I want your input on storage.

I just got that! Very slick.....

 

Both fresh split, the walnut got cut down 8 days ago, the pine about 2 or so months ago. But both freshly resplit. Gonna check them again around end of January

 

I really like your tarp rig.
Is it a pain in the butt to move them?

 

Move the tarp? Depends on how physically fit one is. I’m doing this way because physically stacking that much wood is beyond my mental and physical capabilities LOL
They are of the heavier thickness.

 

Explain it then please, I never could figure it...

 

I've not heard them referenced as "piles" since I was a young boy and heard my Papaw complaining about his piles.

 

That's a new one for me!

 

It is an old time term. I actually used the term in one of my old threads.
All this huge oak is giving me piles...of wood!

 

Nothing like working when you got piles or (thrombosed hemmeriods) stuck out the side of you hole. I would imagine it's a similar pain to childbirth?

 

I most always cover once wood is split. Anything else does not compute.

 

All I care about is adequate ventilation and not sinking into the mud.

 

Progress on outdoor storage/processing area.
I'm working on getting my outdoor stockpile setup. Decided I will buck logs in a separate area to keep mess down. (hopefully on job site)
Then I will split right on front of my hoard and just throw on the heap. This is the most efficient setup I can think of as it will be the least amount of moving. Before mow season starts I plan to throw my currently dry stored wood on the back of the pile. Next winter I will burn from back to front. Hopefully will have a tractor by next winter and at the end of the season push the remainder back to the edge and start the process over. If I keep getting tree jobs like I have been, my 30 cord goal should be easily obtainable

 

I’ve tried piles and I’ve tried stacking. Except for the time spent stacking, Ive never regretted stacking.

 

I stack off the ground. I cover next year's supply. This year's supply is in a woodshed.

Just started the great migration of wood from dry storage, to respliting and throwing on the heap. Made decent progress on it today probably a couple cords
