Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[Steve2910]

Yeah, I did that too but I think that my wood pile doesn't get enough sun and wind to dry it out enough though.

Mine were always in full sun. With Cherry, Silver Maple, or Tulip Poplar they dried fine. The one time I did it w/ Oak, they seemed to be drying well.... A tropical storm brought 3 days of torrential rain which ruined that experiment.:msp_mad:

You would be correct... Sun and air is good... Eliminating precip wetting helps too, but not always an option...

Yeah I hear you, It has been like a mini hurricane here for 3 days now, None stop rain and bad winds. All I can think is great! My wood pile is going to be sopping wet now :bang:

My barn is as full as I can get it now, and I'm forced to pile outside. :bang: So I normally relegate myself to cutting just Hedge when this happens... For some reason it weathers the elements better than the other varieties I cut... Hackberry??? Not so much...

Only get the truck this close to my shed/splitting area when the ground is either frozen or good and dry, as I have to back across the fron lawn to get there.

Damn spike that is a clean work area. Where's all the wood chips? uglies? empty beer cans?

Digging the wood shed, simple and effective, looks rustic.

Is that Oak? Hella-VA JOB!

Yep about 80% oak. Powerline co. Was clearing near my house. Easiest wood i have cut.

I move to where the wood is. Cut and split there and haul home to stack.

Cutting at home now. 15 acres.

Moving down the road 10 mins to my brother's place next. 20 acres. This is one of 6 or so piles left by the logger.

Stack by the stove.

I like your "No-Pay" workers, LOL!!

I agree, that's the only way...I still cost me though I have to bribe them with food!

Uglies go into a couple of chunk boxes on either side of the shed, that aren't quite in the pic. I do rake up all of the bark and wood chips and wheelbarow them into the woods. And though they may not be visible, there are always beer cans/bottles associated with this operation. Looking out the window, there are a couple of Torpedo IPA bottles from last night in fact. :msp_w00t:

Shed was a nice project that I did about 15 years ago. Holds a little under 5 cords. Spaced the side boards with a piece of 2x4 so it gets plenty of air. Ran an electric line out there so I can flip on a light switch when I go out for wood at night. Sure don't miss dealing with all those tarps!

Sweet deal! I like your set-up too. Your in Loudon ? That isn't to far from me. Just a few hour drive.

I told you not to smoke that funny weed way down there. Stop it.
You can't get there from here.
Calais Maine to Loudon New Hampshire by Cessna maybe an hour. By your truck more like 5-6 hours' drive. :msp_w00t:

I hate tarps with a passion. I really need to build a wood shed that will hold 4 cord or so.

Yeah that's a haul. I'm a little closer, but not that much.

Better picture of my pile. 1 more row to stack and the rest I have split will go into the following years pile.
