how many jellybeans... err cords game

[Adios Pantalones]

Here's what I did on my vacation. So far I split all this wood and I was trying to guess how many cords were in it (yes, the plural of cord is cords), and I thought it'd be fun to make a game out of it. I can't think of a reasonable prize, so you get bragging rights.

Here's the clues and rules- not sure if any help.

• I split it alone in maybe a day and a half or 2 days with my hydraulic splitter- maybe 1/4 cord or so I did with a maul.
• It's in 2 piles right now
• The wood was already cut into rounds, that were fairly conveniently stacked.
• It's mostly pine, and most of it was cut too short.
• The bulk of this will be stacked holz hausen/haufen/whatever later this week, and I'll calculate from that
• You get one entry- you can edit your entry up to the time I post the result (unless you're on my ignore list, then screw ya)

[Jack Straw]

2.2375 cords Hey is that your place?, way cool!

 

[Freeheat]

1.75 cords

 

[bioman]

looks like 2 bush cords +1/2 rick-rank-facecord or something like that maybe , but thats just a guess.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

I'm gonna have to take more pics- it looks like a lot more than 2 cords in person

 

[begreen]

1.75 cords

That's what I would guess.Somewhere between 1.5 and 1.75 cords.

It needs a jar of barbecue sauce next to it for perspective.

or a "frinkle". (good memory, eh?)

 

[Eatonpcat]

Nice looking place...I don't have any idea how many cords, So I will guess that that's a lot of freakin' wood!

 

[Highbeam]

I'm going for 4 cords. Each of those humps look like a cord and if this took you 2 days then I hope you took lots of breaks. If in a hurry you could have had that done on the first day.

 

[firefighterjake]

3 1/4 cords

 

[Adios Pantalones]

OK- only other picture I'll post before its done- the start of the first stack. 44" wide, 34"- that's (carry the naught, times 2 plus double naught...) 0.93 cords and the first pile isn't half gone. But- this panorama view maakes the stack look huge in comparison to the 2 piles, so screw ya, it's not much of a clue. If I wanted it to be easy, I'd have called it the "The easy how many jellybeans... err cords game".

 

[gzecc]

I say two dictionary chords.

 

[ScotO]

I'll take a stab and say 4.333 cords. Gotta be somewhere around that much.

 

[billb3]

Official final answer : 3


ignore list ?

 

[Adios Pantalones]

And the winner is..... Scotty- with the Lets Make a Deal strategy paying off. Stacked about 5 cords here, with a remainder of 1/4-1/2 cord in ugly crap left on the ground. (kiln food)

Hey - lets not forget about the runner up prize.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

Jags- you can now add your runner up status to your sig line

 

[Senatormofo]

That's a lot of hard work in those stacks! Great job all around! I was going to say about 5...... (really, I was thinking around 3)
