Great discussion here. Has anyone done the math to see what your making in the end - per hour - of your time invested?
A lot of interesting comments to your post value is what you think it is worth to you a Quality product will always sell ,I would be 100.00 delivered for that and it also depends on the time of year around me . I normally do not sell anymore but in January one of my saw shop customers asked if I had any "Dry wood " he had 2 cord delivered and it was so wet it would hardly burn I sold him a cord of 3 year old locust and oak mix 400.00 and they picked the totes of wood up at my shop (4 totes of stacked wood) my totes are cut down to hold 1/4 cord each . He was so happy with the wood he asked if I would sell him more for next year . I also split my firewood larger for heating and it is cut 20 inches long so most people do not like it that big ( 5-7 inch splits) . As Chud said in his post stay away from the math !! if you enjoy it and can put some spending money in your pocket it is worth it( also you save on that gym membership ) I should sell some my wife says I am a little disturbed with my stockpile JB
Have you loaded, delivered, wheelbarrowed, stacked four face cords on a two hundred mile run? $1,120 before tips. Average $303 per face cord. How about you?
The great thing about selling firewood is that you can have your own business model and be your own boss. I share how I price and deliver my firewood as a sole dude in the Nashville region. I don't tell others how to run their operation, I incorporate good practices from others and keep my mouth shut.
The best part about that picture is that you do not see the other 12 bags to the right side and the 35 totes filled up by my shop and the 12 cord shed with the dry firewood in it ( I am burning out of that now and last but not least the other 11 bags that I am using for the shop ( yep might have a little problem with firewood )
I looked and I just don’t see the problem unless that field is wife garden or something how do you like the bags
Our businesses are run much differently... and I'm not about to making this a johnson measuring contest.
