Show Us Your Wood Cribs and Fuel Storage!

[Spinaker]

Thanks! You start by taking part of the roof down and then you work your way down. It does get a little hairy. However, with each row I placed, I tapped it with a sledge hammer to get the pieces of wood set in tightly to the stack. I am hoping that will help keep things tight. However, I am sure it will be a bit of a challenge to keep things in order. Stay tuned for that part. I plan on doing a monthly update as time goes on. It will be fun to see how it changes over time as it dries!

Spinaker I have enjoyed your post and pictures on the Holzhaulsen. To get the logs out, how do you do that? Is it a big game of Jenga?

[Spinaker]

Gorgeous morning down at the sauna. The Holzhaulsen is looking good with all that snow. I love that we finally got some snow!

I have it soaking in some kroil right to at the farm. I'll be able to tell you once I get it cleaned up.

Well, I have one fancy axe, anyway. That was a gift from brother, after I helped him move to Austin. Other than that, I mostly use Fiskars axes, they work great.

You should totally restore that axe head. You can use electrolysis to do it. Then put a handle on it and that thing will be good as new. What kind of axe head is it?

[Spinaker]

Yeah, this is the first project I have done in my life where people are just sitting back and wondering what the hell I am doing. I think it is so far out there, that they think I am crazy and am beyond suggestion. Smoker_Boy Kinda like Bluto in Animal House......."forget it, he's rolling..."

There is nothing better. It can be harder to spit, but the trade off is certainly worth it. texastweeter

Here is a daytime shot. Much easier to see . The one below is a close up of the shingles.

Thank you, Kathryn!

[Spinaker]

You start at the top. Actually the top pieces will dry first. However, that won’t be an issue since I will leave this stacked for at least a year.

Thank you
