D,

How much is a cord of wood up there? In Portalnd they are getting, are you sitting down, $230. a cord for 6 month old mixed hardwood, split and delivered, but not stacked.

Here in the Stoneham area they are getting $200. from the summer folks, up for the fall, and about $160. or so from the locals.

Me, well, I cut it, and use the churches splitter. Still cost about $15. a cord just for gas and chainsaw oil.

Been doing wood all day, use to be easier when I was younger, like 50.

When I bought 6 cords of wood last summer, it cost me $110 a cord, which was cut and split.  Then, I had to hire some guys to stack it in the yard until it dried out.  Then, I had to hire guys to throw it into the basement and stack it down there.

Big bucks, let me tell you!
