How Much $$$

[Dale]

What is 1/2 cord of firewood (4'x4'x4' correct?) fetching in PA ? UNDELIVERED.

 

[keaton64]

as far as i know a cord is 4'x4'x8', so then 4'x4'x4' or 2'x4'x8' would be 1/2 of a cord.

 

[keaton64]

sorry about that i misunderstood your question, but in southern ohio it's about $70 or so.

It really depends on where in PA you are located.

i get $50/half cord undelivered. and yes, it's hardwoods...

 

[Dale]

Thanks guys. Hmmmmm $50 isn't a bundle of money considering the amount of work it takes to render a tree into 18" split pieces, haul it, stack it. That' hard-earned side money I'll tell ya.

Well they sell those 5 pieces of plastic-wrapped wood in front of the gas stations for $6.00. How does a guy get in on that racket ?

Ya I hear ya TreeCo.

I bet those that know, arn't telling
After about a cord you would feel like you're splitting toothpicks.

That's what I do, and I ain't tellin..... But it requires a LOT of work, and you can't really do it on the side...
