Made a firewood pile today
Made a firewood pile today
We had a storm tear off a lot of branches from the old maples in our yard. I took the larger stuff and sliced it up for our fire pit. There's something satisfying about a nice stack of wood.

Good job, son
hearty pat on the back*

That’s a lot of wood.

Be advised that snakes and spiders love to hang out in Wood piles like that. Always be cautious when you're unstacking.

You could start an OnlyDulls with the behind the scenes.

The behind the scenes includes some sawhorses, a wheelbarrow, and a small chainsaw. Pretty risqué.

Let's see some socks 😏

I stacked some downed wood today too. My dad had a big walnut split in half from storm damage.

The second warming. Well done.

Hey me too. Listened to some Neil Young while doing it.

Looks great. You may want to throw a pallet or something under the bottom so that the branches and logs don't touch the ground and rot while you're seasoning them. (Sorry to suggest you unpile the pile.)
All good, I like your style with the pallet.
I was going to suggest this:
It takes minimal effort, cheap materials, and is quite strong. I've had my woodpile on one I put together for a few years. Once I had put the angled 2x4s into the cinder blocks, I also filled the remaining space inside the block with pea gravel to keep them from wiggling around.
Here's the full DIY instructions.
Edit: If needed, I'm pretty sure they'll cut the 2x4s to your requested length, at least at Lowe's.
