Wood Pile

Hopefully will have some left over come Spring.

Same amount as last year?

That left side's really leanin'..... maybe if she goes you could use that life preserver hanging on the fence!

Looks like a nice load of well-dried wood...

Are those 4' lengths you have on the ends in the cinder blocks? I have 8' sitting in there and I toy with cutting them in half....

Nice stack. I'd be short though myself

 

[BigCountryNY]

Nice stack for sure! Like Rebelduckman, I would also be short.

Actually a little more than last year, also have about a half cord not in the picture.

Yes 4 ' lengths. I actually built some holders that looked nice, but found this method alot cheaper and just as good.

I'm convinced!

Nice idea on the racks! Are they mounted anyway or just in the cinder blocks?

Just on cinderblocks, that way that can be put away for future use and I can get to the stacks in the back.

Another thread has some suggestion of running a cable between the end supports but those racks used 8' supports and were v shaped by the time they finished stacking

I have two racks using this method the OP uses, and I filled the "gap" around the pieces of lumber with rocks which gives it more stability so that it doesn't lean much at all. Works good, and cheap!

No need to run the cable the entire length. I have issues with t-posts leaning in soft ground so I use cables to hold them. I just use a 10 foot length, put a loop in one end, run the cable down at an angle to the bottom of my stacks, and fill the loop with wood, then stack it all in. In order for the post to lean it has to put a "bundle" of splits up and out through the side of the stack. That's not going to happen as the splits are stacked in tightly; I don't have any problems with leaning posts anymore...

Part time heat or full time heat???

I hear tell we're gonna get beat up this year.
