I don't have help, and collect when available. I get it from the woods to the shed, and she gets it from the shed to the house. all is collected between 10 and 50 miles away. If I ever have to pay for wood (knock knock) it wiil arrive at my house on a logging truck, ready for me to process. 550 to 650$ will get me mixed alder, maple, and fir, 15+ cords unseasoned. this is the only way to buy wood, IMHO, but most people don't have the space or equipment to do it.
 
loads were going for 850 plus in our area this fall. but i don't believe you could get more than 10 cord out of them, if that. stay warm and hope the dry air blows through your wood shed.

luckily I live in one of Washington's premier logging towns, and the trucks here are HUGE. It's very wet here, so my wood needs at least to be split and stacked a year before it is ready.

If your wood is only partially green, drop a few bucks on a couple of those 4 ft tall iron hoop log holders from HD. Put them in the same room as your woodstove, a couple fet away from the stove. It'll finish the process pretty quick. If you didn't cut until mid summer or the fall, I'd just revert back to oil until you get some dry wood; why risk a chimney fire.
