    Delivered rounds :
    1.333 cord = $200 ?
    or
    $150 per cord ?

    Cheaper than here.

    Yep, and yep.
    I told him I'd split if he brought rounds, and I thought he was gonna' start jumping up and down with joy.:dancer:
    Saves him some work, and I split how I want....and still get a decent price.

    Yea. I'd get 5 loads.
    I'd match that price for a delivered load of Ash!
    Hand him this map.

    I'm hoping he'll bring another load this weekend.
    I started splitting some of the Ash this morning, but got distracted with the whole septic thing all day.

    Looks like another delivery tomorrow.
    I got out and split up 1/3 cord of the last Ash load, and managed to stack a small bit of it.....

    And found this piece that looks a little like an ankle and foot..........

    Another load showed up just before 7:30, mostly Beech this time. He had the truck bed loaded with split Ash for another customer.

    Unloaded. Unfortunately, I'll be gone all day tomorrow, so no splitting.

    Between trips downstate, I've been pecking away at the Ash again.
    Went out and split almost 2/3 cord this afternoon.
    Pile is bigger than it looks.....I think it's 8'X10', and a little over 16" for most of it. Just to the right of the tarp is a little bit of Oak I got last fall from SisIL's place that I split a few days ago.

    Beautiful day today. Forecast says sunny and warmer just about every day through early next week.:thumbs:
    I'm trying to get as much of this split as I can before the next load gets here.

    I'm still tryin' to get back to the 3 year plan.:headbang:
    With this mild winter, I have about 20% of a normal winters wood leftover, so that helps. I already told the kid I'll be getting more.

    This winter was good on the wood, of course it's a little warmer down here but I have about one-third of what I should have burned left.
    You're getting a good price on it keep it going :axe::stacke:

    The ban here seems to have worked pretty well.
