Yup, they are chained across top and bottom in the middle of each section.WOW! Looks impressive. I'm trying to figure out how the ends are not getting bowed out from the pressure. I find that if I don't crib the ends that it pushes out the ends. I'm seeing large flat washers and wonder if you have ties holding the ends from bowing.
My shed will hold 3 years worth if I jam pack it full. Right now I have just one years worth in the shed and won't be filling it up until next year after I empty it and re-mediate it.
Looks good rottiman, glad you could get stocked up before knee surgery, Hope everything goes well for you.Goin in for knee replacement surgery the end of May. Was able to get the shed loaded for the next two winters.............................Big reliefView attachment 64980
That shed looks great, rottiman.....good luck on the knee surgery, I'm sure its a good feeling knowing you have plenty of wood so that won't be an issue. Godspeed on your recovery!Goin in for knee replacement surgery the end of May. Was able to get the shed loaded for the next two winters.............................Big reliefView attachment 64980
+1 - looks great and best wishes! I've heard knee replacement surgery is much better now (less painful) than even 10 years ago. Cheers!Nice job on the firewood Rottiman, I hope all goes well with the operation.

We don't. Look closer.Great looking shed. How do you guys get every piece the exact same length?
Ja, I'm in the process of doing the same. Stacking is not one of my fav chores and cribbing the ends even less so.LLigetfa, I had the side walls bowing on the shed the first year. Last year, I rebuilt the r/h wall, and this year the left. I just turned 'em into basic stud walls.
Much more resistant to bowing.......so far.
LOL.. the heights (depths) we go to for laziness. I too did that for a while but hated to see good firewood tied up like that. One year I decided to build the crib ends out of junk Poplar instead figuring it would hurt less to have junk wood tied up. Then I decided to burn the Poplar in the shoulder season......until then I usually leave the ends so I can skip the restacking there..
Thanks to all for the well wishes. Been waiting for over four years for this surgery. Yes, the technology for the artifical joints and the procedure has come along way in the last 5 years. Barring any complications, they say I should be well on my way to back to normal in about three months. Too many years of football, law enforcement, military service and working as a welder took its toll. At 62, I am still not ready to park my butt, so a new universal joint on the left side is the only way......................."GIT ER DONE!"
