EPA shed modifications

Just an FYI that the EPA shed website suggests some minor improvement options, including 1ft over hangs. Here is the link.

That's my plan, my shed is 10 feet long and the roof panels are 12 feet so there is a 1 foot overhang back and front, my shed is going to look just like the one in the picture, I have the materials but haven't had the time to get the damn thing constructed. I have a friend that might help me so hopefully this year Ill get the damn thing up.

Yuck. Big time thumbs down for the EPA. Enough government nanny nonsense.

I'll just do the modified 8ft EPA as a way to learn/practice some basic carpentry skills. (My grade school daughter is enthusiastic to learn too.) I'd do larger, but then I'm afraid it'd no longer be easily moveable ( a friend said he could drag the empty original plan). Come 2021, I'll do something Iarger with a more permanent location. Sick of tarping....

The only thing better than a one foot overhang is a three foot overhang. Costs very little. We want to keep the rain off the wood.

The burnwise program is a fantastic program aimed at educating woodburners on proper fuel useage and burning techniques. It has nothing to do with the regulation side of things. Which btw has improved the stoves available to us greatly.
