    Thanks all

    I tried the "throw the splits in the atv trailer as I split" trick,
    worked well having my SIL helping. Though it filled up pretty fast.
    A bigger trailer needed if I was working solo.
    Square & rectangle end cross stack pieces went to the wheel barrow.

    Being lazy, I'm always tweaking the procedure a bit.

    Yea
    will get the hammer out & walk the stack in a few day to tweak the needed ones.
    I'll keep a list of all the ones youns all notice, & make sure to fix them :D

    Was that 3 over & 3 up ? left or right ? or 5 & 3 or 3 & 5 ? In the North or South row ? :rofl: :lol:
