Google Earth images aren't necessarily recent. I think that pile has evolved significantly since the satellite snapped that picture.

You are probably right, looks like they split and stacked all the logs out front!
 
Scotty needs to ad a new category to his firewood hoarders club.
Yeah, something like "Super Prepper or Doomsday Club." Heck, this guy could be the president of either club.

I'm with you
Something's not quite right with that picture. ? ?
Now that you mention it, it does kinda look strange. How do you stack that high?..with a bucket, maybe? No way you are gonna climb up on it with an arm full of splits to add more. If that pile in the back ever let's go, that house is kindling.
 
I have only been talking to the contractors project manager. I need to get answers straight from the head honcho.
This is way beyond logical thinking. !!!

I drove up Rt 7 in CT from Norwalk to Redding last weekend and I saw a couple piles like those. I was running late and couldn't stop to take pictures. Anybody here from around there and know what I am talking about?

Steve - The picture I posted is on RT 7 in Wilton on the right hand side as you head north. The pic I got was from Google, but I think the stack is bigger now
 
They may be OWB owners. Those guys commonly go thru 20+ cords per year, although I've never seen any of them split or season for 2 - 3 years.

That may have been one of the stacks that I saw. I also saw an impressive stack on the left side along the way.
 
Somehow I don't think he uses the FIFO method...:eek:

My first thought was that most everyone says they can't stack wood on unlevel ground. Evidently this fella didn't know that. Shoot, he has more wood than Scotty does.
 
The original post is from a tree service, so it makes more sense. Better use of space compared to dumping it into a giant heap like most tree services that split and sell firewood.
 
First In First Out. Used with business inventory and stock holdings, etc. for accounting purposes
 
Gotta confess that I have a big problem just COMPREHENDING what those pictures show.
