    Got it in. Started getting picky with the splits. Culled some stuff I'd normally stack.
    Near 1/3 cord didn't fit. Mostly good uglies, if there is such a thing :)

    Pallets look like there're almost ready for a new stack

    Debated if I should take the moose rack down, decided it should stay. Stacked around it.

    Here's the full 17/18 section, 8 cord +/- of birch :

    A thing of beauty! The shed and the mountains of course. It's nice when you're so far ahead that you can start culling splits from the stacks ;)

    Send the culls down the chute. :)
    Or is that bin already full?

    Since you didn't burn as much last year are you going to cut less than your normal quota or add on to the wood shed? :thumbs:

    We'll see how the Oct cutting goes.
    Plan is to have fun getting another 8-9 cord.

    Good thing is , the birch in the shed will last a long time.
    Might warp into the 4 or 5 year plan if we have a few more mild winters. :yes:

    Center section is for this winter.
    Having near 21 cord ( 3 years + ) under roof does feel good :yes:

    I love when you post pictures of your wood piles, shed & view!

    Of course, we are all living our "wood burning dreams", but your dream is particularly scenic. Good work and enjoy the warmth this winter.

    Yea
    I feel a little guilty culling some of the splits.
    Might stack it up & place an ad on CL for "seasoned" camp firewood.
    or just add it to the fire-pit stacks
