So...... I'm heading in this direction for storing chunks of wood Quarter inch hardware cloth. There's about 8in overlap, on the cylinder. The overlap is a simple stitch/weave with some stiff wire. I still need to figure out how to cover the top. Shouldn't be a big deal. I think I've seen this type of storage here before. The decision I need to make, is to cut the cloth at the bottom to remove the wood when needed, or, unweave the overlap, as needed. Any experienced input?
MikeInMa how's it going? I use old garden fencing in a circle like that for my splitter scraps (kindling.) These are tiny and relocate to the basement in a garbage barrel during winter so no top cover and I put my kids inside the middle when it is too deep to reach to finish it off. So... borrow my kids?
I’m trying to figure out a system like yours myself. Thing of it is that there’s a lot wood that I’ve got and will continue to collect it but if I may jut in and ask if just making a set of posts at each corner or close to, with a cross piece then it might be easier getting access to it when all is said and done? Merely thinking about weight and all giving the cloth some sagging out in the bottom... I had thoughts on making something like this but more structurally sound, better metal as panels or wood framing with that cloth on it. Mostly finding that I get quite a bit of splitter garbage splitting really knotty pieces and they don’t stack well.
Kids? That's a mighty kind offer. But NO! Respectfully, of course. Those stereo components still treating your speakers well?
Come on, they need to earn their keep, ya know? Stereo still bumping. I lost the Phono input, but I may have overdriven as it was a regular line drive but I liked the low end response the best there. And now I either have crappy RCAs or a set of inputs going bad as I lose a speaker and have to wiggle the back to get it back alive. But the amp is money and I rattle the house when I need to.
I'm almost ashamed to say it but due to the top quality wood that the stosesmen and I have hoarded over the past 2 years, I will not burn anything less thn perfect in the house. Anything that isn't perfect gets burned outside. I'm sure eventually I'll be forced to burn less than perfect. Until then I will enjoy every minute of it!! ASNR!!
I moved chunks, this morning. They were oddly stacked, but I wanted the rack they were on for other stuff. To avoid water pooling, there's two T-posts laying across, supporting thin plywood, covered by roofing rubber that's bungeed. Big winds and rain the next few days. It'll be interesting to see how wet it gets, or not. I'm not satisfied with the top. Doing some thinking there. Maybe a bigger sheet of plywood, and no t-posts. The pkywood there is 2 smaller sheets of scrap.
I just brought in 3 tubs of chunkies. Have to clear out the outside bins. Loaded the stove twice with one tub. Gotta burn them all.
I know I’ve mentioned this before. But I keep three 90 gallon, flip top cans full of chunkies and cutoffs as my emergency plan. I keep them right next to the house. I bungee the lids shut. The wood stays nice and dry. And when we get a 4 foot snow storm and the region shuts down for a few days - I still have these little babies, dry and ready to go!
My last chunky customer now wants regular splits. so i accommodated. CL here i come. Giving them to my landlord as i get them from now on.
Just make sure the Mrs doesnt mistake that for the regular trash and bring it to the curb. That would be tragic!
Since I started selling firewood I’m overwhelmed with chunks and uglies. I’ve been burning as much as possible. It’s pretty much all Ive been burning when I’m home and can reload more often. Wish I had a couple free garbage cans like Cash Larue !!
Burning chunks and nuglies is like getting one over on the power company Twice. You get to have your heat like usual but you aren't using up your beautiful stacks! I don't have any totes so my only gripe is that the nuglies don't stack. I have to get at least one tote to store the chunks and nuglies then top cover.
