Maybe cut some big vent door/windows to let the wind blow through. Ones that you could close for rain or snow days...
Or install a small wood stove and let your scrounge dry itself!

I'm going to hinge the panels I cut out of the back. That way I can close the doors when I know the weather is gonna be crappy. I think I will be on the verge of maybe 2yrs worth of wood in it so no seperate bays. Columbia Gas is comming through this winter and there is going to be a 50ft wide path of destruction from those guys and I was wondering where I was going to put all the wood. All my "against-something-out-of-the-way" stacking places are all filled up. If I dont use the shed I was going to have to stack stuff in the yard. Then mow around it. Now I dont. Theres about a half cord of space left on my other stacks so scrounge on. Then when I get the clearing wood it will go in the shed and sit for 2yrs atleast.

Sounds like you want to turn your shed into a tobacco shed. They had every other wall board hinged so the shed could have more air flow for drying tobacco. When they no longer needed the air flow, they closed those board back up. Should work good for drying wood and still keeping it covered.
Been working at the hunting cabin all day. FedEx says I have a delivery back home from a little shop in Missouri. Guess I need to take a ride tonight....
A new saw, a ported saw, that is easy to guess but which? I think there was something about one of the first few in country... Both stihl and husky have new stuff out I believe.... MS262? But then Steve seems a Husky guy....I'm not sure what the new ones are, but I'm guessing a new husqvarna and ported.
We need photos!

Yeah. You get your butt home and get that package! Pics AND video!
Video Oooo yeaaahh!
Where is Spike60 based? I am guessing he may be involved.
I confess to a bit of SVK post hunting.... Stalking in order to find clues.

I can't rule out a Stihl..... Take a look at his stable of saws and you'll see he isn't a one brand wonder. Is a 462 not too big for the wood he has? Steve is a sensible guy that runs his saws, the newbie will be no shelf queen.... He is quite cutting about those that buy a big saw new and don't run it. No.... Not a ms462..... Possibly.
Quick trip to the small local grocery store last week for some garlic bread with dinner. Next to the cash register was a new multiple bin rack overflowing with mini bottles of hard liquor. The manager was busy so I asked the teller to convey a message. That these mini bottles are more often than not, probably consumed before they get out of the parking lot. If this is how this grocery store markets liquor, like a party store, then after thirty years of patronage, I'll not be back.
It's not that I don't drink, I do.
I don't think what they're doing is responsible, or in the best interest of the community. The stores liquor section is less than ten paces from the register. That's fine. Someone that wants to, can avoid it. 2' from the register, like candy bars, is another thing.
There are probably few people reading this that don't personally know someone that alcohol has seriously impacted, and that certainly impacts multiple others in some way, whether it is work or home. My brother-in-law drank himself to death at 43, and everyone was 'thankful' that he died before killing or physically hurting someone else. Same is true of a close high school friend, years later, in his forties, closed a bar, walked home, slid down a small grassy slope and spent the remainder of the night in a wet ditch. Someone found him in the morning. He died a few hours later of hypothermia. His sister was relieved, that his death did not entangle others. More recently, a year ago, a very good friends son died from long term alcohol poisoning. These were lost souls, but there are everyday hard working people with the same struggles that don't need that bump, that temptation under their nose each time they walk in a grocery store for other things. The store might make a couple extra hundred a week, but at what expense to others...
KiwiBro: Nothing against social drinking at all, and my telling them that, or no longer going there, won't change anything. You didn't rub me wrong...the grocery store management with their community short sightedness did. Maybe they own the funeral home too...and I'm not seeing the bigger economic opportunities here.
I owned three Stihls. Love'm all.

I hear ya.
Doesn't explain why svk keeps heading to the 'cabin' with vast quantities of sugar and corn though.
It is what we cut wood with when you are tightening all the fasteners on your Husky!!!
? did anyone tell steve(svk) that were all "REV-E-NEWER'S".... we all rev. the newer saw's to the max. for optimal enjoyment!
This one not from Spike. I'm sure there will be more from him but not this one
