While I work on building a house a mile and a half down the road from where my parents live, we are living in a 24x48 finished upstairs in their new toy shed down the road from their house. They have a really small Jotul stove and burn a couple cords a year at most. This last year I've gotten into CSS'ing so I have been doing a decent amount of it for them. When they built this building a few years ago, they threw all of the downed wood onto skids and my father has been pecking away at them since.
This year I've CSS'd everything you see here for them:
It isn't a ton. 5' tall stacks, two rows, ~20' long. Roughly 12" long splits. What's that, a cord and a half? Not much, but I enjoy going out there and taking a few minutes to knock out a trailer load of splits with the Fiskars. And then I'll go out later and take another break to stack them. It is a nice break from the computer screens.
You can see a brown tarp in the background. That is where my dad had been stacking his splits. I am still working on convincing him to not cover the pile completely...
