Was that a free load or a free bloody forest?

[98tls]

Awhile back a mate asked if i needed any firewood:woohoo:not about to turn it down weeeks later we are still at it with many more loads to come.Its turned into a weekly thing with the 3 of us heading away,its only a 1/2 hour drive there and theres a log splitter supplied,:innocent:bit embarrassing really as all we have to do is cut it into rings and split away.:facepalm:Few pics fwiw.

[98tls]

Even the bloody dog found something to occupy himself with.:facepalm:Not sure what it was but hey.:innocent:

LOL!! My mate called me a couple of days ago with some free fire wood. A big pine has been felled across the road & sawn into rings, lovely me thinks. We load the trailer to the point of collapse, get home & unload. It's a mighty pile!
Any hoo, mate gives me his splitter, big axe thingy & I go to work on it. It must be a bloody a rubber tree, the splitter just bounces. arse, feck, vank!
Fire wood- free
Hydraulic splitter - $100
Feeling like a skinny useless pratt - Priceless

Nice looking HQ in the pics Mike. We've paid $230 for split firewood in the past month & I'm starting to think electrickery might be a cheaper option to heat our home. That said there's nothing quite like the warmth from a log burner :yes:

The consequences of a good vindaloo?

Who would have thought firewood could be so interesting to photograph and document.

If you have to buy wood, then the electricity used by a heat pump will be cheaper than wood. No question.

I used to "buy" my firewood from the IHC. $50 for enough wood to see me through winter. The best bit... watching them come and deliver it. Stacked piece by piece, by a bunch of wonderful people. Funniest part was watching one of the guys "unloading" the trailer, he was randomly throwing it in the air :rofl:


Your excused.:innocent:

Dont! Just dont. He put a cushion on the office chair, lovely and soft :yes:

You have heard of whoopie cushions eh? Well this one is a "fart" cushion. Holds the aroma for ages :rockon:

Innocently go to sit down and get the distinct aroma of Maha gas :sick:

Sucks to be him tonight, without being too crude, he may be getting a little surprise himself when he sits down here next :innocent:

My father-in-law ran the local IHC firewood crew for a number of years, I spent some time with them (about 6 weeks) it was pure madness on a scale I struggled to comprehend.

Lots of smiles from everyone though, The special needs students loved interacting with society.

well, apart from the sulking ones.

And that one guy on a double leash and two full time handlers.

And when the giant one picked me up in a bear hug and threw me around like a rag-doll.

And the one that kept on wanting to shake hands and always had dribble all over his hands.

And the one that never stopped talking, ever, never stopped,on and on and on.

And the one that smelt like pee.

well, they all smelled like pee.

The ones that smelt like poo were another story altogether.

And one interesting thing I found out, Most of them don't register the signals from their stomach that they are full, so if you don't remove the food they just keep eating, and eating, and eating, then they start throwing up, usually directly on what they are eating.

Get an entire table of that shit happening and then you know a thing or two.

Then you get to clean them up, remove the food, clean the table, the floor, wash the clothes....

ah yes, plenty of smiles all around.

Thats the fuckin life.
