    Fun update.
    The tall dark one and I moved more wood to the shed yesterday....over half a cord.
    We completed the third row from the back of the shed. 3 left to get to the front.
    The ends are bowing out as the stack ends push out. I added vertical supports at the end of each row, but that wasn't enough.
    Of the 12.6 cord space available, im estimating we have 9.5 in there.

    JWinIndiana Do you have any pics of the installation of that solar light? Would love to see how you installed it.:handshake:

    I have two woodsheds that the opening faces the South. If I remember correctly, I drilled a hole and put the collector on the outside facing S. and the light inside and it has worked for years! (probably just jinxed it! :p). Mine has a pull cord on it. Tried two different battery operated lights over the years, but the colder it got the dimmer they got. This has been a great light for us.
    For the size of yours, two or more might do the job. With ours it is enclosed so the light is captured.
    For your situation, depending on what bay you are unloading from/working in, you might get away with moving the light the distance of the cord throughout the area.

    The Wood Wolverine He is a kind hearted man. Lost his wife, good heart. Glad to have him with us.

    He does need better work wear....boots, etc. Will see to it.

    I will keep the grill away from.....loosing the wood and shed would be a pretty tough loss.

    I used clip on work lights, home cheapo, $10 each. Led bulbs inside, 4' cord....so I can move them down the rafters as needed. I like the string up lights though.

    JWinIndiana Doggo is the love of my life.
    Built her a bed so I can reach her at night for some attention.
    I wake to her nose in my face, licker going.
    And, the height of her bed gets her off the floor, out of the dust and cool.
    It's about 14" tall.

    Seems like that's what an awful lot of the "kids" wear these days. I'm 70 and would call those pajamas but apparently they are comfy pants.
    Not work wear, for sure. Hey bellbottoms were de rigueur for guys for a short while ....

    He's also an indoor cat. In school, taking up spiritual studies, dealing w loss and grief, keeping the house up as he can, job searching.
    If he goes on real jobs proper gear will happen.

    This project is done, more or less.
    I added a fence, mounted right to the wall. Will paint to match the shed. It will dress up the whole thing so the neighbors don't have to look out and see tires.
    (pics whenever I can).
