I'm trying to stack a little tonight. Alright Shawn Curry, I need a little help here.. Mine aren't nearly as precise!
Since this stuff is cut a little shorter than what I would do, I'm gonna lay uglies down the middle while trying to lean the stacks in a little for stability. I'm also gonna crib about every 4 feet instead of 9.
Shoot Drvn4wood, Shawn Curry would do nothing but lure you away from the stacks towards the fridge in the garage Of course Curry knows I'm kidding!
Yeah, but apparently I don't know of how to use it..lol.. This has taken quite a bit of time and 3 beers to accomplish!
Did you remember to send your firewood laser away for its yearly calibration against a certified wood stack standard?
That's a great haul for the price! That's about what you'd pay around here for 2 "cords" - only they're talking about face cords, not full! Stacks look good too! Making cribs every 4 feet will certainly give you more practice... Honestly I cheated on mine - the crib wood was 90% slab from the lumber I made, so it had one side sawn flat.
Only problem I see is the pallets aren't full yet. haveissues is right, I'm pretty sure firewood laser calibration is a yearly thing.
If you have the space, load it up! Great firewood, great price, good feeling having plenty of dry wood. Contemplating buying some rounds from my local tree guy; don't really need it, but I have the space and it will be plenty dry when I need it down the road.
Here's what I've stacked so far. It's all of the first load but after seeing how nice Shawn Curry's stacks look, I started taking 2 sides off the smaller rounds with the fiskars for cribbing like slab wood so I have a pile of those I'm waiting to use.. Probably about .8 cords per load once stacked. Thought it would be a hair more but I'm pleased with that for the price and white ash..
Thanks Eric. Definitely gonna grab a few more loads since the price is right and it's so close.. Plus I like the family selling the wood.. Real nice people..
On a random side note, when I was coming back with the load the car directly in front of me was involved in a really bad looking accident. 55 mph 2 lane and someone pulled out right in front of them.. I was the first one to go up to the car and really wasn't sure what I'd see.. fortunately, all involved were physically OK just shaken.. A split second sooner and the t-bone would have been in the door rather than the truck's bed.. Drive safely people and look twice.. Just glad all 4 occupants of the 2 vehicles were alright..
