    Right now, I am burning wood from the stack in my garage. When the really cold weather hits I take it from my front porch, and got that laid in today. A nice mix of red oak, ash, beech, sugar maple with cherry mixed throughout.

    I was going to say snarky things about all that space and teeny wood box, and then saw the properly loaded pictures.
    Good stacking around the hose bib.
    The lace leaf maple (is that what it is?) Is neat. Always liked those.

    Not a hose bibb - electrical outlet, but needs to be accessible nonetheless. :) I believe the ornamental tree is a Japanese Maple of some sort.

    Nice setup! Gotta be about a cord or so you can fit in there. Accessible, dry, and the mess is outsideā€¦..I love it!

    Not sure if that spot was planned during construction, but it works perfect.

    When we bought the house 21 years ago I thought the exact same thing. It is perfect for our use.
