Spring is here in the Northwest!
Above freezing most nights and over 50 -60F during the day!
We even get some sun shine thru the rain clouds from time to time!
I started having long loads of firewood delivered to my field about 5 years ago.
I should have done this 40 years ago!
Yes a trip up in the mountains is a wonderful way to spend a day....
Even filling the truck with firewood (WORK) it was still a good day...
After doing that 10 times a season you start to wonder if buying wood is Such a Bad idea after all...
Adding up your time, the fuel in your 8mpg pickup truck, the wear and tear on said truck, the wear and tear on equipment including yourself...
The worry of your spouse while your up on the mountain all day, with a chainsaw, an old truck and no cell service...(of course cell phones were not invented yet)
When I was 25 I thought spending $500 to buy a years worth of firewood was a silly idea...
Now that I'm over 60, I see how much work I still do to process those logs into split and stacked firewood!
It is still work but its work at home!
As I said earlier... I should have started doing this 40 years ago, $1000 for 12 - 15 cords is cheap.
Long loads were only $500 then... of course property was $500 an acre and gas was less than a dollar...
