New Wood Shed Build

Scored all the lumber from a treated deck on Wednesday and Thursday and this is what i built on Friday. Well..... its a start.




...... After a hard days work........

Yeah I worked like a dog and they must have gotten Tuckered out just watching me..... or maybe from their swimming in the pond adventures ha.

Well I still need to put the back wall up and a roof on it. its 24' long 5' wide and and average of 6' tall. So if my calculations are correct it will hold 5.625 cords. That's filled to the brim.

All of my wood is cut to 18" so that's what I planned on was three rows. Four would not fit even if it was 16". Yes it will be covered with a metal roof that's another days work. I still need to put up the rear wall and then I can fabricate the roof system. I will have to put a couple posts on the front and rear walls to carry the weight of the roof. I have more of the treated framing lumber I just need to figure out how I can get the most out of what I do have in terms of least waste and best structure.

As for the wood I have it at my father's land css since February and March. It is in full Sun and wind for optimum drying. I will fill the shed in September. But I was almost thinking of buying 10 Face Cord for $600 delivered so that this stuff I have stacked in the picture can dry 1 more year.

So I finally got some fire under my rear and finished the rear wall and roof system a few weeks ago and put the steel on the roof yesterday. I also put up a rough cut fascia board with the trophies. All in all I think I had $300 out of pocket into this build

well its a sad sight seeing no wood drying in the shed but atleast it can be used to dry something haha

See we get quit a bit of snow here each year and I thought I needed more rafters and purlins but my father who is a contractor assured me it would be fine. I was very surprised at how much the steel stiffened it up. I was up there on the roof to nail it and it was a lot sturdier than I expected.

Yeah it will definitely be easy to clear off once I get nervous. But I was also thinking of adding 2 more intermediate rafters which would be ideal....its easier to fix now than later on when its on the ground. Plus the extra rafters can't hurt it.
