As to where we are going to store it, that's the rub.
1. Stacked on pallets and topped with a tarp or used tin roofing.
Need a tarp?
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/retail_stores.taf#GA , HF tarps
won't last forever but they are not spendy. Know someone who runs a
mill and has bark slabs?
2. Poles in the ground, saplings for rafters & such, get some cheap
tarps from HF for a roof cover.
3. Stack the firewood in a rectangle like it was the walls of an
outbuilding, leave a door way. Use saplings or boards across the top
and a tarp over that, let the tarp hang over the door way. Not only
do you get the firewood stacked but you have a building that looks
like a big wood pile <g>.
