Stocking up for the Winter

Ever wonder what $120 worth of firewood looks like? A cord of wood in fairbanks costs $185. For perspective, a cord is approximately 4ft high, 4ft deep, and 8ft long. I paid $60 for a 4wheeler cart full of wood.
Upon delivery I noticed the wood looked freshly cut. The villager explained they usually cut down the trees during breakup, around April. The wood seasons on the ground until fall when it is cut to burn and heat our home.
