   Get it and work the details out later! :)

   If you search the site you'll find a bit of information on drying. The only issue I can really see with outside is that if it gets cold enough to freeze the wood it'll take longer to dry... Minor issue.

   Sticker it properly and start your stack on old pallets so that ground moisture is not a factor.  Use visqueen when you cover it and you'll get a solar kiln effect.  Airflow from the sides is best as the ends dry overly fast anyway.

   Yeah, just clear plastic comes in rolls.  You'll want a fairly heavy sheet so that it will last while the wood is drying and not be whipped off by the first wind that comes along.  You might as well get a roll because weather and sunlight will likely cause a need for a new layer (or several) before your wood is ready to use.  Here's a link to a source for the 6 mil rolls.  You can actually get 10 mil but it's expensive and hard to find... 6 mil is the heaviest commonly available rolls.
