3 cubic metres of logs is a lot more than you'd expect! 19.01.13

We get a call saying the logs will be delivered this morning, but that they will be delivered to the back of the house.

We spend some time clearing out the barn to make sure there is enough room for the logs.

We go out and meet them and they are dropped at the bottom of the garden. John has the fun of wheel barrowing 3 cubic metres of logs across the garden and I have the fun of stacking them in the barn.

This takes a few hours and there is still snow on the floor.

We’re knackered but at least we have logs. I can’t believe how many logs there are in 3 cubic metres, the barn is full and tonight we have a very hot fire.

Top tips

1.       3 cubic metres is a lot!!!!!!

2.       Make sure that you have enough space for that many logs

3.       Logs when bought tend to come in 50cm lengths make sure that your wood burner is big enough, or that you own a chainsaw so that they can be cut to size (we will be buying one tomorrow!)
