My construction client uses billboards for stream diversions. They hold up well under harsh conditions.

For consideration... https://afarmgirlinthemaking.com/building-holz-hausen-european-method-for-stacking-firewood-storage/ You can search holzhausen for other pics/guides. Never done it, and I don't know the pros/cons, but it's an attractive way to store wood that doesn't require built...

I think a lot of cultural knowledge about woodburning has been lost. Around here, most houses don't have a fireplace anymore. You used to get one whether you wanted it or not :^D With every house having woodburning capability, knowledge of wood, even if imperfect tended to propagate.

That's why mine's a pallet box with recycled plastic on top :^D It's only a single box. Between that, my porch, and an open pallet staging area, I can keep my wood good for a (recent)typical winter. The current winter is an old school winter, which is great, but I'm going through wood faster...

What /I/ would like if I wanted to make the time, and had the patience to do it skillfully would be to make one out of eastern red cedar. Whole cedar stems as the posts, live edge cedar bracing, and a roof made of whatever, but with split cedar shingles as a finished top.

I like stacked, ideally with the ends facing the sun. Cover on top, open sides. On pallets or something similar is better. The cover doesn't matter so long as it covers. I'm using pieces of milled wood with junk plastic on top. When all my junk plastic is consumed, I'll switch to retired tarps I...

I'm not sure if our gas station wood has a printed quantity or not. I believe MD law mandates cord measure, but maybe there's an exemption for very small quantities. I'm ok with a weird measure when it's small quantity and obvious. A popular way to sell around here is a rack that's...

I wonder what constitutes a "truckload"? It could hardly be less precise. I could double or triple the quantity of something that could be construed as a "truckload" just by stacking carefully.

That's interesting. I think it's probably better for commercial production than home. I'm not particular about my wood lengths. 18" is ideal, but I can take anything up to 24".

Their site says they have a showroom. A firewood showroom... I guess you go down with the wife, sip complimentary salted caramel cappuccinos with extra sprinkles, while the sales associate discusses the relative benefits of pecan over oak. You then examine the available wood, and pick the bundle...

I keep coming back to Blacksmith's page. They sell matches for $20. I can find no indication otherwise, so I have to assume it's for a single box of matches. They're extra long(whoopty fuckin' do), and they /appear/ to have a few more than the standard 32 count; maybe 50 matches? ~50¢/each? :^D...

That stump looks like pine too. I'm thinking $50 for an ordinary stump, and maybe $100 for something special. I could even see $300, but there better be a lot going on with it; a true one of a kind.

That's got a real ring to it. Maybe mesquite and piñon as a specialty? You have those where you're at?

"An entire burning season of unmatched fireside experiences" Their stove must be much more efficient than mine :^D Those racks are commonly sold around here, though not nearly as pretty or tightly packed, and the rack stays at the vendor's place. $20-$30. I think $20 is most common. Do they...

Sorry about your health problems. Hope it's all fixed for awhile. Getting back to wood should help a bit :^)

Humans make everything worse, don't they? I've thought about selling small quantites of firewood, but don't feel like dealing with people for fairly trivial sums of money. The aggravation would probably outweigh it.

What are the concrete posts for?

I thought about selling small stacks of firewood in front of my house, mainly to make use of the metric shitton of wood I have, and to give purpose to making it smaller. I then thought of people stealing the wood and/or the money, and thought otherwise. The small amounts of either wouldn't...

Sounds like you could make some real extra money having a tree biz there. Even if it was all handwork, it would be worth it at those prices.

My favorite wood is the branches that are the perfect diameter, and require nothing but cutting to length. Luxurious!
