YUROP
Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

How much wood is that? *Nvm i found it, it's 3,62 cubic meters. I thought it wasn't a unit of measurement.
1,5 cubic meters of birch, ready for the fire cost between 180-250$ right now in sweden.
I would assume that we have an insanely low price compared to the rest of Europe. We practically consist of wood and lakes.
You could also buy what we call "long wood" for less than half and chop it yourself.
Oh fuck, just to add... The pine boards I just bought from Home Depot said "product of Sweden" and it was the cheapest boards they had that were suitable for my project.
How come I'm paying a nickel a foot for your lumber but you're paying an arm and a leg for your own raw timber? That's some bullshit, man. The world is weird.
Yes, here too if you get creative. One season, I paid a local tree service company $100 bucks and they dumped their logs in my yard. They were 8 foot long sections, anywhere from 10-inch diameter to 3 feet diameter (Pacific Northwest). I bucked it all down with a 16" inch gas chainsaw and split it with a maul. Took forever. My hands and back ached at bedtime every night. But when I was done, i had three-plus cord stacked and drying all for $100 bucks.
Nothing beats the forest permits tho. A lot of work, but the price is worth it.
