I have somewhat of an abstract mind and look at things differently than a lot of folks .With that in mind a thought occured to me today .
It realistically takes me about 3 hours to do a cord the time it takes to cut it from a pile ,split and stack it etc .Most likely add about another hour the time to tote it in the house ,fire the stove and haul out the ashes . So 4 hours per .
The stuff sells locally for 150 a cord ,that would 37.50 per hour .It takes me more than 50 bucks earned to have that 37.50 left over after the greedy gov gets its' share in income tax and other tarrifs they decide to burden the working man with .Now 50 bucks an hour is not too shabby in most peoples book .
Of course none of this applies to central Florida ,the Keys ,parts of Mississippi or southern Cal . Makes sense in the frozen tundra of the north country though in Jan ,snow arse deep to a tall Indian ,10 below with a 15 MPH wind . Down south firewood is a burden ,up here it's a commodity .
