I spent time today splitting up the last of the rounds I had scrounged and took my annual year end inventory of my Woodland. I am up to 21.5 (full) cords stacked and approx 3-4 cords piled up. I took a few pictures to share.....enjoy

New York here... and it is a shady spot. I would prefer to have a sunny area for stacking but dont, so you roll with what you got. I am fortunate to have the space - actually the land where the stacks are belongs to my neighbor in the back - I have his blessing to stack there. No problem with wood rotting. Most are top covered with metal from a 4' above the ground pool that I helped a friend take down. The 4' width is perfect size as I stack on pallets. Now that the inventory has increased I am searching for more good cover material - for now I rotate, leaving the new stacks uncovered.
NH - no plans to sell any. To me the value of being ahead and having a "rainy day" stash is worth more than what I could get to sell some. I did sell a cord last winter, right before xmas, to a friend who had moved into a new house and had not had time to get his wood. He knew he couldnt buy seasoned wood so asked if I wanted to sell a cord. To his credit, he did get his wood for this winter in time to season.... I was wondering if he would be back again this year but he didnt have to.... which I was glad about. I liked helping him out but didnt want to get into a regular routine.

Now you did it, gave them the idea :bug:CTYank said:Nobody's yet mentioned the best part of maintaining inventory like that- it's not taxable.

I believe you are asking about a pile of unstacked splits. Looks a little odd because when I was splitting - vertically of course - and tossing the splits to the pile I ended up having to be careful on space so I could maneuver around the area. The pile actually wraps around a couple of stacks on pallets. Temporary until I either lay out some more stacks or free up space from usage (the HH or HM.... is due to meet its flaming death this heating season and I think I will use the "pile" to build a new one....just to keep some character in Woodland). My normal stacks are rows of pallets, between 3-5 pallets long.
