Bringing into The Home
If there is no time to build a wood shed or just do not have the ambition, than other options are available. Simple stacking the wood on a porch if have one or close to the house. Placing post into the ground to stabalize the wood from falling over is recommended. A tarp or some type of plastic canvas can be used to cover the stacked wood. Now it is recommended that wood that goes in the house not be more than one to two week's worth by CW. Wood sheds, wood boxes and managing the mess. Last updated on 28/02/2007 Replaced wood-heat.com.

There are different types of wood storage compartments within the house. When building a home and knowing that wood is going to be used to heat it, it would be good to figure out a plan to build a storage compartment for wood. Afterwards can be an option, but why not take care of two things at once! Some racks can be used to hold the wood, but just have to make sure that it is maintaining consistent amount of wood. If you have the luxury to have an elevator from the basement to the woodstove or location of fireplace is better equipped for transportation wise.
Managing the mess is very important. Wood chips and bark can fall throughout the house while transportation. If constant cleaning during the time when wood is being used, it will prevent bugs and other type of parasites roaming free. The loss of bark while going through the splitting process lowers the heat consumption and bugs do not want to hang out regardless, but it is possible. There is tough canvas bags out there to transport wood so woodchips and scuffing up your arms and clothes are saved. They are cost effective at that and only range between ten to thirty dollars depending on the size. The proper set of tools used to clean and take care of the mess can save much hassle. I rather spend a little more on tools to make my job easy to make it harder in the long run.

I must say I like the indoor fire wood holder more then the out door. Which do you prefer, and I think the if you imported some pictures rather then linking us, it might help the visual affect of your blog. : D
This is getting there...but think about your audience. Other than following your process, what are they to learn about firewood? I think you need to "branch out" beyond the basics here and expand the discussion. You can talk about ecology, preservation, pollution, etc. that are all involved with using wood for fire. This isn't challenging you enough.
