Wood Required

[shirley]

We have recently had a wood burner installed.  Looking for a wood supplier close to Thury Harcourt- Normandy.  Does anyone know of a supplier who delivers and what the cost would be for a good load.[:)][:D]

Shirley I can't help you regarding your specific area - sorry.  The price for wood seems very variable, it goes up and down like a yo yo around here.   The price is also dependent on your area.   If you budget on around 50 euros for a cord (or 4 steres) plus delivery costs, you probably won't be too far out.   However, since I have no idea what size your house is, how often you are there, and what other heating you have (or don't have) then I couldn't begin to guess how much wood you might need.   But perhaps you have an idea already.   All I can say is that last winter was our first winter here, and we chopped up what seemed a massive amount to us.   Stood, looked at it, congratulated ourselves on a job well done, and how it would keep us warm all winter.   Hit the first really cold spell and it was all gone in 2 weeks ........ we were delusional ! (sp?)

Have you asked your neighbours ?

Also, around here at this time of year, there are loads of signs up on side of road which say that burning wood is available for sale.

I am sure someone in your area can be more specific though - just that your post looked lonely, and since it was your first one, and its raining too much to continue barrowing sand, I am sitting here bored.

Oh I have made an error and I don't know how to correct it.   I mean to say 50 euros a stere, not 50 euros a cord.   Sorry Shirley.  Thus 200 euros a cord.
