That
job
can wait a few months when it should be nicely dried out.

Er, logs for fire or sell to someone who sells logs for fires?

I am one step ahead of you on that one, we have a woodburning stove of our
own and apart from the massive pile of branches for the bonfire I also
have
40 to 50 X 3 to 4 ft long, log sized lengths stacked next to the air raid
shelter. Yes our garden contains a brick built semi subterranean air raid
shelter. We did not know it was there when we bought the house and only
discovered it when I decided to clear a big mound covered in ivy.
Surprise,
surprise, the big mound had a door and steps leading down to an 8 ft
square
room.

Just been down there and retrieved the winter wheels for the Subaru so
that
my dearly beloved stands a better chance of getting to work over the next
few months as the weather here seems to be getting somewhat colder.

If you know any one with a lathe offer them some , my father has recycled
our yews into salt and pepper mills, egg cups and some rather nifty pens!
