I can't find my board stretcher, so I cut a little, test fit, cut more, test fit.........
It wasn't as bad as it sounds. After the first couple, things went smoothly.
I was trying to get the studs to fall in the middle of splits for support.
Rulers, we don't need no stinkin' rulers!
 
I look at that great shed and think of the twelve by twenty four one I built twenty years ago. Too far from the house and it got filled with other crap. Now the one behind the garage is great but ain't nothing I would post pictures of lately. But with the walkway I don't tread snow or mud anymore either.

And the first one, the only "construction" I have ever done, is looking like it wants to fall down. <>

Alrighty then. I'm crankin' some firewood now.
As Scotty said, I'm "crackin' on some firewood stackin'".
Not.
This "massive" stack is just slightly less than 1/2 cord. I started last Tues., as you'll note from the OP. This is as of yesterday evening.
I think I hate my wheelbarrow.
I can't wait to get the tractor and trailer back from the shop. That's when the "crackin' on the stackin' " shall really commence.

2 more rows in front of this one, then the Pine from the other side gets put in, then Maple.
The L/H side will then get a couple more rows of Oak, then Maple, then Pine and Poplar.
 
After using the shed for a year (winter- 2010), I decided I don't like cross stacking in the shed (or anywhere else), so wanted to build a partition between the 2 sides of the shed.
A few 2x4s, a little time walking back and forth to the shop to make cuts (and recuts:mad:), my Paslode, and a level, and I've got my wall.

Nice--how many cords can you fit in there?
