I’m getting tired of buying a small bag of firewood for over 8 bucks a bag, and have been hoping to get the phone number of a local guy that will deliver firewood to me. One of my trailer park neighbours told me that this local guy will deliver two bush cords of softwood for about 300.00.  Problem is – it’s pretty soft and not exactly what I want. On one of our bike trips, C. and I saw a flyer for someone that will deliver a full bush cord (32″ X 4′ X 12′) of hardwood – maple and ash for $380.00.  A little more than what I wanted to spend, but at this point, I just want to get some here.  Not having it is costing me to much to as I buy from the bags from the local gas station ten minutes away.

I called the number on the flyer and it turns out the guy is on holidays, but he had his son give me a call. And he is going to bring me a bush cord on Thursday for $350.00. Apparently he’s an hour and a half away, but they are willing to deliver it to me for that price of $350.00.

I am looking forward to having firewood on site, and not having to worry about buying it before I come out if I’ve been away for a few days. In fact, I can’t wait!! It’s been a few years since I stacked wood – sometime ago, I owned a house that was entirely heated with a wood stove. One of the things I enjoyed and looked forward to was the day the 3 bush cords would be delivered in late October for the winter season. Stacking it up in the garage was good hard work that I loved – and then getting out the heavy maul to split some of it as needed. No better stress reliever than that!
