I'm still waiting for BT (British Telecommunications) to repair my phone line after the storm damage on the 23rd Dec.
Until then I can only borrow a computer when visiting friends. My neighbors, who work from home, are also waiting for BT.
I hate to think what would happen to communications if we had a MAJOR catastrophic storm here....
Meanwhile, I'm making the most of all the FREE firewood that surrounds me.... :

Our son did a semester at Lancaster U. in 2010. The day he arrived they were having a snowstorm that literally shut down everything in the area. he called home and said he couldn't understand what the problem was as there was only a few inches on the ground.
Whadda you spect from a Maine hick.

One of my fondest memories of Texas -- spent a night at Chisos Mountain resort in Big Bend Nat. Park. Elevation maybe 5000 ft. up there and we got a skiff of snow overnight -- beautiful white stuff on the cactus next morning. And they (Nat Park Service) shut her down! Barricades on the roads so you wouldn't try to drive anywhere. For maybe 1/2" snow that melted through to pavement the moment you drove on it . All in your point of view and what you are used to handling.
I think you have the best of all things there, game keeper -- plenty of firewood and no communications. Sounds mighty fine!

I wonder if they will pro rate your next bill. Waiting over 2 weeks seems a bit long. Maybe BT will have a layoff to pay for the cost of repairs. lol

Something how we all "need" this internet garbage. I was perfectly happy before I got online back in '98.
Just curious Gamekeeper, how much does a cord of wood sell for in your parts? Here in the states, a cord of wood is 4'x4'x8' and usually runs $180-$225 in my part of Pennsylvania and that's all quality hardwood.----6

I never buy cordwood, I have enough trees where I live but the price varies a lot, $124 to $176 seems average.
Most folks buy logs already cut and the price of cut logs varies a heck of a lot, people new to log fires get ripped off with green wood, light loads and poor firewood.

Glad you got that free wood. That can be worth a lot when there is no other way of heating.

Hah! That sure sounds familiar. People are the same all over.
