I was off Thanksgiving week and took over 4 full cords of seasoned to my brother to add to what he already has. He heats almost exclusively with wood. Has a gas furnace for backup. I have the woods, so I help him out. He's my brother.
Today I stopped at a gas station and filled up and saw bundled firewood by the gas pumps. See them at 7-Elevens too, but really never paid attention. Today I saw them stacked by the gas pumps and misread the price. Thought was $2.99 for about five or six pieces, which I though was fair. I went inside to pay for my gas and commented on it and got corrected. Price was $12.99 for about 5 or 6 pieces. Holy cow! There are folks that pay it though.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
