We had a face cord of mixed mostly hardwood delivered last Saturday morning, 2/12. It cost $120, cash, from Dave Lovejoy. Seems like a decent chap. His business is land clearing, so the wood is a by-product and a sideline.He dumped it in the driveway in front of the garage, so then we had to move most of it to the back porch, a little to the woodbox, and a little to the garage. D, G, and M all helped move the wood, and afterwards it dawned on me that maybe those boys will be able to make a real contribution to the labor around here some day. Wow.
Anyway, Dave said a full cord is three times as much wood for $250 cash, and I’m planning to give him a call and order that in June or so. I might even get two cords. I wonder if his little dump truck will hold that much.
I measured the place on the back porch where I keep some firewood, and figured out that it’s almost exactly a face cord. That’s really good to know — will help in determining how much we burn and how much we get when we buy wood.
