These tree trunks could be used to build a bridge

There is a club near me that has been taken over by the local Brits on a Friday night in a village close by. The reason it is used is because we can all drive to it and leave when it's time to go home by not going onto the main road not that any of us drink to much but it's better than being stopped by the local Plod.

A local Brit runs the bar on behalf of the local Portuguese who normally run the bar. While we use the bar a number of the local villages have started to come in and one of them is the local who is responsible for the logging that goes on in the area. It was this guy i asked with help from other to get me a couple of Tree trunks for my veranda. I wanted two trunks about three metres in lenght and i was quoted 27€ and that seemed a good deal. I had wanted 20cm in diameter  but when delivered the two trunks where about double what i needed, they are so heavy i could not even lift one end.

Now good as these are they are to big and heavy so tonight i will have to ask the guy to change them for a couple not quite as wide. These have to be lifted to be placed onto the locating bars in the ground.

That's all for now
