Pile of Stacked Wood
Its sad, after 20 plus years and I don't know how many cords of wood I have burned I still find a wood provider that wants to jack with me.
I finally after a year of persuading my Churches Trustees, Finance and Outreach and Fellowship Committee that we need real wood not scraps and crap, to which I might add a certain accountant (Yankee) who was unaware all the great BBQ she ate last year was made with wood, I finally was able to get them to buy a cord... to some, they didn't get it... buy something only to burn it.
So I have stringent rules for wood but I can't always do what effective business owners do when an order is not right, I am representing a Church.
Thursday the guy comes by and one look at his trailer I say, "you are about 30 cubic feet short. The guy says "no I am not." After saying we will see, I notice he brought me EXCACTLY what i specifically told him NOT to... Over Punked, nasty, rotted wood with the bark falling off.
You don't want this for a couple of reasons, one it burns in a flash, two, it only gets worse and three, it taste nasty and is only good for starting fires.
So anyway, normally I do the right thing, before I let them drop it I measure it. I should have and let the guy explain to me how a 6 x 8 x 2 foot stack of wood on his trailer is 128 cubic feet.
But I didn't.. I think I was so overjoyed his delivery included stacking. So in the end I make him measure the stacks.
I laid out three pallets and when he was done has a 6 foot face of 2.5 foot high wood on one side and a 10 foot by 2.5 foot high section on the other side. It was four foot wide with an 8 inch space in the middle where he laid out no wood. Plus The munch tried to measure the pallet into the height.
We agreed he owed me wood and I said just keep the pile as high as it is and make the 6 foot pile 10 foot and fill the middle and we will call it a day.
I was smart enough to fill the receipt out 96 cubic feet delivered.. he never realized I did this.
Anyway, days passed and I never got the wood. I had to do some leaning but I got the wood and the good **** too! I could make damn furniture out of what he brought me the second time.
I promised to do a video on wood so I might feature him. I was surprised honestly he gave me the wood I asked for and plus some. Most guys just leave ya hanging.

Not Wood But a Stacked Pile of Unbridled Hotness that Gives me Wood
