Get your orders in before the snow flies. .. . . .Early bird specials.

Sold by Rik or Chord $160.00 per chord, $90.00 per Rik. $140.00 for three or more chord. $80.00 for four or more Rik.

All oak, Cherry, locust, beech, some hard maple. Delivered, split and stacked at your location.



"Chord" is fairly common, but "rik"? Maybe he's Indonesian? And why is he splitting at the delivery site?

 

[Iron man]

I think he placed the coma in the wrong location.Probably delivered split then stacked at the delivery site.Take into consideration he cant spell.Sounds like a fair price and stacked to boot.

I gotta give the man thumbs up for working and not asking for a free handout. He's trying to earn a dollar .

I would be interested in knowing how much is in one of his "rik"s. Cause four or more, I would think you would be at a "chord".

Generally a rik (or rick) and a facecord are interchangeable terms that are a stack of wood 4'x8'x16". They aren't legal terms and I am in no way advocating their use when selling firewood, I'd much rather see people refer to a stack that size as a 1/3 cord. Here in MI, I'd guess 90% of firewood of sales are done by the facecord, its just the way it is around here.

Not exactly. There are way too many of these graduate "children left behind." Probably majored in spit-balls in school, and now want to transform the english language down to their level. "Should of" done some studying, instead of totally goofing off. And other such thumbs in the eye. "Nucular" comes to mind.

Arrogance, pure and simple. IMHO.

While I got to agree with you, he is $100.00 too cheap.

+1. This whole thing is bogus. $150 a pickup truck load is probably too cheap this winter. That equates to at least $200 a cord. I sold last year for $100 a pickup load and found out that was far too cheap.

Let's bump the price in honor of today's "cheap" gasoline and diesel. WDYT? :msp_rolleyes:
