Good stuff- I imagine that kid is going to work in “the wood mines"- LOL

DMF- It’s strange about wood shrinkage (There was shrinkage!).  If you look at the Holz threads, many will put a stick in the middle of the pile, and when the pile shrinks to a mark at 80% of the original height- it’s dry.  Shrinks 20%!.  On a 5’ pile- that’s a full foot of loss!

Whenever I see Hansson’s setup- I feel a little less adequate- LOL

Yeah. That’s it. Shrinkage. I had a lot more wood cut and stacked but it shrunk. I wasn’t lazy getting it in. I had cords and cords and cords but it shrunk. Yeah. That’s it. 

Did it shrink when it got wet?
(not sure if this translates to Swedish).....

These sheds make me wish I were handy in the shed-building way, which I am not.  This is the ideal thing IMO.  I’ve often wondered why there aren’t people offering to install wood sheds (much like any other shed sold at the big box stores).  I guess for most people, if they are heating with wood they are the type to DIY.  I’m in that minority that works a lot and doesn’t have time for a major project, yet I still loves the ambiance and savings of wood (even if I have to buy it c/s/d).  Maybe after I have a few more seasons under my belt, I’ll set aside some time and education for a DIY project.

Jeff that is a iceshanty that triples as summer mini storage, fall hunting blind and of course winter iceshanty. It is very light I can load it by myself if I get it positioned just right with the truck down low and the shack propped up on a 2by then back under and slide it into truck. Much easier with two people though. Materials are 2x4s ripped in half for framing, 1/4” sheathing, 1/2"ply on roof with rubber roofing and 1 1/2” foam board insul.
Adios P- Yeah no child labor laws around this place he’s already well aware of what will be happening when it cools down a bit this fall -cut load haul spit stack,cut load haul spit stack.....he gets it though and loves to help. Daughter is becoming quite adept at running the control for splitter aswell. Just her doing that one part helps alot.

All of the wood sheds I saw in this thread are awesome.  I have been getting the itch for one.  I think next season i’ll do it!  I hate tarps!

awesome sheds. some day i’ll have one or two myself!
