So we've had 1/2 cord of firewood stacked in our garage for 3 + years, and we've had maybe 4 fires in that time so I'd like to get rid of it. Any ideas on who would help me remove it? Or where I could pack it up and dump it?
Thanks |

lamojo, if you can find a way to deliver it to Howlong New South Wales I would be so grateful - even though I have no idea how much a 'cord' is! We purchase firewood in cubic metres, and use about a cubic metres per month - we have a cold winter ahead of us. I'm serious, even though I know you can't supply us - quaratine laws would get in the way (dang it!). We pay around $80 per m3 so you'd make decent money... |

Just how cold does it get in New South Wales in the winter? |

Joanne - CORD = a unit of wood cut for fuel equal to a stack 4 x 4 x 8 feet or 128 cubic feet
so it's a stack about 1.3 by 1.3 by 2.6 meters. (if I converted correctly) |

Upondaroof, the other morning it was -5.4 degrees C at around 7 a.m which is quite cold for here. It's usually around +1 or so at daybreak, and in mid-winter will go to maybe 10 or 14 degrees C on a clear blue-skies day. We hav eonly jsut started measuring wind-chill, and I usually ignore it as I work inside. In summer our days frequently hit 40 degrees C, and nighttime is mid- to high 20s. And we're in southern NSW, inland and along a river. Other bits near mountains get snowy and colder (or wetter and more tropical if you move higher north like near Byron Bay or the Gold Coast).
yeah - conversion factors are not my thing - I failed maths abysmally in my final year of high school! luckily didn't need it at university or since 
Suzanne, thanks for the measurements; lamojo, I'd take you're firewood despite NOT being a Wiggle. I live near a town called Wagga Wagga, another called Tangambalanga, or there's Yackandandah or Barnawatha...do silly names help in the kids' stakes?

Walla walla, Walbunderie, Jerilderie, Tallangatta, Gerogery, The Rock, Uranquinty, Yerongpilly, Mulwala, Yarrawonga...
Back in the 60s I think it was a guy named Lucky Starr sang 'I've been everywhere' (probably based on a US song)...lists most of the then small towns in Australia. Reads a bit like a Postcode (zipcode) book.
Oh and today's forecast, for the curious: -2.9 degreesC at 6 am [thirty minutes ago], frosty, max temp expected will be 15 degrees C, fine and sunny
Joanne, wishing she knew a Wiggle - are any still single?? |
