Ha! I love this. At what point did you decide, "I need to start a new row..." ? :)
 
Holey smokes...

When I started, the back row was full, so i knew I would need a second row! My neighbor hooked me up with a free load!

Some nice big splits in those rows. Beautiful piece of property! *Big thumbs up*

Thank you.....i feel lucky and thank my dad for building this with me (including the sheds)....I figured I can split again if needed.......I'm new to this.......the big splits that I had last year, my first, seemed to burn slow and steady.

My wife almost left me when I suggested we use an insert.....Now she loves the warmth. All great learning from here.

My fav pic is the one with the two sheds in it. Love the little barn, nice design. I scrutinized the end brackets on your rows, are they the Rutland metal brackets? And you just ran 2 x 4's down thru the pallets? I like that idea. I might try that instead of cribbing.
Lots of elbow grease in those pics. Nice job.

Thank you very very much for the nice words. The little barn came about from the Mrs asking if I could do something about the clutter in the garage. It is 100% synthetic materials on the outside.....vinyl, Azek, etc.

The end brackets are a mix of Rutland brackets and some simple Strong Tie 90 degree supports from home depot. As you know they really don't need to be crazy strong as most of the weight is a downward vector. Yes, I just ran short, about 2', 2x4s down the pallet. Again, they don't have to be crazy strong.

Thanks for taking time to view the pictures.

Question...
is any of it covered, other than that in the wood shed?
Do you use the wood shed for current use and then relocate open wood to shed to keep it dry before use?
Very impressive!
 
wow!!! thats alot of wood
