    Not really. Just do a little extra every year and soon you will be there.

    Well...I got my last stack piled today. Looking forward to burning this winter. I am not sure how much wood this is. The main storage part is a half cord on each holder, but I have a lot of wood sticking out past the width of the holders. The top part is a quarter cord, but it is loosely stacked up there.

    Impressive! I do however see room for some splits between each rack.

    As long as that disgust isn't founded in an attention deficit you should be doing OK.

    Exactly. Just keep working at it Sean Easterly !

    I'm not at 3 years ahead yet, but I might be by this winter. I use 4-5 cords a year. If you only used 2 cords a year, it will not be too tight to get to the 3 years ahead.

    How much cordage do you think you have in the woods?

    Our wives should be VERY GRATEFUL for our firewood addiction. (A) It keeps everyone's little rear-ends warm on cold nights and (B) It keeps us busy and out of the bars. Strip and otherwise. Yes, our wives should get down on their knees and wipe the greasy dust off our chainsaws each and every time we come back home with more firewood.

    Maybe a couple more, but I have received permission to cut on neighboring farms; finding trees shouldn’t be a problem.

    I’m surprised I didn’t get any praise for my sweet hoodie!!

    i was going to comment earlier, but GF yelled at me for being on PC as we were going to be late. Looks great and an ideal color for the season. I need to get some FHC swag.

    From left to right: black willow, walnut, miscellaneous (fair amount of hedge), and elm/locust. Most stacks topped off with elm.
