I talked with the wife of the neighbor, that essentially has this shed in their back yard, and they see it every day. She was very happy and loves how it looks. She mentioned how she loves the dark green steel roof and how it's tiered.
Yes, the light is nice. This one is solar, with a remote solar array with just enough cord to reach the far side of each roof. That way the solar panel is hidden, but still effective. I think it was like 20 bucks or so. I'm pretty happy with it, and probably will buy more of this type.
Motion sensor only. It pouches up motion quite a ways away. I wish I could turn it on constant mode though. That's my only gripe.
It is a pretty quick and dirty but an improvement over last year. I present... the hot box. After I took this pic I was able to fill it up with all of the splits on the ground there. I am pretty happy with the clear roofing, and as I was putting logs in the top I could hear the moisture popping in some of the wetter logs. That was great. I might do some clear side panels but maybe not. The wood is already in pretty good shape so I can put off improvements until next year. It is at an angle to keep the rain from pooling and I will likely add a second bay on the right side. It holds a little less than 4 cords.
Looks good JackHammer...Wood shed on the cheap, any worries about it when 18" of wet snow blows thru the snowbelt??
Yes, we have had 28 at a time and it can be a pain. But, on the cheap?! Have you seen the price of lumber! The slope should help and the wind blows across that path so the snow typically wouldn't pile up quite so high during a storm. If it collapses, that's ok too. It is easy to build and repair. I built a greenhouse last year in a similar manner, and that has done remarkably well. That made it through some heavy snow and wind last year. Aside from some occasional falling wood, I think the woodshed will do just fine.
Seems to be working well. We are going to some 12' I believe that is going to have those panels as a roof. I believe we are doing the side panels also.
If you do have the plastic panels on the side make sure they have a support system. A falling or tossed log could easily crack the panel.
Ok, a bit more ash in the shed. This is pretty much it for the two ash trees that I had dropped and then cut and split. There's some uglies, and shorts, and a few 1 splitter pieces that I'll probably swing the maul on to split, that would probably fill the shed up, but it's got to look good since we'll be looking at this for over a year.
I've got a half cord of elm at the patio stack that we didn't burn this season, and won't either. I'll put that in the left bay to finish off 2022-23's wood, and there will be some left over for 2023-24 stack in the right bay
I started refilling the center bay that I pulled wood from for this season. I had about a cord left over from this year and that will be for 23-24. The actual usage for this season isn't set yet, because we're still burning. There's a part of a stack at the patio, that I'll probably burn all of, but any left over will go into the 23-24 stack (on the right) I split all of the rounds I had on hand and sort of stacked them on the right of the right bay. Idk why I did that, when I could've just stacked them in the middle bay. I think I did that so if I had to take from this year's set aside bay, I still can and not bury that fully seasoned wood under this freshly split wood. I'm leaving the right bay open for equipment until I get my new garden shed built. Then I can fill that and be 3 years ahead. This year's Christmas tree is in the burn barrel along with splitter chaff and some saw chips. I have a few more splits that are too long that I have loaded in my jig. It's sure nice having a splitter at my place so I can split as I need, and not go and get it from my buddy's place all the time.
Shed looks great packed w/ wood. I thought we'd be all but done burning by now but mother nature had other thoughts.
