If you want to stack without it leaninig against anything criss cross the staves every so often. It helps hold it together without supports. It looks like someone got in a big hurry. Do you realize how uncommon wood fireplaces are becoming. There is a huge environmental move to make them obsolete now in the lower 48. I should not say uncommon but less readily available without trying.

Reminds me of the guy who went to court to divorce his wife. The Judge asked why. He said because she is a poor house keeper. Down right filthy. The Judge asked for an example. He said "every time I go to pee in the kitchen sink there's dirty dishes in my way!"

Reminds me of when Mickey Mouse was divorcing Minny. Judge says "Let me get this straight. You want a divorce because your wife is crazy?" Mickey says "No judge, you misunderstood me. I didn't say she was crazy, I said she was *ucking Goofy."

I'm with BrownThumb in this matter , cause if The 'Ol Lady would be equipped with some imagination what so ever she should be able to stack that wood in notime.
Stacking it as she does is just a waste of time and green.
He has to attend to the shop and has to work hard for a living.The least she could do is to stack the wood right.
Remember myself stacking wood for the 'ol man , ended up with me going on a 2 week trip to Sri Lanka ( former Ceylon )
When doin the job I started imagine goin there after seeing an add in the local newspaper.
Was sort of dreamin myself away , therapywise.
I did a great job with that wood too.
This is 30 years ago.
This is why I sent him the Pickled Herring an the Snus , I understood that he needed comfort .

Here's how it works with the unfairer sex:

She can do anything you can do better
You stack the wood

Bearswatter would no more stack wood than bring it in from the snow.

Here's one I always admired: Men design a house, clear the land, build the house, plumb the house wire the house, paint the house, move the furniture in, plant the lawn, pay for the house... It's her house. Don't believe it? Try divorcing her, see who gets the house.

Way it is son.

Nope, I ain't stacking it. 2 more cords coming her way also. She don't work and the more I do the more she expects.
She is a clean freak and if anything is out of place it will drive her nuts. If I wait long enough she will do it especially when the 2 cords gets dumped on the patio.
She ain't warmed me in years, One less worry.

Tell her to stack the wood and that it can work wonders on just about anything , thats what good 'ol Clint would have told her :cool:
Its like watering your plants , if u give'em water too often they will grow that much , but once a week makes them work for a living.
