Default Railway sleepers

We got a load of them last year, we got the good condition used ones
(full of Tar)(but they'll never rot!!)


Nifty!

and got them delivered for £12 a piece!


Wow....iS this a special?...
Or do you think I could possible find some like that ?

The only real pain is cutting them, I only had a bow saw and it took
allot of puff.


Stuff that....My friend has a circular saw!


Railway sleepers that have been treated with creosote 'tar stuff' will
weep creosote on hot weather and it is very messy, also anything treated
with creosote, and creosote itself is off limits on June 30th when its
sale is banned (EU law). Better to buy the non treated ones that are
brought in from the continent, or new ones. Incidentally for those who
like the smell of creosote Wickes have brought out a creosote substitute
which even smells like the original.
