I heat the dacha, the bathhouse and the greenhouse with free firewood all winter! I tell you where I get them in a completely legal way
What is the cheapest way to heat - gas, coal, wood, mining or diesel fuel? One can argue over this for a long time, but the cheapest thing is to drown with something that gets free! Do you think that this cannot be? We also doubted this until we talked with our subscriber Sergei. For five seasons he has been heating the country house, bathhouse and greenhouse with free firewood. Where does he get them - read on!
No gas, and no need!
After retirement, it took me into my head to move out of town to live in nature, grow a vegetable garden, raise chickens, and relax with my soul. In general, to live a full life after 40 years of "plowing" at the plant. But there was no savings for a full-fledged house: he gave almost all the money to his son so that he would not get into mortgage bondage and immediately bought his own home. And he gave his apartment to his daughter. In general, I acted as a father should do. I decided to buy a dacha myself, gradually put it in order and live out my life on it.
I found a suitable dacha with a nice house, a bathhouse and a well-kept garden. Everything on it suited me, but only no gas. Rather, not yet, but for several years they promised to hold it. Well, there is no gas, and no need! In the meantime, I had to drown stove firewood. As a result, I bought this dacha, insulated the house, and began to prepare for the first winter outside the city.
A friend suggested where to get free firewood
Once a friend called me and said: "Do not buy firewood, I will help you with them for the first time." And he did not deceive! Three days later I brought a car of broken pallets. I paid him only for fuel (gas) - everything else was free, he says, they gave it up for that. In a few days, I disassembled these pallets, sawed them and put them in the barn. I think I’ll call him, or maybe they’ll give him up for something else? I have a house, a bathhouse, and a greenhouse in the end!
I call him and ask. He replies that there is nothing in the warehouse where he took the pallets for the first time, but there will be later, but for now, open Avito and type: “I will give firewood for free, pickup». Well, I'm a modern pensioner, I even know how to use a laptop, so I immediately registered there and... I found 34 advertisements about free firewood in my city. I call, I ask... They answer me - "Come, take it." I answered them - "And where to come, how much will you give?" Their words made me happy! They said that at least on Kamaz, but if it is not there, you can come by car.
In general, I took a chainsaw, a hacksaw, a hammer, a nail puller, a crowbar; I installed a trailer on my Nexia and went for free firewood. It turned out that people had dismantled the old wooden house and in order not to spend money on the export and loading of this lumber, they gave it away for free. By the way, there was also quite efficient forest, which I also took and used to repair the barn and building a woodshed. It was all 8 kilometers from my dacha, in three trips I took out three full trailers of still good-quality lumber and boards, which were used for firewood. All this was spent about 10 liters of gas (I fill the car with gas) and 2 liters of gasoline for a chainsaw - about 450 rubles. But I brought both building materials (even if it is used) and firewood, which will be enough for me for about a month!
Further, I went "all bad". I started calling on ads, negotiating and stocking up on free firewood. And I chose convenient moments for this in order to save fuel as much as possible. For example, when I go to visit the children, on the way back I stop by at a pre-agreed place, load a full trailer and take it home. In general, in two months I stocked up on firewood for a season and a half. And this is taking into account the heating of the house, the heating of the bathhouse and the greenhouse!
And do you know what is most important? Most importantly, this "freebie" does not end there. Wood construction waste, wooden packaging, broken pallets and crates don't end there. In some places, I have been collecting this kind of lumber for five seasons. These are transport companies, warehouses, carpentry workshops, sawmills. In some joinery, I take oak and beech trimmings - they heat the bathhouse and use them for the barbecue.
Outcome
If you need free firewood, open Avito and type in the search line: "firewood for free». There are plenty of such ads in every city. As a pensioner with an income of 14 thousand rubles, it helps me a lot. So use it! Good luck to everyone!
