Blimey, some serious wood stores going on there! I’m a mere novice obviously, with only about 4 cubic metres of wood cut and split and stashed.
After buying a chainsaw, PPE and rest of the gear, I reckon it will take 2 years to get my money back compared to buying the wood.
Managed to get some nice ash, oak, cherry and even some robinia black locust. Dried out and cracked nicely in the hot summer, so all good to go now.

You lot are well ahead of me, I've not even got and wood left and haven't got round to getting more, our local supplier keeps giving me wet wood claiming it's seasoned so I've been looking for a new supplier.

I’m bringing in the last of my wood this week with the Land Rover and Sankey ... each trip will bring in 4 stères.

I stack mine like this to save space and to keep it from leaning over not only as it get dry but for to the odd earthquake here.

Each one is about 11 stères ... pulls in about €660 each time

Wow WIBO!

I have serious woodpile envy.

You mention ‘earthquakes here’. Where’s here?

My own humble offering. A good axe, two good hand axes and one rather silly little ‘kindling axe’ that was given to me.

Foot of the French Pyrénées.....every now and then, where I am, there's mini earthquakes which wobble stuff around . This way, as you can see the wood will want to lean inwards....build your circular wall ( anything more than 3m diameter.....too small and it'll collapse )and then just horse the rest of the wood inside it....no need to be neat.

The bigger the diameter the higher you can take it!!! I leave mine at reach height.
