    Talking Free Redgum for me

    Hi,

    Following on from the post by VSquizz regarding the 'firewood' he picked up.

    I was at a job the other day and I see the blokes woodpile contains 12" X 12" Redgum in really good nick, all cut up waiting to go in his fire. :eek:

    I say to this bloke, where do you get your wood from? He tells me that he works for the local council, removing and replacing bridges and such and that the timbers from the bridges he uses for firewood. So I ask when he might be removing his next bridge and what if any would be available for me. He tells me, help yourself, just call in a couple of weeks and I'll let you know. WOO BLUDDY HOO. I'll post pics when I have some in my hot little hands, you know, just to gloat and stuff

    Dan
    Is there anything easier done than said?

    Dan, were you in uniform and driving a work van, if so no wonder he's willing to share in this bounty.

    Hi.
    Youll have to join the Vic Police Force first, and do the 3 month training course.
    Then, and only then, will you be allowed to get your grubby little mitts on our Red Gum.

    Peter, Yes, was working.

    Reeves, see what I can do.

    Al, don't belittle my suffering, it was 4 1/2 months. (or if you're dumb like me, 5 1/2)

    Ken, you'd be amazed how much free wood you can get into the back of the van.

    DanP,

    Don't know about the purloined wood; but I know you can fit 22 sailor boys in the back of an XA Falcon van. Mind you, the top row went in vertically..
