When we found out that he had two differnt prices - $200 for those in desperate need (fireplaces were the only source of heat for these families) and $70 for everyone else, we called. His response, "if you don't like my &^%$ing price,buy your wood from someone else." And THAT is exactly what we will do.
Description of Work: Many of my neighbors have bought firewood from John over the past 15+ years. Last week our area was hit with an arctic winter storm and many families were left without power. John charged the neigbors without power $200 for wood, yet those with power paid $70. I know several neighbors are reporting him to the Attorney General and several television stations are investigating. I will never buy firewood from John again and I am beyond digusted that he would take advantage of his neighbors like this.

I called today to set up a time for firewood to be delivered. I left a voicemail and John called me back within 5 minutes. He said he had some some guys delivering today and I said that would be great. They came and dropped the wood off in our driveway. The rick was $60 and there was a $5 delivery charge (we live nearby). I was happy he was able to fit us in on such short notice and grateful too. We're experiencing 60 degree January temperatures today, but winter weather returns tomorrow. My husband and I would much rather stack wood in warm weather.

This is the third time I have gotten wood from John. I stack it myself, so that is not a problem. He always responds quickly to my call and brings firewood cut the way I need it. As my firebox is small I need wood cut 16 to 18 inches long. Probably 95% of the logs were that size.
Description of Work: I called John on Monday and asked him to bring two ricks of wood. He came on Tuesday. The wood was well aged and cut to my specifications.

He brought me the rick of firewood that I wanted. However, it was just cut this year, so it wasn't seasoned firewood and I can't burn it now. I was very upset because I can't get it to burn. It will not burn. I am very upset because I spent the money for it and now I can't even use it.

I have used his services before. I like the quality of wood he provides. He is not skimpy in the measurement and he delivers it the same day or the day after. He will offer to stack it, but we did not have him do that.

I called and left a message to order a rick of firewood. When he called back, I was told that our job was too small and too far away to warrant a special trip, but that he would call back for sure within the next 2 weeks when he was headed our way. After more than 2 weeks, I called and left 2 messages - neither of which was returned.

Good price and stacked the wood very neatly. Took care not to drive through the yard due to the wood being stacked in the back corner of my yard.
