Let's see your home log piles

[Two Acres]

That looks like a very nicely built log store Bob - must have been a fair bit of work on that uneven ground?

[Bob The Dog]

Once the footings were in and level the rest of it went very well. The cedar shingles were a bit slow going though - and managing my 3 year old helper slowed things down a little! Gotta go back and finish off a few little bits and pieces once I've got a couple of spare hours.

Few pics of the various log stores and assorted junk. It looks less messy in real life, honest!

 

It works out about 18m3 in total.

As I don't own the place I built a number of smaller stores that could all be put on a trailer if/when I move. Although in saying that I also built a 26'x10' shelter set in the ground, along with a shed

(and planted trees/bushes, put down stone, dug ditches, laid paving, removed trees, got rid of bracken etc etc etc)

 

 

 

The all but empty empty log store is my dry wood! :laugh1:

 

 

 

I tend to let logs stockpile on the ground for months on end then do it all in a oner, split/barrow/stack

My little home log shed . Made from old fence panels and scaffold boards . Roof needs finishing . Bag of logs was used for reference . When selling to public .

A couple of mine

[Farmer Tom]

The biggest used to be used to store square hay bales.

Each bay holds 12-15 cube.

 

 

There are a couple of extras here which hold 3 cube

 

and 4 cube ( nearly)

 

Then there's the disused greenhouse which hold another 4 cube

 

and a couple of 'temporaries' for stuff I haven't split yet.

 

 

 

 

And finally, the store in the barn, which is my 'snowed-in' reserve.

 

That last one's an old photo, been emptied and refilled twice since then.

I do burn rather a lot though...

 

Phew! I need a pint.....

You've done a great job there Bob I have a couple of four year old 'helpers' (twins) and a seven year old one too. They may just about be old enough to really help fill the log shed this spring I hope I'll post some pics of mine on here when its full again (not much to show right now)

Day last week making a start for next years

[mickdundee]

Very jealous of you blokes with farms and small holding with so much space and outbuildings. Must make life easy when it comes to seasoning and storing your own wood

[Farmer Tom]

The best part is having approx. three years' supply of wood.

Saves me from being dependent on the quality of the next 'seasoned' delivery.

 

-The downside is when a delivery comes (usually 10 cube) I need to have it tipped outside the barn for me to hand-throw it inside. I wish I'd held on to the bale elevator.....
