It did. It took me 6 weeks to restack this row. But, that included cutting a bunch of pallets, a good day of yard cleanup, combining wood to this pile, and taking SS wood out and stacking it elsewhere. Now I have more room for more wood!
Stumpy and another young man and myself moved all the wood from the house down to the seasoned stack today. About a cord we moved. That stack has 3+ cord now, including half a cord of SS EWP. That puts us at 31 cord conservatively, working on a 6 year plan. If we sold that @$250/cord that is $7750 in cash. If we use it and save $3000/yr on oil....yeah....not selling anything.
above 6' it really gets precarious. Even in a shed with cribbed ends and using the supports to support. Here's what I'm talking about. This is me at 6'4" needing a ladder. At the top it's well over 10'. This is cribbing the ends. I'll take a split and use it like a hammer to push splits back in. But you have to be careful popping lower splits back in, the ones up top will learn out more and can topple.
Today the 'big' pile got finished. I top covered it just as the rain was starting, having stacked some yesterday and this morning before church, and a little after. Road side Inside
I wish we had the space for that to be a fence! The smell of the wood in that volume is just amazing. That is a lot of wood to hoard though, a few hundred feet of frontage . . . .
Sad update. That big stack I thought was 14 cord.....I re measured, its 40'x6'x6.25 tall. Just around 12 cord.. Puts us at 30 cord on hand, not including the new pile from the Yard tree score.
Measure twice cut once, no wait...thats carpentry. You've got an extra two cord up your sleeve somewhere?
I recalculated, took out for the ends being angled at the top....not squared off. The top is level, but the ground slopes, so the up hill side is 6' tall, the downhill side is closer to 7'. Probably a more accurate number now.
