I c/s/s my first 12 cords of firewood from the trees that were cut down for my new house. Problem was they got pushed a few times by equipment. So picture a 12 cord teepee of logs. Little did I realize how bad it sucked! Logs facing everywhere, mud on everything, constantly needing my chain sharpened, etc...
Well I had a utility company cutting down trees on one of my properties (mostly scrap wood) and they said what do you want me to do with the wood? Like I have a choice? Of course I asked would they deliver it to my house 10 miles away. He said sure! So I got a free log load delivered!
So I just finished cutting it all up. I can't believe how much easier it is than a 'pile'. It really makes me respect you guys who scrounge. Log loads have to be 1/3 to 1/2 the labor of scrounging.
I don't have it split yet, but do have the rounds stacked nicely. I am at 4 1/2 cords. Guy who delivered it said 5-6. I'm interested to see how many cords it really is after it is split and stacked. So thrilled to be 3-4 years ahead!
