Never considered where to put year 4 stacks... Input please

Here's the aerial view from my son's window upstairs. This portion of the yard under the pines runs to the street, perhaps a 45'x60' section of my 1 acre of the American dream. With just 2 tree removals I was able to have an easily accessible firewood lot. Truck, trailer, tractor all fit in there and split then just a few feet to the stacks.

I find myself finally on year 3 in the stacks and another half cord ready for year 4, plus some in length.

Where to put it? I don't know if going another row in will allow it to get any sun at all. I don't want rotten wood, and I try to stack only once until it is ready to burn. This is the western side, with stacks running N/S.

Any thoughts? This is the only area I want to stack near as it is easy access.

 

I see room for at least three more rows there!

I'm going to run out of room too. I was thinking about doing holzhausens after that.

Nice stacks

 

Keep hoarding and stacking until you have a huge maze and then charge the neighbors to use it!

 

I don't but that's a pretty sight right there Cnice

 

Surprised no one suggested cutting more trees to get more sun! C'mon fellas.

I might try to make a 4th row and if I find it needs to be moved.... Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've had to stack twice.

That front row is year 3. Already leaning so I pushed it back. That's what I get for stacking at night, but time isn't exactly plentiful so make stacks when the moon shines, or something like that.

 

Absolutely brilliant. That's thinking!

 

I'm thinking even if you have wood that is 3 or 4 years away from being used it doesn't necessarily need direct sun. It may just dry in that amount of time with the summer heat and the wind.

 

There is a such thing as having too much... you know like the old lady with 38 cats type thing

 

Some shade won't make your wood rot

 

Are you referring to scotty???

 

I have my 5 cords wrapped around the borders like a fence in the back and side. Mine don't get much sun either, and they dry in time. They also like to lean, especially if I try to stack them over 5 ft. high.
I was considering making a holtzhausen too, but 1) I really don't have the know-how to do it right, 2) it would probably take up more room in girth than I want, and 3) I am so anal that I would never want to deconstruct it once I got it assembled.

 

Ahem... do you know anyone who has experience climbing trees? You know... for work or sumthin... Maybe they could get up there and take a few pics of the famous "cube" for all of us FHC hoarders to see... The satellite view is good but a pic from that pine would be cool... Oh yeah, maybe a pic of the guy who goes up there to take the pic would be cool too...

 

... you crazy, man... climb all day then come home and climb some more... but... we need those pics... we need em... ...

 

Why doesnt he just use his bucket truck.... oh wait he IS a bucket truck

 

No joke!
I have 2-3 cords in my driveway that have been there for over a month. I hate stacking wood bad enough while working, then to do it at home.. yeah...
