C/S/D stacked and drying

[btj1031]

Here's a stack of about 3.5 cord out of the 5 I bought. Tried a different spot for drying this year, kind of in the way but it will bake in the sun all day.

Nice stacks! I can't ever stack them without having them lean.

Thanks! The third one in is leaning against the 4th one pretty good, fortunately its still standing. I try to take it slow with the stacking, with the thinking its still a better investment of time over stacking it again after it falls. This is processed wood too, so they're fairly uniform splits.

Nice work on the stacking That all day sun will sure help the drying process.

Very nice stacking....

Thanks all. Like I said, its totally in the way, so it had to be stacked to look nice and tidy. I have stacked off to the side of the yard the last few years - obviously shade isn't helpful, so this year its right in the middle of the yard. Literally full day sun.

Hey Jay. He stacks better than I do!

J-Man, that is good work. It looks about the same height as I stack. That is, I stack usually 4-4 1/2'. If stacked at 4.5' then it will usually shrink down to 4' or less. And the only problem I can see with the pallets is frost heave. It could tend to make for some leaning. That is why I cut saplings to stack the wood on so each row is individual. I also have to say I did not do a great job of stacking this spring. I was just hurting so badly that I tended to just throw the wood into a row instead of really stacking it neatly. But Jay thinks I use a plumb line and a square when I stack. lol

Thanks Dennis. Frost heaves shouldn't be a problem here. The former owners had an in-ground pool in this spot, and they filled it in with sand before the house was sold to us. Apparently the pool was in poor shape...too bad. The fill dropped in the hole is mainly sand, so drainage is very good. Grass didn't grow too well there anyway.
