Hi all

As a member of the common house group and keen to have a cosy room I've done a bit of googling about firewood. Looks like around $1300 for 10 cubic metres.

	Gum (per m3)	Macrocarpa	Other
Timber direct Abbotsford			Oregon $120	Burnable now
City firewood Old Brighton Rd	$135 per m3	$125	Hot mix poplar and gum $110m3 Old man pine $110	Claims very dry
Quality firewood Kaikorai Valley Rd	$135	$135	Old man pine $120
Firewood Dunedin Ravensbourne	$120	$120	Old man pine $195	A review claims wood was wet

All deliver free. It may take more than one load for the amount we need. Dryness is really important. From a quick look at our burner manual I think it recommends soft wood have a year of seasoning, hard wood 2 years. City Firewood seems to emphasise that its wood is well seasoned.

If anyone can endorse any of these suppliers or has any other favourite suppliers that would be great.

The partly covered concrete path behind the common room looks fine for storage - with a tarpaulin.
