    I do the same thing even with my stacks tight to each other. Mine are usually 3 deep on a pallet. I will do that every 2 or 3 feet about halfway up the center stack. I keep knocking my stacks over like an idiot this year though. I hit one with the mower and the other with my cut box trying to move it while climbing over a pile of rounds. :rofl: :lol::whistle:

    It works because the lower half didn't fall only the top half. :thumbs:

    Ahhh yup, you do... we all know it... even Scotty Overkill knows it. We drove by a guy's stacks last week and he said he thought those were almost as straight\vertical as Papadave's... :stacke:... you da man... :dex:... (I still think you use a laser level... ;))

    You guys will get a kick out of this one. A couple months ago I was looking at one of the deer blinds I built out of firewood. This one:

    As I was passing it one day I happened to notice it had started leaning outward. Ah. Single row, easy fix. I was on the tractor so I just drove up along side of it and bumped it with the side of the bucket in 3 or 4 places. Problem fixed! I remember laughing about it at the time wondering if I should have taken a video for you guys.

    I suppose this could work on other stacks if needed but hopefully it won't be needed.

    yep - a little tap-tap with a hammer, or just another split, to realign things, is what I do, as needed.
