    The plastic pallets we get come from India or Indonesia, bulk bags shipped in on them

    Looking real good Pete. I'm liking it:thumbs:. I've got 10 filled right next to the boiler & will put another 10 in with shoulder wood soon. No ties on the tops of mine. I'll put up a pic later.

    This is the fill method I can fit a good amount in the bins this way.

    That is really impressive. Mixed hardwoods in each or are the bins sorted?

    Mostly sorted by species some are a little mixed depending on what was left though.

    Maybe two more bins will fit along the back yet. Made very good progress. Now I have to go lay down as I’ve got a migraine from the heat:picard: neighbor saved the day!

    What did we ever do before zip ties, duct tape and velcro? Maybe the same as we did before WD-40?
