Reply to comment by nick249713 in What is your least favorite winter prep job? Mine is stacking wood. by GrayHairedRacer

You have to stack it all creative like the Scandinavians. I think the folks from Connecticut also get fancy with their stacks.

In all seriousness, stacking wood is a great time to clear your mind, get some exercise, and prepare for the winter ahead. It might seem terrible in the moment, but it is definitely satisfying once the job is done.

If I’m having a frustrating day I’ll go stack wood to help release the stress. I don’t really enjoy it but at least I’m being productive while having a temper tantrum.

I clean my kitchen for the same reason, if I'm going to be mad I might was well at least have a clean kitchen.

I also clean my kitchen to prepare for the winter ahead. I will clean it again in the spring. 😂

Right? It takes me at least an hour per cord to stack it (often more because my woodshed is not easy to just walk into) and then I feel like half a cord is gone in a matter of days.

Ya man I said it’s tedious not terrible. Definitely satisfying when you finish.
