Got Wood? (cr. Case)

So I have lost my mind and forgotten to Internet. Link to pick what you want and prices below x

Hey. Thanks for sorting this! Crumpet would like about 1 cubic metre of wood, maybe a little bit more. Do you reckon one crate would be about the equivalent? Or maybe 1 and a half large dumpy bags, if anyone needs a half (maybe split the second one with Mojo?)

Happy to sort it, I’m sure we can work something out! Mojo won’t need more than half a large bag I don’t think.

I have added the sheet to this thread :)

@dean20 have a look on their website for the crate size : http://www.exeterlogs.co.uk/pricelist.htm

It looks like a crate is about 2 cubic meter. Panravia needs 1 cubic meter so we could potentially split the crate between our 2 camps?

@sabrina63 It's a bit of a tricky one as "1 cubic metre" normally refers to the wood being quite closely packed in that volume. In the picture, it looks like the dumpy bags are closely packed whereas the crate is quite loose (hence the comparative cheapness of the crate for that volume).

@tara10 could you possible get them on the phone and work out roughly what the trade off between bags and crates is in actual quantity of wood?

Hi Sabrina, shall I put you down for one large dumpy bag, as this is about 3/4s of a loose load. Could this be what you need?

Ah good stuff. If you could both let me know by the 11th? I’ll get the order in!

We'll want about half a big bag if you want to share that Tara? (we'd both pay less and get slightly less 325 vs 340 cm³⁾ Otherwise we'd like a small bag please

Oh, and we would like hardwood rather than softwood or pine please - it's for a firepit that will be used for cooking

And apparently I was failing at maths yesterday. Put 000 after each of those numbers of cm^3!

Sheet and comment below :) x

I have added to the sheet a small dumpy for you guys and one for us as we need a mix of soft and hard x

I’m not really sure what the size is in no mathematical understanding terms, but the unit we get at home is usually the back of a range-rover truck load...

Hi Dean, sure I’ll call them tomorrow and get some further information for us all. I’ll then stick up a spreadsheet for both Loomio and FB to get this order started. Thanks for your patience I’m juggling a lot at work and home - should be back to normal come tomorrow 👍 x

Hi all, I spoke to the company. They said that one large dumpy bag is the equivalent of one crate. I am not sure if that helps? Either way: I’ll attach a spread sheet for peoples orders and upload for you to fill out.
Exeter logs want to know the order no later than Friday next week, so I’ll share this to the Facebook Nest page too :)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10DsJ3olO_nrUypLskI0uvshEoNYOyl5NmfJwydHfNc4

The doc is editable now too! Sorry 😂

It's still only in suggestion mode for me. I've sent a request for editing access.

Anyway, Camp Crumpet will take 1.5 large dumpy bags. Thanks for your work on this! <3

Hi Dean,

Thanks! I have updated again after asking a youth how to Internet...
I have updated the spreadsheet - do you want hard logs/ soft/ a mixture of both?

Just hardwood please! xx

Payment details have now been added :)

Do you have a taker for your other half bag? (I can't remember if I saw something. We'd be a relevant sharer)

I have seen that @aussiefred wants to share a bag if that helps?

Added :)

I've put the order into the sheet, I have found my 1/2 bag takers.

Perfect :) thanks!

A small bag is approximately the same volume as half a large bag. @case1 or @aussiefred would you be willing to share 2 big bags between us, with us paying for and taking 1.5 bags worth? (You can keep the actual bag if you like, for convenience) If not, we'll change our order to one large bag and one small one.

It works out as cheaper to share a bag, hence us looking (if no one wants to share we'll get a small one, but I would like to try to save the camp budget a little bit!)

So yes please, order 2 bags and I'll get you £55 and a way for us to move the wood around :-) (I am a bear of little brain today)

OK cool. Tara has suggested I pay £165 and you pay £55, or would you prefer I cover it and then you pay me back?

Cool, if we both pay Tara that works. Time to go do it!

Hi Dean, I think that was the cost of what you were after - adjust it any way you need for the order you are placing 🙂

@dean20 Case has paid £55 now - are you sorting the rest?

I’m up for sharing. I’m trying to avoid loading, unloading or double handling. My hope is my small bag fits dropped up top at the camping fields.
I imagine they will only drop bag to bag in the requested locations

So I think I’m out.

Hey,

Exeter Logs said they would drop the delivery at several different places in the site as long as it was along the road, including free camping, and someone will have a wheel barrow or trolley to assist I'm sure...does that help?
Thanks
Tara

The barrow problem is exactly what I'm avoiding by getting our own. So I'll stick with a small.

maybe don't share the address as this forum is public?

Sorry I thought it was private to Nest goers. I’ll delete it. Thanks for getting in touch.

no worries! :)

Hey hey, when is the delivery? (apologies if I'm being dense). (all the panic of trying to work out camp timelines) (decides it's time for bed, y'all just gave me a new platform to keyboard spew on)

Heyaaaa, woods going to be delivered Monday - I have the site map so I can tell Exeter Logs where they can drop individual orders to each camp. Don’t panic it’s all covered 🙂

You are a magic human (does this mean I don't get to play with my shiny new Go Outdoors membership card to buy a trolley to move ours down from Crumpet? sadface (seriously avoid that shop. So tempting. Although most of the spend was essentials. Like hi-viz actually waterproof cycling gloves))
