This week I finished my firewood wall. The storms last year, a huge Red Oak scrounge and a mild winter made this year's work quick and easy. After splitting and stacking all the wood piled all over my back yard from the fall and winter, I have filled my approx. 12 cord stacking space. That should be just over three season's worth. I don't really have to bring any wood home until I start burning in the fall. This will be the first summer since we bought the house in 2003 that I won't be dealing with firewood. I'm not sure what I'll do with all that free time. I keep seeing wood around, but I really have no place for more wood on my suburban 1/4 acre.
I think I'll come in at less than 2 1/2 cords burned this year. I have located the other 1 1/2 cords that I would have needed after a normal winter. I hope it is still there in the fall. It will be nice NOT to work in the summer heat.
I haven't downloaded the pictures yet, but here is the space I had to fill to complete this 32x4x5 section of the wall.
