My husband has an addiction and it isn't like any addiction I have ever seen before.
Last year my parents very kindly gave us a wood stove for our house, which we absolutely love. However, since then Adam has become completely compulsive about stockpiling wood for the winter. He is kind of like a squirrel preparing to survive the winter. Now if there was an old wives tale that had anything to do with the amount of wood Adam has collected relating to the length of winter we are about to have, then watch out because we could be in for a long one.
Here are four rows of wood that run the length of the shed. The shed is 32 feet long.
Here is another section of wood. It has three rows, but only runs 3/4 the length of the shed. Adam has informed me though that it will run the full length of the shed after he finishes cutting the tree he recently cut.
Here is another angle of all of the wood.
And here is a pile that he hasn't even finished splitting yet.
Oh yeah, and we are driving to Mass. this weekend to cut down a tree and pick up wood from his uncle.
So, if anyone knows someone that can help Adam with this problem, please let me know!

see, you gotta do it like my pops did.
summer 2009 split/stack 2-3 cords of wood somewhere dry
winter 2009 burn no wood
summer 2010 split/stack 2-3 cords of wood somewhere dry
winter 2010 burn wood from summer of 09
and so on
not sure if this is actually worth it, but my father's all about it. we built our garage so that it would hold more wood, it's insane.
It's a GREAT addiction. Adam ROCKS! :) I really wished Steve and Adam could have worked their little business this summer, but he was too busy taking care of ME!
