Update from The Barn

[Pagey]

Thought I'd take some barn shots today after splitting the aforementioned red oak.

Nice job Pagey, sure looks like alot of wood. Has the weather cooled off for you yet?

We've had highs in the 60s/70s and lows in the 50s, mostly. We did have one night in the upper 40s, but I've still not fired off the Endeavor yet.

Pagey, +1 nice. Looks like money in the bank. Are those unsplit rounds pine?

 

[Blue Vomit]

That is a lot of wood! You need one thing... A NO SMOKING sign. :cheese: Could you imagine what one match would do to that place. Holy crap!

 

[Pagey]

The rounds are indeed beetle kill pine. It's all over the place up here. Not a ton of BTUs in pine, but it's free, easy, and seasons fast.

 

[wood spliter]

Free and easy is always good!. Looks like a good pile of wood you have there.

What is that, an old tobacco barn? Nice wood shed, plenty of air movement. If I run out of wood this Winter, don't be surprised if you come out one day to find those BL posts replaced by landscape timbers. :lol:

Only thing missing is a picture of you standing on top of a pile cackling madly and saying, "MINE! All MINE!" It's beautiful . . .

Yeah, that is one interesting-looking framing job. Never seen anything quite like it. I'm guessing from all the racks near the ceiling that WS is right about the building's original intent.

It was my late paternal grandfather's old hay barn. Dad had considered tearing it down at one point, but it turned out to be the perfect place to process and store years worth of wood!

 

[SolarAndWood]

Perfect is an understatement. Probably a little sentimental value there too?

 

[raybonz]

Pagey that is one serious wood shelter!! Looks like it has been there a very long time!

Yes Pagey, that is a great woodshed.

The only real problem I run into is that I often end up with fresher splits in front of the oldest, most seasoned stuff. I try to leave enough room to get at the older stuff from another angle, but it doesn't always work out. And every time I turn around dad is showing up with more fresh rounds! (Not that I'm complaining about that, mind you.)

 

[Swedishchef]

Good grief. I wish I had the same issues of a father bringing too many fresh rounds!

Very nice shed, I wish I had one like it!
