How much wood is in a cord?

As it turns out, quite a bit..

20 feet x 4 feet x 18 inches, all sitting on top of 6×6 pressure treated planks. Took me 2 hours to stack.

I’m unsure how to protect it from the elements. The little kids on the internet claim that you need to season it for 8-10 months, by shielding it from the rain and allowing existing moisture to escape. I’m going to attempt the greenhouse method, implemented with tarps (pics to follow).

My splitting maul, and a pile of wood that succumbed to my will.
Being a homeowner sort of sucks. I’ve had to learn all this stupid stuff that I really never wanted to learn about, like wood seasoning and splitting and creosote and rodent control… and it never really seems to end.
