Stacked

We always admire the woodstacks when we travel in Switzerland and Germany. I’d go as far as to say, my Hero has serious woodstore envy when we see neatly arranged supplies like this one, seen from a train last year.
As of yesterday, however, we have our own woodstore and though it’s not quite in the same league as those Swiss wonders, I think he’s stacked it pretty neatly, don’t you?
It fits in beautifully and we are very pleased with our choice – locally made, delivered and constructed in situ.
That, of course, is the wood for the winter after next – there’s at least one year’s supply stored dry in the garage, because as our friend Jürgen always says, wood warms you several times over – in our case, stacking it outside, moving it and stacking it once again in the garage, bringing it upstairs in the large basket and then finally, burning on the woodburner.
So, as you can see, we are ready for the weekend, when we are advised, temperatures will plummet. Maybe it will be stove-lighting time?

We removed our WBS as the effort of moving, stacking, cutting, taking it upstairs to the stove and cleaning it up afterwards was becoming a nightmare! Shame really but the dust has reduced and the former log storage area has become a pleasant bed for some good plants. I do like your little wood half house!
I've always admired wood stacks, and yes Switzerland is the place to see them! Yours looks great, maybe like the Swiss you may grow sempervivums on the roof in due course, but maybe not till the lovely new look is well past.
Lit our WBS first time today, with logs from our, similar, log store. LOVE this weather so that we can enjoy the smell, warmth and looks of the fire.
Have been in touch with A & K and recd. a preliminary itinerary - looking good. Thank Mark for his input.
