Most people begin to prepare for cold weather by purchasing wood for their fireplace well before winter.  Wood is a good source of heat, but do you know how wood is sold?  Firewood is to be sold by a cord or a fraction of a cord.  A cord is 128 cubic feet. Example a stack of wood 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long is 128 cu. ft.    4 X 4 X 8 = 128.  You are also to be provided at the time of sale/delivery of the wood a sales invoice with the following information:


Name and address of the seller
Date of the purchase or delivery
The quantity of wood purchased
The price paid
