yup, just got a peeve and a pulp hook. next to the saw, one of the best wood handling tools there are. well....forgot the maul.....and the tractor.....and the splitter. lets just say it should be in your arsenal to help prevent strain.

Hello again,
Today was nice and crisp so I spent the day splitting some wood and stacking in my new shed.
Still have a lot to finish up on this beast but I wanted to share what it currently looks like.

No offense . . . but that is one very funky way of stacking wood in the woodshed. Never seen anyone stack like that.
Good plan Chaz! I wish my Dad could help me but that's not gonna happen.. Enjoy it while you can!Haha, yeah, that is what I get for letting my dad help me out. He was in a hurry. Its OK though, I have to add the side slats anyway and that wood is super dry and wont last through this season. He even threw my solid rounds in there so I could rake leaves. Next stack will be much neater.
Also those are 2x4 for the roof spaced ~16" apart and I will be reinforcing that next year but for now I plan to roof rake it along with my house for larger snowfalls (I'll be making enough trips there anyway).

I like the little stove next to the insert.
I tried it too to no avail, I get much better heat distribution by turning the two ceiling fans onI did this once, tried to get heat evenly throughout the house, and it did not seem to work.
After a couple hours, the house was not as warm as if I had just left the fans off.
I have two zone air handlers with an intake and vent in each room of the house (two in the living room) instead of a central intake. If you have luck doing this, what is your set up? I assumed that I am just spending a lot of time trying to get the ducts warmed up.
That looks really warm! The color is perfect with your mantel and surround. I see you have a nice cast iron steamer and an ecofan. How long have you had the ecofan, and how do you rate it?
Geo how are those old CDW's holding up? They will last forever if you don't abuse them! I like the T-5 so much better than the CDW and backpuffs are a thing of the past now.. Very easy to learn and use with loads of heat if you need it.. Blower is very effective and quiet but expensive!I saw one of those little stoves in an antique shop and when I inquired about it, the OLD owner of the shop, told me it was his great grandfathers and it was used in covered wagons. Could be BS but it made sense for the size
Looks fantastic, Chaz! No matter how big you make your shed, you always end up wanting a bigger one.....you can always add onto it in a couple years. Either way, I'm jealous. I still have yet to make one here.Just spent some of the 4th painting my shed red..I suppose that is patriotic. I made the side slats removable so I will be painting those in the garage because of these damn mosquitoes.

I see by looking back through this thread that I have acquired quite a lot of wood.
Guess I should have made a larger shed.
Nice setup there. Can you put that frame thing across the back wall of your shed? That would make for some easy and solid stacks.
