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…
If you have trees in your area, something is decomposing them. It could be termites (subterranean if you’re up north), carpenter ants, beetles, or fungus. I certainly wouldn’t put it close to my structures unless I lived in an actual tundra, which from the pictures, you don’t. You definitely have something up there eating all of that wood on the ground.
I live in northern WA and had a termite infestation in my house. They’re all the way in BC as well.
