57~ Don't get ripped off on firewood this year!

Soon, we will be scurrying about like squirrels, cutting firewood and storing it for those cold winter nights use! To make sure you are not paying more for comfort- know what a full cord and a face cord are....
*I fell for this one when we first moved into our home two years ago, but NOW? God help the person who tries this one on me! Put on your mathematicians hats on for a moment....


A FULL cord equals 128 cubic feet, usually found as 4'x4'x8' -however can also be 2'x4'x16 8you get the picture....

A FACE cord is stacked where the FACE is 4'x8' BUT the depth is not the 4' measurement.
A FACE cord that equals 3'x4'x8' is only 75% of a full cord!!
