Not bad but free is better so dont sell that splitter just yet. Im gonna tell my nieghbor im paying $20.00 bucks a truck load ( red oak n ash) because I really dont need it we'll see how he takes it.
That is a good deal. At those prices it's hard to go crazy cutting your wood. I found a guy who delivers to my house all hardwood split for $100/ cord. It's hard for me to justify working so hard for a scrounge when I can get wood for so cheap. Free is best, but at that price it makes it a lot easier to pass up a scrounge I don't really have the time for.
Don't get me wrong if I see a good scrounge I'm on it. Plus I really enjoy splitting and stacking wood. So at this point I guess I'm buying half and scrounging half.
I think there is value in buying wood sometimes. Dont get me wrong, I am only 43 and love scrounging wood and doing the cutting/splitting myself, but if you buy a bit here and there from a guy, odds are better he'll still be in business for you when you tweek a knee or your back and HAVE TO BUY some. Maybe you'll never need it, but I find a little security in have an established relationship with supplier like that. Plus wood like oak isn't easy to come by in NE Kansas. Lots of elm and hedge...white oak not so much.
With Hedge around, who wants Oak?
Just found wood 2 miles from my house cut split Oak and Hickory 30 $ a pickup load.
12 loads? Not bad, six hours work for a years supply of wood.I spent 360$ and 6 hrs this weekend and I'm done for the 20012-2013 season. It all cut, splitt, and stacked.
I cut and process my own wood because I enjoy doing it. When you think about doing it all yourself, its actually heating you four times.....once when you cut it, once when you split it, once when you stack it, and finally when it warms your whole family. I'll keep doing it myself til I can't do it anymore.
