Hard work, and dumb luck..

[Urbicide]

As usual, another fine job there Andy. Dumb luck? I say no. Just good karma.

Nice stuff Andy. I envy your shed and energy both.

I look forward to coming out and seeing your place again. Idyllic, with a quiet lake thrown in for good measure.

Good job as always Andy, nice place you got there. I know it doesn't look that way by accident.

Wish I had your energy right now seems like the harder I work the farther behind I'm getting :bang: guess that's the way it is around spring time though.

Out’a bullets but I bet you already knew that

I still enjoy it

Great looking place. Do you have ways of getting easy access to the wood?

I'm kinda in the same boat. Usually don't fill the shed until September, but had so much blowdown I was running out of places to stack it. I ended up selling a few cord as I really hate to see it rot. The Alder won't last much more than a couple of years unless its completely unexposed.
I've got most everything done on my place that I can get to. Still some wood down on the road into the upper acerage.

It's a lot of work but I have to admit I really enjoy being out doing it. Especially in the late winter as the day starts to wind down. Kind of neat to see everything coming back to life. The first trilliums of the spring are a talk about event down here.

I do have to fill my Mom's woodshed but I'm waiting her out to make her use up some of the older wood in there. She's 78 and doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to what I want her to use first.

Nice wood shed Lake...what do yah have tied up in it ($$)? Livewire is right...it costs a lot of money to view this site! Still cheaper than my motorcycle hobby (I think). :hmm3grin2orange:

About $300.. but most of that was the bolts, the roofing and the original part made of LP22 treated timber. The roofing ply was free - Ninten-do (it's a banned word if I don't break it??) Mahogany plywood from video game palletes, the extension framing was all "free" Doug Fir, the floor is free railway ties with 2x12 DF spaced 1 inch for air... The chain link was free... the pier blocks were free... the labor was priceless

It holds just over 8 cords...

I get all this free stuff 'cos I'm a frigging pack rat. I see it, I take it, and then I store it, sometimes for years... The plywood I've had for 15 years, but I did have 172 sheets of it.. only 10 left!!! Heck of a lot of that ply in everything I build..

You and me both...

no kiddin. My wife saw the woodshed and wanted to know why our woodpile didn't look that nice . Guess I'll be milling up some wood for a nice big woodshed :rockn:

I like all those free's in there. Thats my favorite price.

Anybody remember "Men on Film" from "In Living Color?"

That shed definitely deserves three snaps in Z-formation!!

That's a beautiful place you've got there, Lake. I've been all over the country except for the Northwest. Those pictures you just posted make me want to hurry up and get up there. Thanks for sharing...

Ahhh yes...the labor is always priceless! Sounds like a jack of all sheds...Looks good!

I hired a professional graphics company to do an artist concept of my woodshed. Think I should pay'em? Looks like something I would cook up in 'Paint'.

 

[kevinj]

Real Fine Workmanship !!!

I bet it smells real fresh there too.

Alright.
You gave us the plans for a muffler mod,
now can we get the plans for the wood shed ??

I like that shed too! I guess I need to build a decent one and be done with it.

 

[Trigger-Time]

Not going to brag on you'r place Andy.........to damn jealous! :jester:

 

[Bowtie]

I have been hoarding plywood, 2x4's and 2x10's for a few weeks now since i poured my new concrete stamped porch. Now, thanks to Andy, I think I might have a use for them. I been looking at building a woodshed, and that shed looks nice!

I've been wondering that myself... came from the lumber yard like that. Got to mean something.. but to who?

 

[Bowtie]

those are dimensions as wrote when the 4x4 was laying on its side example, 4 x 4 and the 0 means some other measure, hard to tell from the pic

 

[Lakeside53]

I'll believe you, but can't see for the life of me how you see that!:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Bowtie]

Only reason I know that is we get them shipped into the job quite a bit with measurements like that.
