An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I added a few layers of wood to the outside of the Norwegian wood stack, to create more space inside for the rest of the wood I have left to split. It is now 4 feet high. And yes, now I know how to keep the logs flat as I grow the stack, so it doesn't collapse after stacking up more than two feet 🙂

Here's a view from the center - although getting the camera and the tripod in there without the camera falling over and scratching the lenses is getting seriously sketchy:

Norwegian wood stack, now 4 ft high #2

The amount of wood I have left to split is getting tantalizingly small. I expect to be done and to finally cap this stack some time this week. At last!

This is a follow-up of this post.

Once it is capped, where do you pull wood from for use?

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 1 points 17 minutes ago

In reverse I guess - uncap it and slowly destack it 🙂 This is my first Norwegian stack, I'm learning as I go.

It’s reached a point that I get excited when I see a new post from you. We may need to find someone that can forge your dull man documents soon.

That said, continue being dull please

I once had a tree
that ca-ame down
during a storm

I sawed it to logs
then spent a while
buiding a Norwegian wood pile

It's in the form of a circle
and you can fill it with air
though its better to stuff it with rounds
'cuz they're sure to stay there

Wiiiith the bark pieces I made
theeee roof tiles
for my Norweigian wood pile

That is a very respectable stack. Well done!
