Shot of the bin I have almost emptied to make room for this seasons cutting. The 2x leaning against the right hand frame were holding up the ricks in this "bin". That bin was originally 12x9' but is now 12'x17' after making the additions. It was full last fall. Burnt about 6 cord, sold 2, rest all moved into the bin in the first picture.
You can see my error in the lean of the RR ties. When I set the ties, I -assumed- that they would hold the pressure. One season showed the error. I should have built it so the 2x's would lean in at the top so the pressure would be relieved as the ricks settled. Doesn't show too well but I have been adding things to them to get some lean into the system.
The "bin" to the right is all Locust cut many years ago, actually before I set the RR ties for the current system when I got tired of the nuisance of "chimney stacking" the rick ends.
