Hey guys
This is a picture of where I keep my wood. I don't have big fancy yards like most of you.
The pile of wood that is in front of the building was taken out of it today. It is leftover hardwood (maple and yellow birch with some white birch and the odd piece of tamarack) and will be mixed with 2 cords of softwood (not in the picture) for this upcoming winter. I have another 8 cords total not in that picture...
The greenhouse gets nice and hot 4-5 months of the year. It can be 15C outside and 30C in there with the door closed. Some times I open it a crack and let some air go through. I often keep the front door completely open and open the back half (roll up plastic to allow for cross flow of air).
It's not the greatest setup but that's where the wood stays in the winter time! I never shovel it off, there was 4 feet of snow on it last year and it didn't cave in! We had a rough winter...about 12-18 inches of snow fell every week! I simply make a path with my trusty Ariens snowthrower every weekend to make sure I can get to the wood. I bring in about 4-5 days worth of wood at a time.
