So my woodpile is all nice and neat.
Last year I got about 2 cord of oak, and either ash or maple, for free.
I cut, split and sorted, keeping about 1-1/2 cord of it. The rest was ant-eaten and went out to the curb for the city to pick up with yard waste.
Chainsaw gas, premium: 2 Gallons @ $7.00
Chainsaw tuneup kit: $30.00
Chain hand-sharpening kit $35.00
Small engine repair service (with chain sharpening) $30.00
Repair 8-pound maul (broken handle) and professional chain sharpening $23.00
New bar and chain $43.00 w/tax
Total: $168.00
Sitting on the couch and with sciatic nerve spasms for three days: PRICELESS
Now I know why I like firewood as much as I do handloading: I save money!
