Well half-full. This side has 3 cords of doug fir and alder mix. The other side has a cord of hardwood. There's another 2 cords of hardwood stacked out in the yard. Depending on how cold it gets I may leave it there and burn the existing hardwood in the shed this winter. It's 4 yr old seasoned locust, madrona, holly and eucalyptus.

Well.... I'll chime in..... Bragger!
I'm sure you have answered this before, but how many cords do you go thru in a year? It seems like you have quite a bit, or not, for your location?
 
Compared to some of the 6-10 cord stacks shown here this is just a starter. Depends on the weather but normally it takes about 2 cords to heat this old house. A cold winter could be 2.5-3 cords.

Your 3 years ahead are likely very different from begreen's... just looking at your location!
True, I burn around 4.5-5 cord a year. But before I found this place I was cutting and splitting and trying to burn it then haha! Now I know better, I have around 20 cord c/s/s and didn't burn a drop of oil last season :)
