New Wood Shed almost done

[kayakkeith]

The new wood shed is almost done - its 20 feet long and about 10 feet high and width is about 10 feet. As you can see from the pic my piles have fallen over but they will be moved into shed this weekend or so - better pictures when I get it done

Very Nice shed!

 

[PapaDave]

Wow! Fancy.
Steel roof? Looks real nice, and closeup pics would be great. :coolsmile:

Looks real good Keith. Now do a better job of stacking when you put that wood in the shed. lol

 

[kayakkeith]

will get a good pic up later but question on stacking - I am putting in a crushed gravel floor over some tarp - would I need to stack the wood on platelets or just on the rock? Or at least on some junk wood if not pallets

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Keith, it is always better to get the wood off the ground, even if only an inch or two. Some junk wood will work fine and if you like pallets they work too. I just don't like pallets so do not use them. I just go out in the woods and cut some saplings and lay them down. They are good for a few years and the only cost is a little time and a little gas for the saw.

Looks nice!

Judging by the walkway stones, you have a bit of a hike to get wood however......

Do you shovel that walk all that way, in the winter?

[kayakkeith]

no - in our area there is usually 3 foot of snow on the ground all winter - basically the shed is for the supply of wood for seasoning. As fall approaches I will put a couple cords on big racks on the porch and beside the house. I also will snow blow a trail out to this new shed and periodically bring a couple wheel barrows up if needed but again the shed will be for the big storage of stuff. Looks like I can get about 8 to 10 cords in shed so I will have a couple years supply always down there. Last year all of the wood I burned was near the house . This year the shed was done to start the long term storage solution

looks prefect. What did that cost I know your own labor is priceless. Just trying figure how much to save. And how much time to include. Not that I have either time or the money. Can't wait for close up pictures.

 

[kayakkeith]

until I get the rock down and stuff probably close to $1500 - the framing is all pressure treated wood and the side stuff is hemlock

 

[bogydave]

Looks great. nice front eve !!
I like the location of the chair, just need to sit in it (with a beer in the holder) & enjoy the view.
(oops, maybe it's the bosses chair )
Where'd you find level ground in WV ?? Must be on a ridge top (Preston county WV my roots)

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Isn't that just like Bogydave? Sit and drink a beer rather than splitting that wood! :lol:

Sorry Dave, I just had to do some picking on you.

 

[kayakkeith]

yea its a ridge top all right - Tucker County - Davis -WV - highest town in WV - we are the top of the mountains - thats why we get so much snow

I call BS! I know that contractor too well--doesn't he have a $5,000 minimum price?

 

[kayakkeith]

$1500 was materials another $1700 about for labor - here is the latest pic and all that needs to be done yet is stone for floor - will start stacking tomorrow.

materials were all pressure treated wood for framing and rough cut hemlock for sides. Metal roof

 

[kayakkeith]

oh the size - 20 feet wide by 10 feet and highest point is about 10 ft and lowest about 7 feet

Sit & drink beer & watch my Son in Law split wood is even better LOL
