I recently purchased 2 cords of wood. It was dumped in my driveway. My first time buying firewood so didn't know what to expect 2 cords to look like. I stacked it up. Started feeling like it wasn't much more than 1 cord.
I took some measurements and the pile ended up 2'x4'x18' (144 cu ft). Sent an email with some pictures to the landscaper. He's been non-defensive about it all. He explained because I stacked the wood tight, one on top of another, that it does stack up as less. He said that it should be stacked basket weave style, alternating direction each row.
What do you all think? Did I get taken or should I re-stack my wood alternating directions like this guy suggested? Thanks.
