    The whole outside perimeter would be beautifully stacked wood with a little fort in the middle with a lazy boy to just stare at my wood :)

    :rofl: :lol: a second lazy boy for another lazy boy (old man in my case) to stare at the wood. Sounds like the ultimate FHC man cave!
    I talked to the Asplundh log truck driver for a while yesterday Woodwhore Got some interesting info. The truck had a blown hydraulic line for the claw. He was PU the remnants and had broke down.

    Thatbis a great storage area. I'm guessing on the question you asked, at least 50% cherry.

    Nope the big pile is all poplar only cherry is the small pile and 2 of the bundles of slab wood in the one picture.I kept a nice cherry log not sure why as I have no way of milling it and then if I did not sure what I would make.I figured I can always still cut up that log in the spring.

    More than a couple hours worth of splitting as I did it alone and have found out I am not as young as I was many years ago..
