Just finished filling the basement today. If I measured right there is between 10 and 11 cord in there and should be enough for the whole season! Take that oil companies!!! :deadhorse:

I wish my basement was that big!
AMEN!
I only wish I could get my stack inside for the winter. The Mrs. grew up with wood heat (and therefore a pile of wood in the basement) and hates the idea of having a monstrous stack of wood downstairs. It would be so much better for the seasoning, honey!

My house was built in 1922 and had a coal furnace.Now I have an oil furnace and the oil tank in the old coal room. Im still expirimenting with stacking wood in there.Maybe get 1+ cord in if I stack it real tight. Id love to see a pic of yours.:biggrinbounce2:

when the house was built, the basement was extended under the laundry room, making for a nice wood room. The wood room holds roughly 6 cord, then this year i put another 4 to 5 in the main part of the basement. The basement isn't finished at all and has a tall ceiling so it makes it great for storing wood. I'd get some pics for you, but I don't have a digital camera.. sorry, not up to the modern age yet!!!!! haha

How big is the house that you're going through 10+ cords a year?

little under 2200 sq ft. I heat all my hot water with the boiler too, so I don't know if that adds much to the wood use. It does seem like a lot of wood to me too, and I've been thinking of looking for a different wood furnace. We'll see. Anything is better than buying fuel oil though!!
