Space in the pole barn is at a premium any more so I thought I would give my splitter a place to live a little closer to where I need it. Since the old barn took a dump I figured why not start stacking far wood out here since the old hog house foundation is full of wood? I got all this old barn wood to use so why not right?

That's as far as I got yesterday due to planus interuptice by folks wanting to come by and bother me but I did get a little sumpthin done today albeit not much. The goal is to use as much materials at hand and not pay fer chit.

I would say so far it looks pretty good. Nice job.
 
If you use barb wire on them there insulators should help detour one from touching an gettin shocked
Thats a purdy shed by the way.
 
Got done just in time for the rain to come. It is going to be nice not having to hook up and pull the splitter around anymore. I got 80 bucks tied up in it. still way cheaper than store bought.

What do you have for a floor? If its just dirt , I would recommend a sheet of plastic for a vapor barrier . You don't want your girl getting rusted .
