About what size is it, Sarah? How much wood are you estimating it will hold? I really like the idea of having the boiler under roof. Nicer to load in inclement weather and should help that investment last longer!

Its about 12' x 20 slab with 14' x 24' roof, 8' ceiling in back, 10' in front. All green treated lumber, all in it cost is about $930, were still planning on putting 3 walls, about $250 more... It'll hold 11 cords fully stacked. About 1/2 winter's worth of wood.
Here's the new shed!

Right now, we're enjoying some new shade.

Looks sturdy!

Maybe add a few stools in there to enjoy the shade?

Looks good. Sweating it out in the heat today will make not digging in the snow that much better.

Zero clearance on the OWB (obviously)?

There's a few inches clearance on each side... Just hard to see in the pics.

[Ronaldo]

Looks real nice guys! Are you for hire?

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

Very nice work! Can't imagine how nice that will be here in another 6 months

Thanks. I have very poor carpentry skills. This is the first project of this size I have done myself. It turned out better than I pictured in my head. As far as hiring us... yeah I think I will keep to my day job.
