Hello,
I'm a newbie, trying to get a wood supply well before next winter. I just ordered my first cord.
It's hardwood, mainly oak. I didn't want to have to stack it twice, so I stacked it loosely to dry over the summer.
The pieces have some cracks along their sides, but needs more time to dry, I believe. The wood guy says they will need the summer to be ready.
Here's a few pictures. Width: 5 feet Height: no more than 44 inches Number of stacks: 7 (including the half-height one)
So, did I get taken? I'm thinking so. And if so, by approximately what percent?
I am trying to get an established contact, and this guy has been in the business locally for years and years.
I didn't feel comfortable insisting that he stack it for me. That is a lot of time for which he's not being paid. Either he's honest and we continue our business or I look elsewhere, for someone who will deliver/stack or pick up where I can see the stock and designate what I get.
Thanks for your feedback.
