    6 rows in, one more to go in the first bay.

    I ended up partitioning the other span with extra 2x12s. The first two bays are 15ft, the second is 10ft.

    It'll take a while to fill this thing.

    A few more rows in. Using the skidsteer now after way too many wheelbarrow loads to count.

    Hope to get the fascia on next week or so. I may add more blocks to the rafters but my building inspector liked everything so far. Gutters in October...
    one long run, one downspout.

    So here's a question that I've been thinking about a lot lately as I'm putting up wood for the winter. Do you think you could stack more wood in the shed if you stacked it going the other way?

    Good question, haha. I left a pole's width space behind the first stack, but that's the only empty space.
    It wouldn't have the stability in my design going the other way (open ends).

    I have a similar shed but not as nice. Someday. The past few years I have stacked the opposite way the ends I did stack like a wall so the other stacks where lock in kinda. I feel like I got more wood under there but my wife pulled some math on me and said it was the same amount either way.

    should be the same amount of wood either way N/S or E/W, but N/S might be easier to deal with using and restacking without having to move stuff around. I really dislike spending time restacking and moving it and moving it and moving it.
