since I'll be looking at it for two years, might as well be pretty.

My kids call it a round house. HH is for Holz Hausen or Holz Meite? I don't know much about them either except what I learned here.
The far side is 15 pallets of mostly ash, BL, and Shag. That's next years wood and somewhere around 6 cords I think.
The oak is the year after and then some. The HH is on 4 pallets and is 7 ft from one side to the next and perhaps 5 ft tall. And 10 pallets of oak is probably 4 cords. Once I stack the next HH - I will be done for awhile. I think the HH's hold close to 3 cords.
All told - somewhere around 14-16 cords maybe? And this years 5.6 is stacked neatly in the garage.
This warm weather and lack of snow has really allowed me to get alot done, combined with the storm wood and free wood delivery from my tree guy, no complaints.
Merry Christmas and Happy 2012 you all!

Holz Hausen is German for "wood house". Here is a formula for the volume of a cylinder which can be used to calculate how much wood you have in a HH -- Height x Pi x Radius squared. Applied to your Holz Hausen, you have 7 x 3.1415 x 25, or 550 cubic feet of wood. Divide that by a standard cord (128 cu. ft.),you have about 4 cords of wood in your HH.

+1. Most think I am nuts, and my stacks don't hold a candle to those.Flatbedford said:That is an impressive wood collection there! if I am this impressed, your non wood burning friends and family must think you are just plain crazy! I get all kinds of comments about my 70' of wood wall, but your wall is huge, and has castles on the ends!
