I picked up a whole tree all by myself!

One slice at a time that is.....:D
My old wooden racks buckled under the weight so i had to move everything, demolish them and put up these new metal racks that i traded a company for a small plaque for.

Then load EVERYTHING back one piece at a time. I know this took me 3-4 days having to do it all myself (3-4 hours at a time).

But I still have room and those things will never buckle on me. The only problem is I will NEVER use all that wood before i die!:(

Betcha the first bit of wood you need is right on the bottom and right at the back!

Well i thought about that just for the reason you stated. That's why on the bottom i stacked the tree slabs flat because i may never get to them but the nice pieces of walnut and cherry are stacked sideways on the 2nd shelf so i can just slide them out instead of having to remove the whole stack to get to them!:eek: got some nice flat poplar on the top shelf stacked at the edge easy to get to....believe me i sat there thinking about this during my frequent rest breaks.

Each stack also does not overlap with the stack next to it so if i want something in the third stack, second shelf, fifth board down i can get to it on the end and the most i have to move is whats on top of that stack maybe 4 or 5 boards.:D

I believe you have violated every rule of lumber stacking!!!

i thought lumber was best kept in a heap out back of the shop.....

oh, i didn't take pictures of THAT pile!:D
What is so funny is, last nite i went looking for a piece of gutter under the roof back there and discovered a branch that had pieced the roof and was dripping water and my first thought was....WOW, i forgot i had all these nice boards back here!:rolleyes:
