Damm.. I've worked Damm hard the last few years staying at least a years a head of my burn season.. I always have some in the shed ready to burn and then I fill the rest in with next years wood. This year I didn't buy anywood because I was 2 years ahead. I had almost 12 cords ready to burn and another 3 that needed to be cut waiting to be split.
I've never covered my wood, I've always figured that whatever tarp I put over my wood to block the rain just prevents the sun and wind from drying it. This year I didn't have enough time to get all my wood under the woodshed but I figured a little later never hurt anything since I really didn't have room for it all anyway.
It;s rained so much and the air is so humid that I'm having ahella of a time getting my fires going, the wood seems so wet!!! it's been dry for 2 years!!! My fault because I normally try and burn alot of soft wood this time of year witch I cut around the property. I cut it but I haven't had time to split it and pile is as of lately, even though it's been down for 8 months it still won't burn.. I'm going to run out of cedar logs to split for kindling..
lessoned learned I must say. Never depend on a dry fall always get your Sh*t together first.....
Now just to mention I do have 1/2 my wood shed full of very dry wood from 2 years ago, but I've been trying to load the empty half so I have the good half blocked off.
