    Since everyone has been burning away in this cold snap had to work off my Turkey dinner from last night.
    Cold broke here ~11am climbed up to 52 with a stiff breeze, but I didn't break a sweat. A bit nicer than putting up wood when it's 92F and 50% humidity.
    6-1/2' high - hopefully the stack holds until 2017/18

    Nice stack of oak !

    Looks like a nice day too,
    the cold spell should finish off the leaves.

    50° temps are much better to process wood in than the 90°s

    'Twas perfect day for processing wood.
    The leaves are taking a good hit, never seen the woods this open this time of year. Should make things easier to see when gun season opens Saturday;)

    Nice looking stack. I had a stack of red oak that met the same fate as your white. Couldn't help but laugh when I walked outside next morning :rofl: :lol:

    I just sat on the front stoop with a cold beer and marveled at my neat laid over stack

    I live by the "IT IS WHAT IT IS" mentality - can't change it post incident, just restack and move on

    BTU's stacked or otherwise. You'll still enjoy the heat.
