can't get much better than that Jim. ta.

unfortunately, means I'll need a swimming pool or something like.

I was just hoping to fill large drums full of water. Which I could do I spose, but means I can only fill up the very bottom with timber. Was thinking deoxygenised water in plastic drums so could use all the volume. And I would definetly have space for say 1/2 a dozern drums. (maybe there's an earn there for someone....a proven product you add to water that deoxyengenyesss water without any ill effects to timber)

just not looking forward to going to all that effort ruff cutting tons of this stuff (having a big guess and therefore wasting a bit),,,waxing it,,,stacking it,,,,and then loosing half of it because its prone to cracking.

May not even happen anyway,,,,but good info in anycase,,,thanks kindly for all the thoughts.
