As many of you know in here, not only do I burn but I also sell as much as I can produce. This past year, for the first time ever, I kept track of all money in and out as well as total wood delivered and miles driven. So here is the season by numbers:
115 cords delivered
7 weekends out of 8 spent delivering
1,550 miles put on my dump truck delivering
61% of all money taken in was profit
In the off season I bought a newer faster splitter with a 6 way wedge and log lift. I also hired out a little more help splitting than in previous years and spent more time with my family. I'm planning on keeping track again this year and I believe it will be more profitable as I hope to spend less on purchasing wood than last season. And because I know you all love pictures so much here is a before and after of one of my piles of splits.
