Wood here in the Boston area is $450 a cord seasoned mixed hardwood.

Wow, at those prices it would be cheaper for me to just run my furnace. Can you get green wood cheaper?

In my area we call the described basement a daylight basement

We call it a walkout basement around these here parts.

I like that term better. More descriptive.

at $200 a cord for oak (mixed birch, poplar, ash, maple is cheaper), buying enough wood to run all winter could cost me more than my electric heating system does.

Those cords might be some sort of banana cord, rick, or face cord. 200$ for a real cord does sound super cheap but this is Fargo after all and everybody has a chippah. I wonder how low the electric costs are if wood at 200 is still more expensive.
