I saw in the okie arky thread them guys talking about hail. We had some dime nickel sized stuff last summer. A week later some rat fink non local roofing contractor had signs up all over town about getting your insurance company to fix your roof. They're still here scamming away.

The wood thing- I read in some central states there's a law about how firewood is sold. Here, there's no such law, and it's sold by the face cord.

That's crooked on both accounts

Kevin I Agree, The phrase face cord, lol what a line of bull s!!!:confundio1: Just a way of rippin someone off.
Not really ripping anyone off. It's just the way it's sold here. When someone here buys a face cord of wood, they know they're getting 1/3 of a full cord. In fact, a full cord is never even mentioned. Here, there's face cord and logger's cord. It's a regional thing

I can only imagine what hail that size would do to a vehicle

Oh, OK down here in NC. it's used as a mis- interpertation, to those buyers who don't know better.

What's a loggers cord
Cord, full cord, logger's cord, pulp cord. All the same thing. 4x4x8

Oh, OK down here in NC. it's used as a mis interpertation, to those buyers who don't know better.
Nah. Here, some people want 16", some 18", some 20 or 24. Price gets adjusted accordingly. Seems easier to charge 25% more for 20" lengths than 16" lengths, rather than figure out how much 20" wood fits in a 4x4x8 box

Wow, I've heard very different meanings of a face cord, that's why I mentioned the consistent unit of measure.
