    My Amish sawmill hardwood loads went from $20 last year to $25 this year. I think it’s still an ok deal..

    It's a 20' car trailer, 7' wide with 2.5' high sides (and it's heaped above that in the middle). So 2.75-3 cord if I'm doing the math right.

    buZZsaw BRAD, yeah I can’t stack the blocks so me and kids put them in the “pallet rack” this afternoon in the middle of the old pasture, in full sun/wind.

    (I sprayed weed/grass killer around after the pic to keep that all down for the summer)

    I won't lie, it's hard to make the time to C/S/S actual firewood with everything else going on in life when I can just wheel the trailer down 5 miles to the mill and have them fill it up for that price.
