The hickory you guys helped identify and white oak-90 degrees here this afternoon-this is '16-'17 wood
Now Hickory brings a happy tear to my ear. Now I need a hug.... Guess I'll go tell my wife I love her. She'll hug me!!!
Nice addition with hickory and white oak! Doesn't get much better than that... Love your steel roof on that woodshed. Really makes it look first class! You perfect stacks don't hurt either!..
Eric VW - Yeah pal, I'd say that'd be your best bet-Thx Fanatical1 your compliments are humbling-hope to add at least two more full stacks in there by weekends end-at least have it on the ground ready to split in front of it-
Shawn Curry I regret not putting that on my house, I was trying to save money when I built my house 10 years ago-I will replace it to match someday-my house is cedar and that copper color has always been my favorite-hey, the wood heats the house, it needs kept pampered right?
Man, Ashwatcher, pics of your shed just... don't... get... old Waiting to see it STUFFED to the gills!!!
I love the professional look to your shed, did you build it yourself or did you have someone give you a hand/do it themselves? Mine is a little thrown together.
I built it myself, with help from a skilled carpenter on cutting the rafters and helping put the metal on-took 2 weeks, more or less, expanded metal floor, shadow boarded ends, facing south-gets 10-12 hrs of sun a day and a due west breeze-built in 2010 40' long, 4' wide-two 8' long, 6' high stacks per bay, uglies in between-thanks to all-
Eric VW Working on it bud-really committed to getting at least 3 yrs ahead-the wood from today will be placed on pallets on up the bottom for winter after next-I have two in place for the stacking of it and room for about 4-5 more pallets-that and keep reloading ash, maple and beech to the main shed...appreciate your support and kind words-dang what a great bunch of people here...
I see a good location for a fire pit LOL Some uglies in there for future cooking on the future fire pit Good pics, looks like a great place to go after work, split some wood & wind down ! Need a picture of Scotty's "key hole" fire pit one similar would look goo there !
Keep after it Ash! I'd like to come see it myself (ok, with my hugs-giving wife too!Wait! Hugs-givinin' to me) one day... could bring a saw or two!!! Sorry if my rash 'southern transplanted Yankee' sense of humor comes across the wrong way sometimes...
An outdoor rocket stove set up like NW Walker's set up is quite inviting as well With heated benches, to boot!
Funny bogydave -If you look close in the last bay with the junk and wood cart-there is a fire pit sitting on the left hand side just waiting to be placed out-the brush burn spot cant be driven through-the couple helpers I had drying in my house, even though I specifically said "no nails" didnt listen very well-every time it rains I go out and scrounge more nails out of that spot-so-since I cant drive or mow over it I just burn there and weed-eat around the edges-friends gonna bring by a large magnet to help me try and get em all...
The way the overhang was done will help keep the rain off the wood, a good design. And the roofing is very well done!
Eric VW-Sir from what I can gather, and I'm a good judge of people, you are welcome at my home anytime-tenderloin and beer on me...hey, we're neighbors...Love to show you the farm
Cool Found a pic of Scotty's http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/keyhole-pit-burgers.771/ I burned a bunch of pallets out back couple years ago, picked nails for a week, 2 coffe cans full. Used a magnet, hope I got them all. Dumb move on my part. Hope I don't find any with a foot or tires
The pitch on the front is 12/12, the back is 4/12-It matches my house-(thats my late moms house in the background, mine is to the right out of view)-You guys have a great evening and happy hoarding tomorrow
