    Set more strapping but need a taller ladder to finish. In my younger years id've climbed up there but if I did that yesterday 911 would've been called.:emb: Stacked the rest of the red maple. Maybe three cords in there so far. IMG_6767.JPG IMG_6766.JPG
    Framed the floor for the other side addition and got it "leveled". IMG_6768.JPG IMG_6770.JPG

    That's a lot of firewood in a small area. Looks great!

    Yes. The thread title is "additions" Going on the left side. Volume will be cord and a half.

    Wasnt sure what I was putting in there, but looks like general cordage since I dumped red maple there. I had thought maybe a spot for smoker wood. Maybe in the future. Always a work in progress.

    How well does the wood in the middle season? Do you ever have a problem with it rotting? I have had wood in piles before, and the stuff in the middle would rot.

    Lessens the sagging factor. If I was only stacking 4-5' high it would be okay single, but at 6.5' there's a lot of weight in there.

    I had that happen years back when I crammed a bunch of oak in a tight stack.

    Wood in the center does dry. Maybe not as fast as the outer splits. Look back at some of the picture updates and you'll see I space the stacks a couple inches and with the open design the air flows pretty good through it. The yard in front of it gets a decent breeze.

    I like to get 12+ months ahead so the wood I'm bundling will be nice and dry. I fell behind a bit as its pot luck with my scrounging as to what I get.

    Oh... I thought it was your old girlfriend that was associated with sagging. :whistle:
