    I love your woodshed, it looks as big as a house! And it looks like it has a tiled roof, very cool. Have you ever read the book Norwegian Wood, by Lars Mytting? It was written in Norwegian, and I'm reading an English translation. I think you would enjoy it, and find it useful.

    Love this book! Loads of cool pics and great advice. An essential for all coffee tables sat near a fire / stove :)

    Great pics, Duvekot!

    Looks like you get lots of birch wood. What other woods are you getting?

    I'm surprised all those side walk supervisors let you stop for coffee. o_O

    That looks like Fred Flintstone's wheel barrow.

    "WILMA!! Where's my wheel barrow?" :rofl: :lol:

    Nice. Working with the wood and having an outdoor fire at the same time. Our type of guy!

    The sheds is contains a couple of things,
    Got one main wood shed (pic)
    Got another in there full of stuff, it has to be cleared out so i canalso start to use it for wood.
    There is a sauna in the shed (now in use for my motorcycles)
    There is one garage for my quad and a little working place
    On the side there are 6 toilets (one in use) (yes got none in the house and also no running water)
    And on the back of the shed there is a little storage shed (also full of things)
    Next year the plan is to get a big roof on the back, so i have got a nice place to work with the wood and load it to the sheds.
    On the back of the property i got 4 more sheds, not inuse at the moment because there is some dynamite in there i got to get rid of, i am affraid to go there.

    Here some pic enjoy!

    Have a nice day all

    No indoor toilet or running water? That's roughing it!
