My wood shed project

[kennyp2339]

I've finally got sick and tired of the constant struggle of dealing with tarps and have messy wood piles, so I've embarked on a woodshed building mission, this is pic heavy and I hope you all enjoy it

Clearing out an old driveway garden that was once a great producer of thorns, weeds and my favorite... poison ivy

 

[kennyp2339]

Putting in quarry process in layers and tamping in between to make sure I have a solid working base, laying the cement blocks and making sure they are leveled & square with each other before locking them in with more quarry process, laying pressure treated 2x6's to make sure the foot print isn't to big

Building the 1st "bin" each bin hold 2 full cords, the measurements are 10ft long x 5ft wide x 6ft high.
I'm so happy that I finally have order in the driveway

 

[kennyp2339]

Started the second "bin" this week, I've been able to work 2 hrs a day after work, I should have the whole roof and over hang done by tonight, and the shed loaded up by mid morning Saturday.
After this is completed I'll have 2 more bins to go to complete my mission of having 8 cords under permanent cover

Tge shed is facing north west, our predominant "dry wind" comes out of the north west here, but I'm missing the sun, oh well can't have it all

Those are beautiful, Kenny. 4 cords, ready to roll. No more fighting tarps and hoping that you have dry wood when you need it. Superb execution in the right place for your property. I hope to have such excellence here one day.

Thank you so much, it took me 5 years before I decided this was the spot, seeing some of the shed builds here looked pretty intimidating, im not really the best builder or anything, but I took my time, slowed my pace and came up with this.

Back side, almost forgot about it

I know what you mean, I'm still trying to figure out where to put mine, and it's been about 5 years. I have no great locations, and the ones that are passable have trees that will be coming down in the next few years, when time and energy permits. Until then, stacks and tarps. You won't be missing that!

Yea that's my buddy Rawr, he's very active with this project because he understands / benefits having fully dried wood in the winter

Plus, he's probably surveying the mouse hunting potential of a covered woodpile.
