Hi MAK. At great expense we, our chickens, coops, sheds, runs and house contents have arrived.
Bought a Silky 6 metre extending saw for branches, which we have used to great effect.
Cubic metre of wood at local Brico is €89, so that's the target price. Costs about €3 for fuel to cut that with the chainsaw. Then there is the gazole for the van. So a mains electric chainsaw could save €2 but costs £220 (stihl 1400W 300mm bar). Then a day's labour of course- hard work but fun and I've lost half a stone as well clambering up hills and dragging logs around. Splitting is easy so that's the bit my wife does.
We have 6 cubic metres. Not sure it will be enough, even for this tiny place as the fire is inefficient.
Priority is the leaking roof. See what the landlord says tomorrow. Cheap dehumidifiers in Brico at €89 so we have one and are trying to dry the bathroom out. Have a tarpaulin we can throw over it before the forecast thunder storms later. The other problem is frequent power cuts combined with hatching chicks -16 in the storeroom cheeping happily as I type.
