One of the major advantages ...

... of having a trailer is that you can buy a huge load of wood all at one go and move it back home without any problems.

It might have cost a fortune in tyres but I shudder to think of how many loads to Brico Depot, at 70kms per round trip, I would have had to have made instead of just one trip to the sawmill.

The wood is much, much better quality than at Brico Depot, and about 60% of the price too. Mind you, he cottoned on that he had underquoted me so I replied "well I did try to tell you the other day". So as a reward he heaped on a few more demi-chevrons.

I've had good value from the sawmill and I'll be going back there again.

The trailer pulled nicely with this load on too. Although the trip back was slower, Caliburn never struggled at all.

Once I'd unloaded the trailer I had to take it back to Terry's. Guido has finished with the scaffolding and it needs collecting. I'm busy now until Tuesday so Terry will take the trailer round to Guido's and load it up and then either he can bring it here next time he's passing or I can collect it next time I'm passing.

It's a really useful idea having a trailer.

And the weather? Only 4.5mm of rain today and I'm running out of dry clothes.
