Don't Let Your Fuel
Bills Get You Down. Heat
Your
Home with Wood!
Northern Michigan can get a bit cold in the winter time. I
just ordered 175 gallons of #1 fuel oil and it was $3.27 a
gallon. Good thing oil is only a back up....I
use wood as my primary heat source. This year I bought
10 pulp cord and had it delivered. The semi load was
$900.00 for Red and White Oak. This should last me
close to two years. I should get around 25 or more face
cords.
A face cord around Traverse City Michigan is getting close to
$50.00, and with the price of gasoline I'm sure it will go
even higher. My goal is to get three years worth of
wood cut and put away. Just to know you have three
years worth of heat...paid for in advance is a comfort in
it's self. That's two semi's or 20 pulp cord
($1800.00)
Actually that would last a little more that three years. What
a deal...
I said I would never split wood again but....I can't afford
not to. So this year I went ahead and built a log
splitter. And of course I will have a DVD and an
Online E_Course on how to build that within the next two
weeks.
The advantages of building your own Log Splitter is you can
custom make it to fit your needs. I'm short, so I
installed the hydraulic controls to be comfortable for me.
I designed it to be used as a horizontal or vertical
splitter. There's one thing for sure, you will stay in
shape if your going to heat with wood you cut and split
yourself.
I also have a 300 gallon gasoline tank I bought during Y2K.
I'm glad I did, now I have fuel for my snow blowers and plow
truck. Not to mention when the power goes out we also have
our back up generators ready. So winters not so bad up
here when your set up for it.
Stay Warm!
