    Looks great! Your stacks are a work of art. I would hate to tear them down to burn. I tend to end up with yard trees that have very little straight pieces in them plus from tree companies that can't cut to a set length to save their lives.

    Fantastic job! That looks great. There's such a sense of pride admiring a stack like that after it's complete. Enjoy.

    This I know for sure. Once I achieved the 3 year plan it is very easy to maintain and it is nice always having good dry wood and I do not have to wonder if it is good and dry. Last you will not regret achieving that goal. Good for you.

    So close I can taste it. Within a whisker hair now!!! I have about 1/3rd of a cord to go. Was able to knock out a cord or so of Pine after work yesterday.

    I like the box with the wood in it. I see a small chain on the side can you move it with pallet forks? Do you know what fraction of a cord it holds? Thanks!:)

    That box holds exactly 1/3rd of a cord when level with the top of the box. It does indeed go on my quick attach pallet forks. I also have 3 point fork it can go on. The safety chains connect to the steel forklift frame so I can dump the box without it sliding off the forks.

    Looking back 4 of the tractors came from CT. Stafford Springs, Woodstock, Hampton, and I forget the name of the fourth town. It was off 84 about halfway between Hartford and Tolland
