2011-12 wood

Nice stack, and well-protected. I'll be burning a lot of Ash this season as well.

Nice stacks there, you must have been to the BackSav school of neat stacking ;-)

Hey, don't blame me woodchip. Looks like I might learn something from sblat. Nice work indeed.

Very nice stacks there!

They look good, nice and neat. I could never get my stacks to look that good no matter how hard I tried.

That is way too purty to Burn

Must be the way they do things in Michigan :cheese:

Nice work sblat. Like others have said. Money in the bank.

Just plainly, a real nice picture of a beautiful stack of fire wood.
Great job!

Thanks for all the nice words. I sure am happy with my new stove. I think when it comes down to the really cold days of January and February I might need the furnace a little, but overall it is saving me lots. Man this stuff is addicting. All I did yesterday after a big wet snow storm is look around at all the wood I could gather up from all the downed trees.

Nice spot for those too. Good access with the door right there. Wait, is that a door or a window? Now, I'm confused.
How much of the white stuff did you get? I have a sis-in-law living in Lansing area, but she hasn't told us how bad the snow was yesterday.
The system got up near us and just broke up as it got to our county.
Where's next years wood? :coolsmile:

I need to come hang out with the other Michigan guys and pick up some tips. I didn't cover my wood for next year. It's split & stacked and on pallets. I was told don't bother covering it for the winter. Just cover it during our next spring rainy season and I'll be good to go for next year. It's all Honey Locust.

My attitude to storms changed completely when I got into woodburning and noticed all the trees ready to collect..... ;-)

Some cover and some don't. I do the splitting in March/April after snow melt. Then stack immediately but do not cover until just before snow flies in the early winter. Top cover only if you do cover.

Cutting wood over across the pond would be really fun in some spots. I remember many many moons ago I was over there with my unit teaching a British Reserve Army unit for U.N. Duty. We were doing maneuvers in a forest and I noticed ALL the trees were in perfect rows, in line with each other. I thought it was really cool. It must have looked like a peg board from the sky. I was informed that the forests there were all replanted after WWII.

It looks like your carport is just big enough for a year's wood supply. Whether that was good planning or just luck, it worked out!

All serving Americans get a warm welcome here, my Dad was stationed at Upper Heyford with a group of US servicemen during the Berlin Airlift, never stopped talking about what great guys they all were.

And yes, our forestry guys like trees in neat rows

Hey woodchip, we know of a fine couple and love to visit with them. He was stationed over there during the war and brought home a wonderful, wonderful bride. Everyone around here just loves them.

Woodchip, It was really amazing walking down an old road in Whales and looking at an old cobblestone wall & thinking to myself that it was older than my own country.

Funny story, releasing a company of American Paratroopers loose in London for a weekend could have been disastrous. We were not used to the higher alcohol content in the U.K. A few of us from my platoon got hammered and kicked out of the Rolex Watch store in London. Apparently, they didn't find any humor in my asking them if they had any watches with "Indiglo." We sure thought it was funny...... :lol: Ahhhh, when I was a young buck.......

We have to be careful with beer here.

Some is over 6%, which is not good news if you drink some then work with any machinery,chainsaws etc:

My favourite beer........ obvious really ;-)
