think im Scottish as I even heat the kettle on it for hot water bottle and cup's of tea

I have a near unlimited supply of pallets from work

just need a wood burner now

I pick them up for a mate as and when and he looks after me if I jeed any tools, welding, or help with my Air Rifle or Car lol

Remeber when I needed a vice to do my UJ's?

I cant wait to rip my gas fire out. Even though its a living flame, instant heat with no mess,very controllable gas powered jobbie

So for now I will do the same as I have for the past few years.
Sit in my 17'x12' very brightly lit greenhouse with that uneconomical log burner down there and paint my airfix

(im 45 year old kid).with a wine or two.
last winter when it was snowing it was 40 degrees in my greenhouse.

either way I am not going cold for no one.
with having so much free fuel I am thinking of ripping the fire out and having an open fire till funds allow a burner.
although the one I brought for the green house is now very used it only cost 100 quid off ebay 7 years ago.

Our neighbours ripped out their open fire place and chimney a few years ago...FOOLS
And now have a nice clean

but very expensive to run gas jobbie, I did try and tell him to leave the chimney at least.

A load and a half of my logs.
Heating, cooking and hot water at mine is logs only. Don't even have an electric oven.
