is it a goner?

[iron]

noticed a week or two ago that i had a leaning stack. extra leaning to be more accurate. it seems to have toppled into the adjacent stack and has caused it to lean pretty good. the 3rd stack and a perpendicular stack seem to have braced things for now.

i'm bummed since this stack is my first pile of hardwood (birch, mainly)

anyone want to place bets on when it topples? i doubt we'll have snow this winter, but...

It's a goner. It's all coming down. Lots of restacking in the future.

At least you know it is below 30% mc.

Smiley thingy.

You definitely have some restacking ahead.

Forget the Needle . . . it's time to visit the Leaning Woodpile of "North of Seattle."

When i started my first stacks last year someone here gave me the advice to put a few branches tieing one pile to the next as you stack. Looks like u can use that in the future. It really ties the whole thing up strong like one solid unit

HEY Quit posting pics of my wood stacks. How'd you sneak into my backyard?

Might have been me. I always end up with logs that I didn't quite get around to cutting at the wood lot and 2 to 3 inch stems that are a pain to cut. I set them aside and insert them in the piles about every 2'. It really helps maintain the gap between the wood.

Pull it apart and restack it before you get 3x as much work to do

Hmmm...I think I would burn it in the next few months. That'll teach it.

get some T posts and a ratchet strap and bring it back to life!
