The threshold to sanity is when he starts figuring the actual volume of the shed itself, in his CSS'd cords calculations. Burn the wood, then the shed!what harm can befall if any scab fails? it's just wood :-D

Agreed. Time is money, and scarfed joints require a post beneath. I won't hate on anyone working with the materials they have, but I'd rather save my time (and support posts) and just buy the lengths I need!allergic wood stretching
I pilot EVERYTHING90% of that wood came from the power equipment company down the street. They get mowers, tractors, snowblowers etc shipped in crates. Most of the wood seems to be Oak. Real PIA to hammer stuff into. Had to drill pilot holes as I do not have a nail gun.
The wife already thinks I spend too much time and effort on 'Wood'. So saying I am going to drop a couple of hundred on Materials for a wood shed was a non-starter. Sure I would have loved to have brand new materials that I could cut to length, but it was either this or just continuing to stack on pallets. The problem with the latter is I was running out of places to put pallets to stack on. So a shed where I could stack higher without the potential of a collapsing pile was in order. It has stood up to an 11" snowfall and a wind storm with 40+ MPG gusts. I will admit that I did buy a tarp to cover the wood on the roof. (I know not ideal but it only cost me $30 for it and the materials to fasten it)Agreed. Time is money, and scarfed joints require a post beneath.

Agreed that you gotta do what you gotta do, for now. But if burning wood for heat is going to be a fixture in your life, the end goal should be a shed. One of the most common posts on this forum, is members who finally built their own shed, hating themselves for not doing it sooner.I find nothing wrong with using tarp. Is it a pain the neck to using tarps, yeah sometimes, like winter. But for those with limited money, resources, and space, you gotta do what ya can.
What is your roof angle? You want to make sure you don't get a big snow buildup in the winter?View attachment 326119
I just started my shed, which was my first time building anything like this. It's going to take some time as I only live there part-time. When finished, it will be 6x16.
I am at about 8 degrees.What is your roof angle? You want to make sure you don't get a big snow buildup in the winter?
