So much easier to measure a cord that way!!

 

I hauled wood to a few paper mills that would still dock the truck driver for loose piling!

 

Are you sure thats not a painted end???

 

Except that there will be more than an actual cord, in that area, because a cord of wood is figuring a certain amount of air. Only 85 cubic feet of 128 cubic feet is wood. That leaves 43 cubic feet of air.

I've got a feeling that us FHC'ers stacks are more than actual cordage.

 

I think it's cookies glued onto the tailgate.

 

Mmm. Cookies.

 

That looks like the way I load my stove in the dead of winter!

 

Just all the more reason to get paid by weight instead of by the cord!

 

I sold some wood to a guy this year who wanted 45 cord. later he was not sure if he got enough and was thinking about 11 more cord.

Since I sold the wood by cord instead of weight, there was an easy 5 cord more total, plus the 80 cord per year he has been buying was no where near 80 cord. We put my 45 cord on top of his former buyers wood and my loads overhung the pile by both the front and the back. That is because we have a lot bigger truck. Ours has a 24 foot body and that guys was 20 foot. On top of that, I cut the wood 28 feet, so it overhung a lot, and 4 feet 8 feet wide and 10 feet high is more then a cord of extra wood. So now the guy is up to an extra 10 cord. But I also cut almost exclusively big beech, and as we all know, beech has high BTU's per cord, so not only did the guy get 10 extra cord, it is going to burn a lot slower too. He got his moneys worth, but will not know it for 2 years when they buy wood from someone else and see what he got for his money's worth.

 

I agree, but people that think they are smarter than us think otherwise.

I've seen that other places as well.

 

Ok, but make sure it's dry first, 'cause I ain't buyin' more water than I have to.

 

What, you don't like burning water?

 

And they will always be among us. There are those who "do" and those who just "talk". FHC members are the doers. We hand down the "hands on" to our children and grandchildren.
