So true, Mick :).

Well, as Patrick observed..

Well, there is the lovely yellow-orange foliage in the fall...maybe I'm showing my pro conifer bias, but I think larches are very handsome trees.

Do trees in your area get a lot of ice damage if not pruned? What is the strategy for maintaining trees in urban areas? What happens to the material? Is it used for mulch or energy production?

Best to put a beam on top and bottom of the stack... continue to evenly tighten straps as they stretch and wood shrinks. You can easily move a stack that's tightly strapped.

Yes that's correct. To prevent warping during the drying process.

Strapping it tight to prevent warping? Never heard of that.

I know, but they are not my planks. The home owner is going up there tomorrow. They are going to separate with 2x1’s between planks and then about 5 ratchet strap per log. I did offer to do it for them but they said they had materials and straps.
