Ok, I've built a wood shed and have alot of wood.

I wonder if anyone has a nickname for their wood shed.. I'm thinking of using a soldering gun or wood engraving kit and stenciling out a nick name for my shed.

So far, I can think of WOOD WHORES or STACKS GONE WILD.

Anyone got any other name for their "storage area"?



A buddy of mine helps me out when scrounging for free wood and we think there should be a show on History channel, like American Pickers, called "Wood Whores".. Where various teams of scroungers drive around in big trucks searching for wood and get all excited (and compete to get the wood first), for like Oak, ash, etc. Teams start to fight over the wood, fists start flying and there's territories for the wood, like on Deadliest Catch...

And in one segment, guy drives up to a nice pile and walks away all ticked off cause it's spongy pine... <grin>

Anyways, let's hear some names for the wood shed!
 
No pet name for mine but here on this forum, I call it the woodshed. It's an open shed with no walls (made with poles) so in conversation with the wife, I call it the pole shed.

LOL... "wood whores" yup, thats me :) Just can't get enough. I have plenty of wood on my own property, but if I'm driving back from town and see a dead maple/oak in someones yard/property, I'll get the platt book out and find out who owns the property and ask if I can have the wood. Absolutely shameless, I know, but just can't stand to see it there knowing someone else might get it first. LOL
 
Yeah, I call it "The Shed Formerly Known As Mine".

Built it with loving care two years ago and now I have to leave it here when I go. :mad:

That's OK, the next one will be bigger and better. :)

LOL I've done that before.Almost always the property owner says 'Thank You' & is glad to have the mess gone.Though a couple times they did tell me "Sorry,I promised that for my lazy son in law or brother in law :-S " Never hurts to ask though,worst that can happen is they say no.No big deal.

That's when you tell them that you aren't lazy and then hand them your cellphone to call their lazy relative to offer them an ultimative that with you it can be gone within a week.
 
I have two sheds: burn shed for the respectable species, straight grained, appropriately sized splits and the second chance shed for everything else.

lol, didn't cost a whole lot to cantilever the trusses in a few spots when we redid the flat roof.
 
We call ours, barn.
 
I built a wood shed after Irene and got really lucky after the October snowstorm. I have all my dry White Ash under the house and have been using this one for the trees that dropped in the storms. Name? The Love Shack.

Don't encourage him or he'll be building a "Last Chance" shed for punky wood. %-P

Boggydave, I just marvel every time I see that wood shed. I really don't know why you need all of that with that BK, and therefore, logically, you should send at least half of it to me! :cheese:
