LumberJack time



Wood Shed Progress.

I've been away from the "Island" for a few weeks. But returned to complete the wood shed.  And thankfully, the Pacific Northwest Weather has been perfect!

Kindling

Kindling Storage.   One Item I wanted to build into the Wood shed was a separate storage for Kindling.  As seen here, I built a box, accessible from the back of the shed.  This location was so you could have easy access anytime, while allowing a completely full shed.


You fill the box, and as you use material, you remove the "slats to access the lower kindling as winter progresses.





When I head back up next week, I'll update with the completed project, including the metal roof!



A Wood Shed in the nick of time!

I looked at the calender a few weeks ago and freaked out. September was here, and I had no where to store the winter's wood. It was time to build "Out-Building #3" Project Shed-it!


As you've seen in the previous post, We laid out and poured footings for the building.  Here, we've build up the grade, built a "yard tie" border, and back filled the floor with "Road Crush" gravel.  I had decided that a raised floor shed might be a little over the top and would increase the expense of the project, so we went with gravel.  I think it should be fine.  we will see.

4x6 nominal, pressure treated posts. 2x12' sandwiched beams. 2x6 rafters.

Squarded up bulding, beginning the OSB sub roofing.



I had Help.  Virg and my neighbor Super-T.
