    Well, I've had a busy week.

    If you've seen my other threads, I have re-worked some stacks and took an order of logs. About a cord. That order as well as some scrounging, has netted me about 2 cords of CSS'd wood.

    Before -

    Now -

    The rack with the blue covering is where I hope to place a double row of 3 8ft racks, like what is to the left of the American flag.

    I think I've got about 7 cord sitting there. Once I have the additional stacks in place, that'll give me storage for another 2 cords. That'll just about max out my storage area, and give me the 3yr target amount!!

    And just because I can't help myself -

    Before the past two years, I'd say I was burning 3.5-4 cords a year. Last year, about 2+ cords. Tracking to be about the same amount this year. Most of the time, I'm burning oak. Mostly red, with some white mixed in.

    So I am guessing based on the flag, you prefer softwood over hardwood? :doh:

    This one has been relatively gibber free so far. The Pats are always on radio silence. That's there program. Pittsburg tried to be after the locker room broadcast. Very apologetic and respectful.
    I haven't heard boo from the Falcons yet.
    I like it that way. I think the trash is trash and lessens all who partake in it.
