Not quite a “shed” but yesterday I started in on filling the wood pile back up for this coming fall.

I wish I had room for that much wood! Thats great that you do, and you use it.
 
I still use dog tags on the new sheds, the only real way to keep track with my bad memory. Now I have teacup hooks on the soffit of each shed bay, and just hang the tags from those:

Another observation: I end up going total Tetris on filling these sheds, stuffing the top splits up into the rafters, and tight up against the soffit. These photos were taken in fall 2023, so after 4 years of drying, and you can see how much the stack height decreased due primarily to loss of moisture. Just eyeballing, the stack dropped maybe 8". I don't remember exact height of stack, it gets deeper as you go back, but maybe 6' 8" at soffit.
Now you have me wanting to measure a fresh cut split with calipers and then measure it again in a year.

Yeah it's definitely a Costanza in the Pool deal with the "Shrinkage"
