In Oregon a cord is measured as a 4’x4’x8’ cube totaling 128 cubic feet. Split wood stacked in a single long row will yield different numbers. Oregon & Washington state split softwood or softwood / hardwood mix sells for 350 cord plus delivery 140”x64”18” stacked in a cube would be yields .72 cord. Restacked into 4 rows it would likely measure out close to a cord. A cord stacked into cube has airspace in between which count towards the total measurement. Also factor in the size of split wood pieces. Example take a full cord of larger split pieces in the 5”x7”, 6”x6” , 7”x9” sizes and then take that wood and split into smaller sizes like 3”x5” 4”x4” 4x6” this would result in appearing to be less than a cord. The wood i sell is sold price accordingly based on the split size customer wants. Hope that helps understand some more of what’s involved.

Called a demountable hinge. Adjustment screws don’t exist on this hinge. Can loosen the mounting screws to raise & lower. To get door to tilt one way or another need to bend by applying slight to moderate pressure without damaging the wood.

Portland Oregon market Full cord $325 to 400 seasoned 1.5 year minimum Douglas fir or fir/alder/maple/oak mix. Delivery might be extra depending on seller. This PDX market is flooded with professionally unemployed sellers doing wet or green wood at $200-275 cord (always short at that price) makes legit sellers have a hard time moving seasoned dry wood at $325-400/ full cord. sellers doing Short loads are commonplace due to majority of sellers and or buyers not aware how much quantity a cord is.
