My father is in his 70's and on a fixed income. We thought he had enough wood piled up near the house for the season, but the abnormally cold temps means that he burned more wood than expected.
The record snowfall has kept him from accessing next years firewood.
He called a firewood guy who delivered 1/3 cord of oak. The problem is that the oak is too wet to burn and has not been properly seasoned. It will be awesome firewood next year.
Part of me feels as if my father was taken advantage of. This guy sold a person who he knows is out of firewood a load of oak that he knows is not ready to burn.
The other side of me realizes we live in a buyer beware world and the guy did deliver 1/3 cord of oak for the agreed upon price.
It's not like I think he should refund any money or deliver more wood but I hate to see people spend their hard earned money on a solution that doesn't solve the current problem.
I'm giving my father some of my firewood to get him through the season. I have a tracked atv so accessing firewood in the snow is not an issue for me.
