Those should set you up for a while Stinny. You know this is the Firewood Neighborhood? - not the empty wood rack 'hood Let's see them full
Already thinkin' about the next pair after these are full... could be a while... thinkin' is hard work...
... bout' broke a blood vessel strainin' trying to come up with sumthin witty right here........... nuthin...
I did a good bit of farming up there in the "Sticks" used to work a bunch of land for Old Chartier, we took care of his corn and pea rotation when he wasn't raking in millions from Humpty Dumpty on his potatoes - he sold out to Poland Springs and not long after lost the battle with a brain tumor. There was an old farmer named Stan not to far from the property, he's probably passed on as well. All good folks
Great cool morning to start stacking. Not quite a cord yet. I'd had enough by 11. 4 buckets and trailer loads so far tells me I'm gonna need at least one more crib for the tops still in the woods... maybe 2. Here's a pic this afternoon. The area is in the shade in the morning. Gooder for stackin.
Man, I keep looking at those and all I keep thinking of is how to put wheels and a drawbar on them. Kinda like a hay wagon.
It could work. Big wheels. Rugged frame under it too. That would prolly weigh 3 tons with green oak on.
They look awesome Stinny, very nice work indeed! They're going to look even better with wood stacked to the top!! I might build a few of these next year myself....
Hehehe... I was just out finishing up the first rack and looked thru the middle of the 2 rows thinkin' I might want to tie them together (another Bogydave idea) so they can't fall over. They're about 5' high in the middle. Would only take a second... but, I hope you're right tho, and the wood stays put.
I can see tying them together since it's so easy to do it when your stacking anyway, but I can't see those stacks going anywhere. My single rows are going downhill and the ground slopes to the rear of the stacks, two angle of tilt if you will. I've been ok up until now, but when I leave them there for 3 or 4 years and with frost heave and settling, I'm wondering if I'm going to have a problem. Your double wide and sitting on a solid wide platform on flat ground is the way to go.
They look very nice, Stinny. I like the idea of the greenhouse plastic. It is quite rugged as long as there are no sharp corners to rub on.
