Finally built myself a wood shed

[Cburke]

So this year after two years of burning and carrying wood up a steep hill to my deck, I finally decided to build a wood shed worthy of keeping up with my burning practices. Is 24x8, front opening is 8ft rear is roughly 6ft. Here's some pics. All I have left really is stain. Now mind you I'm no carpenter but I think it turned out ok.
Sorry the picture timeline came out backwards.!

Looking good! This is a project I would like to tackle as well, just have had too many other things get in the way. Like the design!

Looks great. I'm in progress building my own too, lot of work when you are doing it by yourself.

Thanks everyone! Glad I got the hearth thumbs up! Yea doing it by myself was not an easy chore but it was do-able

Nice looking shed! Did you locate it to eliminate the "steep hill" part of getting the wood to the house?

Looks awesome, did you use ondura for the roof?

Yea that's exactly what I did. Instead of wood loads by atv and cart now I can just carry em to the stove room by hand.

And to answer the other question. Yes I used ondura roofing in dark brown.. I was a bit suspicious of it but I followed the manufacturers instructions and it turned out 100times better than I thought it would! Well see how it hold up over time but it is a tar type material so I think it should be ok. I did use 3 inche sheet metal screws instead of the nails they reccomend but it worked out just fine

After 7 years of carrying wood from our porch on the lower level, through the basement, up the stairs through the kitchen, and into the living room, I'm ready to plan a better strategy too...

We're moving soon, and I'm thinking about better ways of organizing... won't be able to start the real planning until we are set on a house...but one possibility is to have drying racks for seasoning and a wood shed for wood that's ready to burn...and a lawn cart to bring the seasoned wood into the garage. Leave the seasoned wood on the cart until it's needed, not stacking additional wood in the garage.

This would go well with my strategy to run a BK. I understand that they need about two sticks a week.
