    Was sure hoping to get it all split and stacked but did get a good jump on it.

    Thanks. Juts can’t hang the bigger ones up, you can run into them if you don’t pay attention.

    Nice. Be careful of the back window in your pickup. . A friend made me a couple wall mount saw hangers. They are Great. Finally my saws are put up where they don't get kicked , stepped on or stuff piled on them.
    Nice looking stacks.

    I don’t have far to haul it and all backroads, but yes I am still mindful of the back window. I do get a little out of hand sometimes tho. Thanks for the reminder!

    Yes nice work!

    You can put a ratchet strap across the top of the first row to secure the stack down so they don't migrate to the rear window. I'm sure there's tie down points at the front of the bed corners.

    A cheap and effective window protector. Is a piece of 3/4 plywood with a rectangular hole cut in it about 10" high by 20" wide with a piece of expanded metal/ 3/4" diamonds/ concrete floor reinforcing. Cut a couple inches over size and stapled or screwed on to cover the hole . But it will give visibility And prevent and wood from flying up and breaking the window. It can be laid down in the bed when the truck is empty and stood up in place when loading starts. The first stack of wood will hold it in place.
    Having broken about 6 back windows out of pickups. I promise it is about 100 times easier to do and use and about the same times less expensive than having a rear window replaced. ;-)
    A piece of screen from a rock crushers or shaker plant works equally as well. Maybe better.

    I notice several different lengths of logs in that load. Is there a reason for that?

    Pecan, Oak , and Hickory. Sounds like some good smoking wood.

    There is a reason, not a good one but a reason nonetheless. My dad was cutting with me and he cuts them pretty short. I prefer 22-24 , saw some 14-16 this weekend. I don’t really care honestly as they all burn! I usually throw theb14” pieces in a pile and take them to my neighbor, he has a small stove and loves the short ones. Keen eye by the way !
