    The snow chains are Winter prep, slippery woods, something else ? It's been so warm the only Winter prep I've done is clean the chimney and a small stack of pine in a bin by the garage.

    Very nice job :yes:
    Look really really good
    with the wood holding it down .
    (If you anchor it to the ground
    it becomes a shed ?)

    Feels good, Eh?
    Firewood warms you many times
    before it’s burned.

    Here are my latest racks, the roofing was free - neighbor had it left over from a pole barn he built. Between the 4 racks it’s just over 4 full cords. I started filling these 8/15, filled by 10/15.
