Since we are only at our cabin about 100-150 days per year (pretty much every weekend and some vacations) we only go through about 1-1.5 cord per heating season so my goal this year was to stash away about 3 cord.
for the past few years I would stack our wood by the walkout basement (right in front) under our deck but we decided to end that practice and build the wood shed. I posted a few pics a few weeks back and then I had accumulated 2 cord or so in the driveway plus some of the remaining wood from a couple years ago. Add to that my scrounge piles from around the lot and we had a nice afternoon of stacking.
My buddy dropped off his ATV for the day and I breathed new life into my old garden cart by finally seeing the light and ordering solid rubber tires vs. popping untold numbers of regular tires.........
Combine that with my wife and I steadily chipping away and in 3-4 hours we had all the wood stacked in the wood shed ready for winter. Just a small amount left in the old location to burn through before the real snows settle in.
Feels good to have my heating fuel stored for the winter.......just a short 20' path needs to be cleared from the covered porch to the shed.......life is good. Bring on the snow.....
