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.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
