is he calling it a cord, or a load. I know alot of people around here sell it by the dump truck load.
No ambiguity here. I spoke in specific terms asking "this is a full cord, not a face cord", "so, $150 for a full cord of hardwood", "is there any odd pieces of pine or poplar"... I learned a lot from the first cord, just not to not trust anyone when it comes to firewood.
I see the check was cashed so I'm going to give him a couple days to return my call then I'll call weights and measures just to see what they say. I'm pretty much writing it off.
As far as the delivery goes, the deal will be for me to stack it. If the seller doesn't like that idea I won't buy from them. Too much room for a screwing. I can drive and look at a stack but that doesn't mean that's what they'll load up. There's a dozen ways around delivering a full cord. I have 3 boys and my wife helps, we can stack a cord pretty fast.
The thing is, after this year I'll by using my own and won't have to buy for quite some time.
