External validation for my woodpile

Every couple of years I get a bushchord of wood delivered and I take the day off to move and stack it. I strangely like it.

I doubt most know how much a cord of wood is on this site. Heck even that measurement has changed over decades. It change from 6x6x6 to 4x4x8 just so they could get more money per cord. 216 cubic feet to 128 cubic feet.

@DeWayfarer in the older days people had fireplaces, the wood had to be very big to last the night,

@jackrabbit10 They didn't have any insulation. It took one and a half to two cords, of that 216 cubic foot cord, to last the winter.
