With more lousy weather coming I might be in for a real problem. I usually tarp the top of my stacks year-round but after Irene and Lee (sp?) I yanked the tarps much to the displeasure of a half-dozen garden snakes. What I found did not please me either. My stacks were SOAKED underneath and what little I have burnt is indicating that it's less than ideal depite pulling from the 2yo section of the pile. The smaller splits seem to be ok and burning well but there is a good amount of Poplar with some oak in there that isn't burning very well at all.
With no time left to season/dry further I think I'm in for burning lousy wood this winter. Money is getting tight with a baby on the way :cheese: and vehicles asking for some expensive maintenance. So building a proper woodshed right now is out (but I like the pallet sheds I've seen!) and I don't want to buy materials for what might end up being a temporary situation.
I'm leaving the tarps off until the snow flies and praying for the best.

Def want to do the shed next year.
