Pallet Pete would be Positively Proud If you're going to stack in single rows, which I kind of recommend, just use the trees as end posts.
Looking good. After thinking about this a little more, billb3 may be right. Since the wood is green and bark intact, rain will just run off. There...
If you are stacking in single rows, I would suggest 24 or 36 inch wide polyethylene sheet. Apply small patches of duct tape as reinforcement and...
[MEDIA] I've been using my Homelite splitter for about 10 years now. It splits everything up to about 24 in. diameter , it doesn't like oak...
That should work, but get some 6 mil (or heavier) poly and top cover, leaving the sides mostly open to breathe. They will dry significantly over...
I just looked at the OP's picture again. The largest splits (next to the stove) aren't all the same length, nor are they stacked with all the...
Um, how much water will those tarps hold? [IMG]
I'm with Backwoods Savage. Oak is kept separate from mixed softwoods. Oh, then there's cones, bark and kindling. So, maybe not quite as OCD, but...
It's like finding money sitting on the curb.
Agree with the others, nothing gained by felling the tree and leaving over winter. My limited experience with aspen (high Sierra, 1972) tells...

Those of you who process at home know what I'm talking about. Wherever I park my splitter I end up with a pile of bark and shreds. It can get...
You need therapy?! Wood hoarding IS therapy! I feel so calm and at peace after the latest haul is split and in the stacks. After a few days it...
Our little Douglas squirrels (pine squirrel or chickaree) like to build nests in my stacks after they've been top-covered. [ATTACH] Dry and...
I would suggest running your stove the way it was intended and watch this video on your TV. [MEDIA]
If you want a new toy, buy an MM. I just write the last two digits of the year on the end of several splits with a fat marker. If you're so...
3 Bonus points awarded to Mwalsh9152 for caring enough to spell "Sriracha" correctly. :coldone::coldone::coldone:
Any "meat" that must be ground up and stuffed in a casing in order to render it edible still isn't. Ketchup is a perfect accompaniment.
Smashed the nail on my LH ring finger between the hook and handle of my cant hook. Did a little swearing and dancing. It's almost healed now....
I have a neighbor who carries orange cones just for this type of scrounge. Maybe a fluorescent vest and some flares to complete the kit ?
