What type of wood pile do you have?

Just like me, all hardwood!

 

Each train car was dyed a different color.

 

Rows spaced for airflow, all available space under the roof used up.
I'd describe mine as "efficient"
Must have some German in me

 

Neat and organized that is for sure.

 

Nah just a tottering old guy with time and a bunch O chainsaws. (BTW just got a lead yesterday on a mint 357XP) Certainly don't need it but my friend, former owner of the saw shop said it is in extremely good condition and $200.

 

$200, a great price.

 

hmmm, it's hard for me to say where I fit in compared to my firewood...

I have multiple piles in varying conditions...does this mean I have multiple personalities?? Probably but it's never been diagnosed.

I have piles scattered throughout the property....which could mean I am a bit disorganized, but I plan to relocate my wood sheds and want to avoid moving the wood more than once...well, that's one of my excuses.
I have tall piles, short piles, piles that look like I was drinking and stacking (which I can't confirm or deny), piles waiting to be split and stacked, and logs waiting to be cut, split and stacked.

Regardless of the types of wood stacks I have, I'm proud of all of them and take comfort in knowing they will keep my family warm for years to come

 

I could not agree more. Regardless of what our wood stacks look like the firewood hoarding is really about our intentions to keep us warm for years to come.

 

Woody the Woodpecker?

 

I worked as a psychologist on a northern MN Indian Reservation for almost 10 years. The adage I heard often was, "you can tell how cold the winter will be by the size of the white man's woodpile." My friends there used to tease me a lot about this. But it was very good natured. As they say in Indian Country to an outsider, "if you are not being teased, it is probably time to leave."

These are very resourceful and adaptive people, but do not seem to have as much of the OCD gene as many of our European cultures. These folks really heavily on wood heat, but have a much more of a "in the moment" approach to woodcutting and heating, but obviously do it very well as they have for centuries, including many centuries heating wigwams, teepees, etc...

 

Here...this is why I am laughing...
Winter forecast... Not good
