    Holy cow, the term me & my buddies would use, "built like a brick chit house!"
    Your all set for that "artisanal" farwood now. Very nice:thumbs:

    Pictures of how it looks now.

    I wanted wide spans with minimal posts, looked into trusses, glue-lam wood beams, and engineered wood beams.
    When I priced them, it was only a little more to use steel.
    The structural roof panels eliminate the need for joists, and make a nice clean look. The construction was simple and quick, just footings, posts, beams, and roof panels, was all done in 10 days.
    I collect a lot of down wood from my 18 acres, some has termites, use in firepit, nice to not have to worry about termites weakening the structure.
    I let it dry out under the roof, any termites die when it dries out.
    I call it a woodshed, but I use it a much as a dry outdoor workspace, and to dry out wood I get out of the woods.
    Most of my indoor wood is stored in another shed on the backside of garage.
    Also have a "wood wall" used as a privacy fence and to store backup wood, can see a little of it in a few of these pics.

    Looking forward to cooler less humid weather so we can get more wood css and relax outdoors and cookout on the firepit, and a few bourbon barrell stouts .

    We love living in the woods!

    Indoor wood on left, outdoor firepit wood on right, splinter in back.
    Firepit is about where pic taken from.

    When I put a new Honda motor on my splitter, the exhaust blows directly at me , so I use a piece of plywood to help with that.

    campinspecter had an elbow put on the exhaust so it wouldn't exhaust straight into the back of the truck while I am loading wood. Would that help you?

    At that size, move everything out, add tables and chairs and have great eating area for a decent size GTG and not worry about rain or sun.

    Dang, i thought my shed was a little overkill. That thing just might be the strongest woodshed on FHC!

    Wasn't it the town of Chelsea too though that hired a helicopter to fly overhead and record undocumented buildings? It was said that they found 42 in that small town! I hope my town does not do that...
