sitting around watching tv last night when i heard the distinct sound of a falling wood pile, went out and investigated today and found what use to be this CSS cord of Birch Now looking like this, the back row had been leaning for awhile now and finally feel into the front row after a couple hours or so, back to this
What causes falling wood piles is defective wood. You need to immediately load that bad wood and bring it to my place before it infects any more of your wood. I will quarantine it as a favor to you.
Not to bad of a slope where that stack is, if you look at the stack in the background to the left, I have that one shimmed about 10" to level it out a bit I than sunk 4x4 posts in the ground and lag bolted them to the stacking skid this area is my drying / seasoning area After it seasons i put into my covered bins for burning My yard is not the greatest when it come to processing and stacking wood, got to be creative about it
Had one tumble here a couple months ago. Another threatening to fall is shored up with 4 X 4's and rope. They do lean toward the downslope even with that runner built up higher. Strange.
I was just out yesterday with a 4lb engineer hammer attempting to re-plumb one of my stacks. It's the second time I've had to do that, I stacked on a slope, and I guess the logs I used to level my pallets are starting to sink some.
I read that there was another earthquake in MO this weekend. Was one in Los Angles recently. No doubt this was the real cause. The shocks coming from different directions wrecked havoc.
