    Finish stacking my winter wood supply up at the house. Went in and ate super. Came back out to put the tin on the pile and this is what greeted me.

    It has happened to most of us one time or another...well, not me personally. At least you don't have to haul it very far!...so that is a huge plus!

    Well, that just isn't cool.
    Hope it doesn't rain before that gets resurrected.

    A slacker would only have half a stack to pick up.

    Congratulations! You have earned your first Arrow Point, or should I say Wedge Point!:salute::rofl: :lol:

    It happens to all hoarders sooner or later, it's kinda a 'right of passage.'

    This spring my stacks were half covered with flood water. I guess it messed with the ground on which the pallets and wood sat. In mid summer, when we returned from our bicycle, trip I had 4 stacks tip. I spent too many 90°+ days restacking wood!:headbang:

    That is partly why I switched to cribs. Just chuck and cover. Way faster and no tippy.

    Well poo...that's no fun...been there done that though, sometimes when the spring thaw comes around I have a lil restack to do. A couple times I caught it just in time and was able to brace things up (literally propped up) before the whole thing toppled.

    I think in your case it might be that bug digging out from under your wood pile :D:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    If one of mine isn't falling over then I must be doing something wrong. I always thought it was the automatic scuffle feature of wood.

    I’ve never driven around with the snowplow pushing stacks up straight. Nope, never.

    Earth's gravitational pull, combined with the lunar cycle often will cause a detrimental angle to intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet thus causing said stack to topple.

    At least that's what I tell myself when it happens to me.
