Well, I made an executive decision today. I'm down to between a cord and a cord and a half of wood which should get me to the middle of March. I also checked my oil usage at a quarter of a tank used since before Thanksgiving. The price of oil is down to around $2.25.
I gave it a bit of thought and decided to try to get the oil used down to less than a quarter tank left and fill it up in case the price isn't as advantageous next season. With at least 6 weeks more of cold weather and a few more weeks of needing some amount of heat, I think it's time to think ahead. I shouldn't need to cut up much more for next season and I'll be working on getting ready for the 2016 winter. There's a lot of downed trees on the Boy Scout grounds around me and my deal with them is half for the boys and half for me. Not a bad deal for "free firewood".
i've still got that free firewood for you in the front yard. it might take a crane to get to it though
