Nicely put Sandy. This is a road I have travelled many times and all the routes you discuss here. I can't make comment on the developer connection, but I burned wood for over 25 years and obtained it in many ways. While living in Dartmouth in our first house, I bought 8' lengths and bought a chainsaw to "chunk" it up my self. A ton of work but great exercise like you say. I rented a gas powered splitter a few times, but mostly I split by hand. This was a fantastic process, not just exercise, but it grew to be a very Zen like activity for me. Sort of at one with the edge of my splitting axe and the grain of the log. I know. I eventually moved to the Valley and bought a 16' flat bead trailer, truck, more saws and even sold wood for a while. Big investment. My next step was to open my own Wood Stove store which I ran successfully for 20 years. I became WETT certified in 89 and was National President then President of WETT Nova Scotia for quite a while. All this time advising folks on how to cleanly and safely process their own firewood. We will have to chat about this more over something aged in Wood barrels Sir. Oh and by the way, a face cord is an illegal measure for firewood in Canada. Worked on a project with Measurement Canada.
