Good mates and neighbours

[Smiffy]

Despite views to the contrary, I see being on good terms with friends and neighbours as a big asset where my prepping is concerned. Below is a recent example of me benefiting.....

A friend phoned me up yesterday to ask if i wanted a load of 4x2 floor joists he had just removed from a property he is doing up, half an hour later two nice big piles like this were delivered onto my drive



Realising it would take me a month of sundays (and a few gallons of sweat) to cut it all up I borrowed this little beast off a neighbour



2 hours later (with no sweating) this was the result



All bone dry, untreated and ready for the woodburner - and more importantly it was completely free of charge
