    Looks like the center stack over your wood pile is working pretty well? I know it's only 2" so far, but so far so good :)

    How part apart are the posts on your shed? How far apart are you rafters? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Posts are 16 feet apart (total length is 48 feet)
    24" centers on the (8 foot) rafters
    (Holds 5 rows of 17" splits)
    Average height is about 7-1/2 feet high
    Left side is the short side, right side is near 9' in the front.

    Nice shed! Gives me some ideas for my next one. Are the posts just in the ground or are they in concrete? It doesn't look like the pallets are attached to the shed, nice for when they need to be replaced, a pole barn with no sides.

    Like Pete, we got snow today. Not a lot but enough to cover the ground. Still has the grass areas covered and also the trees as the temperature really fell along with the snow. But that is all done now and we shouldn't get more snow for a while now.

    Wow, that ice and snow, well let's just say I put the comforter on my lap. Nice thinking about a hot cup of tea.
    I have to get my sand/salt buckets ready.

    It looked like that here last week and I'm way South of you. I though that was it for my mountain bike riding activities, but it gradually all melted and I managed to go for a ride today up the mountain today.

    The important thing is it looks like you have plenty of fuel to heat the house. :)
