[QUOTE="muddstopper, post: 5880623, member: 73717"] My free firewood that I am working up now has cost me, so far, $40 in gas for the truck, About $3 gas for the saw, another $10, for the splitter. I also paid my grandkids, $200 for helping me split it and another $30 for helping stack. Thats $283. I got about 6 cords of that free wood. So I guess my cost for my free wood would be 283/6=$47.16 cord. I havent added anything for my truck or trailer or the saw, besides gas, and I havent added anything for my labor. Where my saving comes in is in my heating bill. Heating with Elec would be about$350 month, with wood my elect bill drops about $150 month. I heat for minimum of 4 months with wood, sometimes 5 months. So thats a $600 savings per year. 6 cords will heat my house for almost 2 years so My Free wood, that has actually cost me $283 will save me about $917. I guess if you can save more money than you spend, then the cost of the wood is really free after all. Or,,,,,, would that be considered a ROI. [/QUOTE]
