    Totes are full, 12 of them stacked full is a touch over 3.5 cord. Used up some metal roofing and put my safety wire pliers to good use.

    Very nice, nicely organized.
    :yes:

    Kinda wonder what you do for a living.. don't often find anyone that call them safety wire pliers.. virtually never since I was in the USAF

    Lockwire I've heard in the civilian world.

    They're very handy to have around, but a bit pricey. I had a pair several years ago, but they've since gone AWOL.
    :confused:

    Fantastic job Aaron. :thumbs::salute::handshake:

    Does the predominant wind come from the picket fence side of the tote wall?

    I might have rotated them 90° to direct air over the end grain of the splits... :whistle:

    But that’s just me.....:salute:

    Yeah, safety wire pliers is what is motorcycle junkies call them. I've never heard of them being called anything else.



    Nice work bobdog2o02 !

    Very nice. I don't see how anyone could find fault with your wood stacks.

    Very nice ! Clean and organized and not an eye-sore for you and the neighbors.
    After this I really think it is time for me to think a little harder about this. I could easily move the totes when full up by the house with the tractor as needed.
    I pass a factory on my way to and from work on a daily basis and there are easily 20-30 just sitting there in the lot. I think this warrants a stop on my way home tonight.

    Good luck on freebies! I buy in quantity for $25 from a guy that does lake/pond treatment. Used once and rinsed clean. BTW, I have 1 face cord stacked. Everything else in totes. I love it!

    Just looked on my local CL and there are 3 there for 25 each. I would do them for that price.
