Did that stake *really* cost 4 quid?

3.99 to be precise! It did seem a bit steep at the time, but I was doing
a "one-stop-shop", and so I just paid up.

It's worth looking in yellow pages for small country sawmills for that sort
of thing. They are getting more common now portable bandmills are quite
cheap and estates are trying to add value to their timber rather than
selling round logs for peanuts as they used to.

I'll bear that in mind for future ref.

Thanks for the advice,

Regards

Paul
