Looking Good!

Good Deal! It's hard to get ahead but when you do...... It's a great feeling! I have this year stacked, next year split and in a pile and the following year in rounds. It's hard to NOT go and get more. :coolgrin:

 

[quercus_kelloggii]

That is NICE. Wish I had the room for that much wood!

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Congratulations burntime. Yes, it makes one feel really good to have several years supply of fuel on hand. Especially when you've done it yourself. I do wonder about those 6' high stacks though. Frost heave can make you restack some of those. That is one reason we stop at 4' (actually 4.5' but 4' after drying).

 

[burntime]

How do you think I got so good at stacking? :lol:

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Practice makes perfect or a tired man! lol

 

[SolarAndWood]

How do you think I got so good at stacking? :lol:

That's funny, restacking is why I don't stack any more until its dry.

 

[burntime]

I sometimes leave the pile on the ground for a month, but this time of year I want to get it ready for the next score. I have 2 of my own ash trees coming down and want to get it put up asap. I already have one dead spot on the lawn and would rather keep it to one :lol:

 

[SolarAndWood]

I heard ya on the dead spots in the lawn and the material management issues. I built a little stone terrace on the side of the hill to keep the operation out of the lawn and help keep my wife happy. Of course now I just accumulate more wood.

 

[firefighterjake]

Lots of good looking wood.

 

[burntime]

Lots of good looking wood.

I guess I would have never thought that was ok to say to another man? :lol: But yes, it feels good to get ahead for a change. I have my trees coming down and it should be more then enough to finish up next years wood and a start on the following. I am going to start moving the seasoned stuff up by the house soon so I will not need another pallet...I hope... ;-)

 

[wendell]

Yeah, it is a good problem to have when you have no place to put the wood you have. I have a cord of elm rounds sitting in my driveway that I have no place to put and won't for the foreseeable future. Ideally, i would like to wait until January when it is good and frozen. Somehow, I don't think my neighbor's will agree.

 

[wsorg]

Its a good feeling to be ahead!

 

[burntime]

Its a good feeling to be ahead!

Yep, and now I want to keep going. The 2 ash trees I have are near the house and there are 2 shagbark hickories that I will probably drop as well. Those will will stacked this year as well
