A new member sent me a PM asking for more pics of my woodshed and the attached snowmobile shed on the back. Here you go Turbo . . .
Side shot. Nothing like a full woodshed in the Fall. I should call attention to my Rab motion lights which I installed a couple years back. There are some projects I have done around the house that I have absolutely loved and installing these here was one of those projects. These lights provide a bit of security, but also double as lights when I need to make a night trip to the woodshed (although this isn't a regular occurrence since I tend to load a week or so of wood on my covered porch.)
Another shot of the side . . . as you can see I haven't quite got around to moving my "plant protector" yet. With temps today as warm as they are you may understand why. Incidentally I do not keep my sled in this shed . . . my brother-in-law from CT built this with me for his sleds.
Shot of the woodshed from the front. Originally I was planning on going with the slight slope to the front like many woodsheds I have seen here. My wife convinced me that it may not be necessary . . . and she was right. I have little to no snow and no rain affecting the wood at the front of the woodshed. As you can see most of my stacks are stacked front to back with the exception of the middle where it was partly me being lazy and partly because it was kind of narrow with the front support being in the way to stack in that manner.
Side shot . . . or I should say the other side. Here's my handy dandy step stool which I use to reach the splits above my head. There is also some pressure treated scrap wood just hanging out here . . . along with another friend's Yamaha that was giving him issues. He just kind of parked it there last winter and hasn't shown up yet to move it. Note the covered metal ash pail located well away from any combustibles . . . it's even better when there is snow on the ground.
Another shot from the side . . . easy in, easy out . . . well it would be if there was a ramp there. While looking for an escaped cat this Summer my wife put her foot through a rotted floor board (we didn't use pressure treated boards on the ramp -- I did say it was my brother-in-law's project, right?) so I ended up tearing off the rotted ramp and burning it in the fire pit. I have told my brother-in-law about the missing ramp . . . I'm now taking bets as to whether he will be up to build the ramp or if he'll wait until snow falls and then build a ramp out of snow.
Shot from the side/rear. I realize there isn't much of a slope with the woodshed, but I honestly over-built it so the snow load has never been a real issue. Most of the woodshed itself is built from a camp I tore down with repurposed 2 x 4s and boards. The shingles on the main part of the roof mostly were left-over from various projects (I think I had to buy a few though to complete the project) so the roof is kinda multi-colored. The sled shed attachment was built out of some left over boards from the camp and some scrap aluminum roofing I had kicking around.
OK, this has nothing to do with my woodshed, but here's Andrew Jackson (the Maine coon mix in the foreground) with Harry S Truman (Manx mix) in the background . . . and way back there is Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower. As mentioned in another thread this morning these guys love to hang out in Catcatraz and watch the nearby stacks of wood.
