    Wind partly blew the plastic off one of my stacks the other day. I needed a couple of the sheets of OSB from the top for another stack anyhow. Had to climb on top to recover. Cool view. Tooks some pics of my wood "mess". View from ground level when i pull in IMG_4545.JPG The OSB was stained for use as a wedding dance floor. And yes i know the stack is too tight. It will get moved eventually. I was in a pinch a couple Summers ago for storage. All oak stacked and still waiting. IMG_4544.JPG IMG_4543.JPG
    View South. BL rounds from recent score IMG_4539.JPG
    View East. My nine cord cribbed stack started a year ago. Already pulling splits. Empty rack to get moved to back and new racks reoriented for better access and drying. IMG_4540.JPG
    View North. Mound of dead BL splits and skinnies to be bucked IMG_4541.JPG
    View West. Three cord stack of dead BL plus temporary stack of TOH and dead BL splits. Chestnut oak rounds in the foreground. One cord bin of
    nuggets far right. Most of the splitting and cutting happens in the "alley" here. IMG_4542.JPG
    This is the front area only. My area in back cannot be accessed with truck as yard is too muddy. I am able to stack and split back there. You guys with big open areas dont realize how lucky you are!

    The only time you are not cutting/ splitting, and stacking wood is when you are taking pictures. And sleeping. You do that, right?

    :whistle::rofl: :lol:

    Pretty soon you'll be able to walk across your whole yard without even touching the ground.

    Most of it was a wooded area with no grass. Started out with six cord of mixed oak 2.5 years ago and has grown a bit. :whistle: The cribbed stack was the only one on grass.
    He offers more room and i decline...at first!

    I found a squirrels nest under the OSB, but looks like Rocky abandoned it some time ago. Posted pic in the recent "critters in stacks" thread. Find snake skins. Mice nesting too and cant remember the last time i found a mouse. I think snakes get em!

    Ya know Brad, a D4 Cat dozer will make a big open area pretty fast.:DSeriously though, that hoard looks good! Glad you've at least got a spot to store wood.
