Best idea yet.

When piling put some long sticks across the rows randomly to lock them together.
I noticed it seemed to have settled to a precarious angle this morning. I was around getting something to try to prop it when.....

Sometimes this method works pretty good. The pile had been up for two years. So far. :msp_unsure:
This is ugly but it's fairly stable:

Now...if we just don't have any earthquakes....

My lengths are pretty short and that method, used last year, also went through a tip over. The stack is almost back up, with a pallet in the center for reinforcement and I leaned the two rows against each other which strengthened it.
If we had an earthquake now, I expect my woodshed would tip over. :msp_ohmy:
I came in for sandwich and coffee. :coffee:

You leaned the rows together.
Guess you better deconstruct said rows evenly or you will be practicing stacking again.
Looks like some that take out what you put in oak to me there. Love the btu's in oak. Hate packing it to the stove.

Nope. The outside stack isn't for burning next winter. It is for the next, so it can lean against each other and then all tumble down because it will be moved to a woodshed when next year's burning is done.
It has turned out to be quite stout with the new design. There is no oak in my pile. Maple, alder and Doug-fir.

Good luck if you have surgery!! don't rush the healing time and stick to the Dr orders and hopefully you will be out of the house soon.
Since my first fusion I am still in the house with no end in sight since 2001.

Cutting firewood from powerchair?
Anybody have any suggestions on how to cut firewood from a power chair, one of those six wheeled chairs with center powered wheels. Let alone getting myself to the log. Weight capacity is 400 lbs and a trailer hitch is available for a small utility trailer and the trailer may be able to hold my saw.
We bought the 85% efficient fireplace to heat the house instead of replacing the 40% efficient furnace. Now I can't load the fireplace with wood and I do not want to buy a new furnace also.
The need of the chair is next best thing I have to look forward to in my recovery phase of my progressively numbing legs since shopping carts incident especially left leg. The store says I was merely bumped:angry2:
In 2007 I bought my 361 and could slowly cut firewood at my own slow pace, now I need a powerchair to get to our mailbox. Jury trial may be in July but in front of the worst judge in the state for lawsuits against stores for personal injuries and our house NEEDS major renovations to get the chair into the house and bath. I cannot even get a walker in the bathroom at this time.

Back is toast. Did it last Monday, limped through last week. Took today off......instead of going the comp route. Boss through a fit....Try and help a guy out by not comping it and that's what you get.
Never know what to do in these situations.....Last thing you want to do is stick them with a comp claim.....But you start to wonder what the long term effects of grinding through are.
Frustrating.

That script will never fly. A real doctor would sign with an illegible scrawl. :biggrin:
I hurt my back in 1981 changing the brake blocks on a drilling rig drawworks (winch). I didn't file a comp claim, either, because I was tough and a loyal company employee. The company went bankrupt in the late eighties.
My back has hurt me ever since, at times so bad I can barely get around.

Along with other things, my wife's daughter will be traveling from Iowa to Seattle soon. I need to find someone in South Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Montana for her to stay long enough to get a gas card mailed to her. Anywhere along I-90.
Thanks! It is looking more like a torn bursal sack as of now. I am on R.I.C.E. right now but the rest component isn't fitting into my schedule too well. The last two days I cooked for a wrestling tournament so I was on my feet all day long. Next Saturday is another tournament. Fact is I am pretty busy till mid June. About a week of that is falling in the Sierras. I will also be working the Presidential Primary election.
I will just have to force myself to sit in the recliner with ice on my knee and a cold Coors Light in my hand. Maybe a Hamm's would be better.
Last night I forced myself to watch the last episode of Axe Men. The beer didn't help at all. The show has lost my interest.
