Getting ready for the winter (in the glorious sunshine :-)

Looks just the job, maybe get ready with a cover for the end of summer.

 

However, while it's dry you really do need to have a look at the felt on that shed roof.

Last few logs squeezed in for winter of 2014/15. Finished!

 

 

I'm running late this year. Normally finished by April.

Nice. What cu m is that?

[ballibeg]

27 cu m. I use half the store a year so seasons for 2 years which it needs even though off the ground to increase air flow.

 

Last year was 100% beech and I didn't use it all. Next year lime and horse chestnut so I'll need every last log.

 

Built from reclaimed timber from a barn a pal was taking down.

I'm showing that log store to the missus, she moans at me for what I've got :-( fair point on the felt roof, lol. I've just discovered a little wood boring beetle on my stack as well about 2/3mm with an orange/brown colour action and a shiny head. Also seems to be laying little shiny black eggs( or these may be different beetles) any ideas on what they are and what you can do about them???

A hammer should work!

But does it matter for firewood?

[pycoed]

Here's mine, mostly hedge thinnings from March/April:

 

Starting to build a permanent log store shortly, but that lot will stay where they are.

Most of my firewood used to end up in a ramshackle heap at the bottom of the garden and last year I found the time to knock up my wood store. Picture is from before winter, a little fuller now with this years stock and pallets underneath too.

All looking good! My missus will start burning soon enough and it'll be fine to start again.
