Hello,
I have a small part time tree service do to the fact i am addicted to climbing. I trim and remove a lot of poplar, willow, spruce, box elder, silver maple, etc.. The good wood i keep for the garage and next year the house. I have a neighbor that has an out door boiler.
The house and garage are both uninsulated so he needs as much wood as he can get. I dumped about 40 face cords the first year, 60 face cords the second year and this year i am selling the wood. I really do not have a good price in mind, but he was paying $3,000 in heating just the house before.
I was thinking $35 per load to make it easy. I have a 14 foot utility dump trailer that can carry 5 or so face cords ( over weight) but a couple of weeks ago i dropped of two half loads and he did not want to pay $70. I told him I would make it up with the big loads that I normally dump. The load had 6 big spongy pieces and a stump (spruce) but the rest was easy to pop in the stove pieces. Both loads about 6 face cords. I am not trying to make a mint on the wood but gas and equipment are expensive...
