Bah, cutting wood is a pleasure after being stuck in an office all day. I can cut and split a cord in two days, when I was younger and in better shape I could do it in a day. Get a hydraulic splitter and you can split alot faster too. Down south we only go through about a cord per house in a rough winter (2 cords I hafta acquire), and maybe 3/4 of a cord in the summer to feed the barbque pit. Down here pellets are hard to come by and expensive. After the hurricanes came through the last few years I bought two cords at around $30 a cord from a guy who had sold to pretty much everybody he knew and was just driving around looking for anybody with a low woodpile to sell to. Normally we pay around $125 a cord for it if we buy it. But having two good working chainsaws, a chainsaw that works when it feels like it, half a dozen double bit axes, a sledge and a dozen or so good iron wedges you can tear up some wood pretty fast with even half decent help.
