Interestingly it was three weeks later than we have received it for the last two years and had increased in price slightly. BUT...
When you think M Bourreau, who is in his eighties, has cut down, sawn up, transported and matured the wood. He has then re-cut it into 50cm lengths and split where necessary and then loaded the trailer and driven it to our house... All on his own!!! He certainly has earned his money.
We get the same trailer load of six steres, which generally sees us through the winter. We are fortunate that the house is well insulated and maintains its heat for long periods.
All the remains now is to stack it up. Elizabeth!!!!
At least it keeps you fit and works up an appetite. I like to think we will still be doing it into our eighties!!!
All completed and sheeted in about an hour and a half...
With a brew in between of course.
To see a comparison follow the links to - Wood 2011 and Wood 2012
Note... Elizabeth begs to differ about wood stacking in her eighties... Ahhh Well.

Six steres sounds like a lot of money, but if that's the cost of heating for the whole year, it's not bad at all.
And if you move the log pile around every so often the exercise will warm you up so that you use even less than before !!
Jean, I'll put on another woolly jumper and my extra thermal thermals if need be, but that wood pile's staying put!! Love Elizabeth x
