bogydave, I noticed something for the first time in your pictures. The plywood squares and knotted rope looks like a good technique for keeping the stacks tight. Do you have them on all your stacks in the shed and at what spacing? Nice work and great pictures!
Thanks Yes 17" , tight to where I have to jam the splits behind the plywood. Got a thread somewhere discussing it. 1/2" hole & 1/2" rope . The 17/18 wood I tried just one in the center. Seems pretty stable so far: + (tied row 6 end cross-stack to the shed corner post )
Nice setup! I especially like the chute and the part where you use gravity to do some of the heavy lifting.... Brian
Yea clear skies 14° now. Frost going deeper with no snow to insulate the ground. Walk/drive on the grass & it breaks , crunchy sounds, pushing the frost even deeper. We need snow !!! None in the forecast for at least a week
Did 2 more loads yesterday When full ; measurements are close to 3 cord there 2 or 3 more loads to go, Today maybe
Finished up today 14° Making room for 16/17 wood ! Should be enough to get thru most of the long dark winter Now I've got a place to keep this year's moose antlers dry :
Yeah that will be nice to not have to go out in the deep snow and blowing wind for an armful of wood! I dont keep as much inside as you but usually 1-2 weeks in my attached garage. Sure is a lot less hassle!
