One and a Half Face Cords

Have you ever wondered how much wood is in a one and a half face cords? About this much...

And to think a week ago I didn't even know what a face cord was! And the cost of keeping warm? $174.13 plus 20 bucks for the teenager next door to stack it! Hmmm. Bills like this make me miss my fireplace that turned on with a light switch. I guess you find those only in Dallas. Looks like we'll have to learn to work the real thing!
