I am good thru 14-15 as of late March. The mild winter was a good thing for me. 12+ cords jambed on my 1/4 acre. I am to capacity and won't start scrounging again until fall.
How's your piles doing?

My 2012-2013 stacks have stopped shrinking. My 2013-2014 stacks are shrinking and my 2014-2015 stacks have just begun to start shrinking. Also my neighbors are still asking if I have enough wood, to which I reply, "I'm good until I find that next big scrounge". No one seems to relate to me around here.
When my friends say something like "geez, got enough wood?", I just say enough for what? Then I tell them that is not even two years worth. Nobody can imagine how much wood it really takes to heat a home unless they've done it.
I'm almost done with 13/14.

Very true......unless you have kept a fire going all winter you can't fathom how much wood it really takes. Even some of the very efficient stoves that guys have on here burn 3 cord and to someone that has not been around this type of thing that's a pile of wood.
I have maple, hack, mulberry and little oak for 12/13 and the remainder of the maple, American elm and oak for 13/14. The AM elm isn't split yet but the oak is out wind and sun bathing.
Thanks for the compliments on the Shed, Dad helped me build it a few years ago.
That is is this coming year and 13-14. Four cords (8 rows in the shed) were split last fall. I still have about 1-2 more cords to split. I was organizing today, the rest of what gets split will be stacked outside.
Here's what's left...
Here's where it will go
Here's the crap wood, un-stackable, punky, un-splitable...campfire wood
