1247261 2011-12-05 21:21:00 Good to hear back. I thought you got firewood for free before, as shown in your earlier photos. What's a cord? a metric volume?

I was wondering the same as we pay $150-$180 for a cord here

1247263 2011-12-05 21:36:00 A cord of wood is still a terminology used in New Zealand :)

The "thrown" or loose cord is the version widley used by wood merchants. It represents cut wood thrown or loosly stacked into a box with the demensions of a cord- 2.44m long by 1.22m wide and 1.22m deep.


Under the old "Imperial" measurements it is 8 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet or 128 cubic feet.

I always wondered how it was measured but had never got round to researching it, you have just saved me having to

1247265 2011-12-05 22:22:00 Great looking location SJ, I daren't show the pix to Mrs T though, she'd love the isolation, and the cold, and she'd be looking up real estate agents on line and booking airline tickets.

You'll need traffic lights on that intersection for rush hour, and you'd best polish up your guns in case the neighbours get noisy of a night. :D

How about a reference for a satellite view? I bet that would look great.

1247269 2011-12-05 23:10:00 A "stacked" cord is approx 1.4 "thrown" cords. A skilled firewood merchant can do considerably throwing" better than this, as can a Dad stacking wood down one side of the car shed. A teenager stacking wood before he's allowed to go out can actually make a stacked wood pile larger than a thrown one, unless he has to get his car past the stack - ~ - in this case an amazing amount of shrinkage takes place, and he can stack wood in a smaller volume than the tree did. ;) R2x1 (4628)
