Wood Storage

[Nemesis]

I been collecting wood from the woods local to me, I started Friday 9am until 11:30am and again today started 10:30am to around 1pm, there is so much more laying there no one wants so I want to expand my stores, I used a hand saw this got me thinking bit of effort and time plus better cutting equipment I could have quite a lot in very little time.

Also note all these trees were fallen.

Fridays lot are the ones stacked next to my kids training mat, they were all cut on site which was quite hard work, the lot in front of that were got today as you see I got a better system and cut them longer to be then cut at home.




1: should I try removing as much bark as I can.

2: Am I right that it takes a year to dry or season for indoor fire place.

3: I do also buy wood stocks which burns very well, any tricks of the trade when drying wood.

4: Anyone got a large wood shed they can link pic to it or plans found on net.

My idea is to build something about 3 feet wide, 16 feet long and 10/15 feet high, this would be up against my detach house wall, I need this asap as I can't store the wood where it is in the pic above, also anything I have missed?
