I restacked my old pile of wood that I had to pull down because I couldn’t think ahead if my life depended on it.
But this time, I paid some attention to the quality of the layup. So all in all, I’m happier to see that thing when I look out the window now. Yes, somehow stuff like that that shouldn’t matter matters to me…



You know your area better than me, but that seems impossible to me. No little crawling things? When a tree falls in the forest, how long does it take to decompose?
Of course. I meant there are no termites here. But stuff eats wood that falls on the ground, for sure.
I stacked the wood there because there were already tiles on the ground that the previous owner clearly stacked his own wood on for the past 40 years. And there’s a wooden shed at the back of the building that’s also used to store wood. I found maybe a cord of wood in the shed when I bought the house, and another half-cord inside the garage - which is also a wooden building.
I’m not from the area, I’m from way down south, and I had the same concerns also with regard to stacking wood close to buildings. So I asked around, and I was told it’s safe here - and actually quite common.
Wow, that’s so foreign to me. I knocked down a live tree the other day because it was full of termites.
