If anyone is interested in a couple of hours work to saw this pile into chunks for a wood burning stove, please contact Mike and Sue on 334. Alternatively, if you know of someone who might be interested, please ring or add a comment below.
A buzz saw would be a decided advantage for this job!
p.s. The pots don’t need chopping!



if you bought a hand saw and cut them up yourselves then perhaps you ‘wood’ not need a wood burner to keep warm ……….
Thanks for the very helpful and green suggestion. Use of hand saws would also be very historic as I seem to remember the pilgrim fathers used them when they were hacking their way from Boston to San Francisco. They did smell a bit sweaty though. It was Otto Van Chainsaw’s breakthrough invention that saved the day!
Thanks for the history lesson. Of course, the ancient Britons managed to clear 95% of the UK with stone axes. I forgot to mention, by the look of your photo, it looks like your sitting room could do with a bit of a makeover, and your green shagpile is looking a little threadbare. I have managed to borrow Roger Federer’s tennis bat, so I am OK for your Swiss Racquette evening ……….
In the early nineteenth century there was a wheelwright’s business based at Rookery House and I wonder if the remains of the building in the above picture were used for the workshop? The wheelwright himself, Thomas Alsop, lived in a house, now demolished, on the current Parwich Primary School site.
Sorry this doesn’t help to get the wood chopped up.
