We finally have a nice firewood buffer in the house. No need to keep running outside to get more wood. The house can go several days with what’s in there.

The top shelf will probably not be used for wood.

One of the benefits of this setup is that I am now in charge of keeping it filled: it’s less work for the rest of the family to keep fires going, and they don’t have to guess which end of which wood pile outside to pick from.
I commissioned labels so we know what we’re burning and which shelf to preferably pick from.

I love commissioning labels. The kids are very thrilled when it shows up randomly in our lives attached to an actual function. I’m carefully building up my collection of labels knowing I only have a few years to do so before they don’t want to do it any more. What I’ll have built up will have to suffice for the rest of my life.
