Looks good...mine is still stacked out in the wind for now. Still warm here, but
I need to get some under cover before the rain starts. I think this year I am
going to put up a metal carport with enclosed sides to store some wood in. I
just dont have the time to build a wood shed this year... :-/

Nice day to get the work done, I should have my shed done next week, that'll open up more room to finished my splitting. Looks like you have a little splitting left too.
 
Splitting is never done as I am always find a stray dead and down tree in the national forest around here
Here is a picture of the shed before wood when it was finished this summer

oh - its 20 feet by 10 feet and about 10 ft high at front and 8 ft at back
 
Nice shed.
Feels good to have allot of wood all stacked up don't it.
Good work!
Hopefully you won't need that oak for a year or 2, it'll take longer to dry than the other wood.

very nice shed.

i think when i build mine i'm gonna add a poker room on the side.

As far as the oak and most of the other wood - nothing has over 17% moister on the meter - in fact most is around 10% or so. Most everything I cut up is always dead and down or dead and standing - the stuff on the bench there is just some extra stuff that will sit there probably until spring before I split that
 
Good looking woodshed . . . much better full than empty. :)
