Ok ladies...
I need wood.
I am hoping someone here knows about some secret stash that's cheap so I can have beautiful fires this winter.
ATM the prices I am looking at are about 250-300 for a tonne (or maybe it's half a tonne...). But I know there is cheaper and I know you have to travel (which I don't mind) I just want to know where it is!
Can you help me???
I might be able to bribe you with baked goods...
Rouge try gumtree in the freebies section. I saw alot of free wood (you have to remove it yourself) in Syd a few weeks ago
its going to be hard this year darl cos its been so wet, i can ask my dad, he worked for tree loppers so has connections
Could you?! That would be awesome. I've seen lots on gumtree, but it's always gone by the time I look.
Oh wow that is expensive! The going rate out here is only $100 - $150 per tonne.
$110 per cubic metre down my way. Any other year we could have helped you out, but wet weather and DH having a hurt hand means we have to buy in rather than cut our own.
We always get free fire wood when a neighbour cuts a tree down LOL! If you ever need someone with a chainsaw, let me know. DH has one and LOVES an excuse to use it :lol:.
Last year my parents and us went halves in a truck load, it worked out to be $300 ish each. We got some from FIL's work this year. We did have to spilt it though (when I say we I mean DH lol). Quite often I see trailers on the side of the road full of wood for under $100.
We need to start looking too, we can use the heaters but nothing beats a nie warm fire in winter :)
i've looked in the local paper and it looks like the going rate is $110m3. is that any good?
Thanks everyone :) We've actually sourced a really good environmentally friendly solution. Going to check it out, but it's roughly half the price of wood. Works out to be about $6/18kgs. The energy rating vs normal wood/electricity/gas also works out to be the cheapest too.
Environmentally friendly??????????:
Well more environmentally friendlier then regular fire wood There's still emissions, but it's recycled wood from a flooring company that burns more efficiently and is made using off cuts rather than wood specifically cut for fire wood.
where is it from? would be interested myself...
Moorabbin. If you want details let me know and I'll PM.
You want wood huh? *raises eyebrows suggestively*
Cheap wood........
:p
This was pretty much DF's reaction too. Said he was surprised with the new direction BB has taken..:
That's pretty much how the conversation went this morning when I rang DH and said I wanted some wood... :wiggle:
