Ray,
Wouldn't those old rails make good firewood? Or are they soaked with
creosote?

 Hi All
 
 Well we replaced the last 88 feet of wooden 3 x2 fence rails yesterday with
 top cap 50 galvanised steel channels.
 
 These channels are   like a pyramid shape with a one inch flat on the bottom
 feet and a one inch flat at the top.
 
 You screw the feet directly to the galvanised posts and the fence sheets are
 screwed to the one inch top thus hiding the screws inside the pyramid.
 
 Now I will have to cut up the wood rails ready for dispatch to the dump.
 
 Another job completed.

Hi Tom

 yes they would make good fire wood, they are not treated with any toxic
stuff.

We do not have a wood fire anymore, I will call my work car driver he has a
wood fire and might like them a good thought.

I've always wanted a fire place, but know lots of people whove had them
and had them removed for the mess.  Of course around here burning is pretty
much frowned upon lots of the time.
