Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[NHlocal]

NHlocal, I really like the looks and functionality of this wood storage that you built. Looks simple, attractive and straight forward. My trim carpentry skills are lacking but I think I could handle this next spring.

Thanks, :msp_smile:
I sure ain't a carpenter by any stretch of the imagination, so my plan was to keep it simple yet functional/practical, and build it to last. It's 8' x 12' (it will hold 4 [SUP]1[/SUP]/[SUB]2[/SUB] cord), but the size could easily be changed to meet whatever need you have.

Did a darn fine job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys in the north talkin bout tax people snoopin around?!?!? I have never even heard of that let alone seen any. You need to move south. Here we have a 9.25% sales tax so everyone gets to pay. Property taxes are not nearly as hard on us property owners. I pay $595 a year on a little over an acre, a 1500 square foot house, and a two bay detached garage.

The high sales tax also means a balanced state budget and no local or state income taxes. :msp_wink:

Thanks, I appreciate that. :msp_thumbup: I learned some good basic carpentry skills from my Dad when I was young and they have served me very well.

TN would be ok if I could find decent land prices. There used to be some pretty nice land in North and South Carolina, until the city folks found it. Now it's peppered with $250K weekend "camps". I'm not interested in paying $2000/acre for 50 acres of woodland. Maybe I'll take a look.

I would love to live in Tenn. ! But here in N.W Mich. the tax is insane a similar parcel to the one stated a few threads ago would be 3 times that here. If you look at every small thing be it tax etc. what happened to "land of the free"?

Land is high around here. Especially since there is a golf resort nearby. Never have under stood why people want to pay so much for a game that involves sticks and balls. As for property tax I hate it. Its like paying rent for your own property and if you dont pay it they will seize it. So its kinda like we dont own it. Need to ask them where in the Constitution is property tax.

Don't get me started on golf.

This isn't the political forum, so I won't comment on WHY property taxes are so high. Let's just leave it at "gross mismanagement".

A few shots of our wood ministry's wood yard. It is in an old practice bomb manufacturing plant that looks to have been bombed itself.

Outside the fence:

A sign that causes difficulty for some:

Looking good. My advice would be:
#1 to place a larger chunk under the tire to rest on and helps elevate the wood and utilize a good hard base to split at.

#2 Get a Fiskars X27. Second thought, just get the fiskars and swing away.





And to Rwoods,

wow!
