So here's our wood stack for the year. How do you like it? This is what most of 3 big maples look like after they've been blocked and split. Whew! A lot of work! We haven't exactly figured out the cost of heating with wood (and would you really want to know) but when you get free wood (thanks Dad), it's cheaper than anything else you have to buy.

We tried to make our wood multifunctional 1) our heat 2) privacy screen and 3) it's pretty. Hopefully it will still be standing after all this winter's snow and wind. I know you can't tell by the pictures but the far right stack between the trees is double stacked over 5 feet high by about 10 feet long plus 3 feet outside the tree. The other stack is lower about 4 ft but longer maybe 15 and it's also double stacked. No need for exercise machines during wood cutting season! My back is aching just thinking of it! LOL!
