    Exactly what motivated me to build one. :coffee: It's nice not having to worry about covering and storm proofing the wood. It's in there nice and cozy until i need it.

    Lookin good jackel! keep the pics coming

    Very productive day here at the Smith homestead:)
    After work I got the new splitter assembled, and then I started stripping down the last four skids of they're plywood.Man what a chore that was.They are nailed and screwed along every runner.:headbang:wife and kids came home and we finished pulling all the nails out.We then put up all the sheets on the roof except for 3 pieces that need cut down.So I'm happy now.Just got to put on the last 3 pieces and put down tar paper hopefully later this week.Storms are coming tonight and tomorrow.

    Looks great Jackel. I hope you had a chance to get some diagonal bracing on that before it gets hit with wind. My ole sign days are thinkin' thats quite a wind block. (You said storms were coming) Gonna be an awesome woodshed... :yes:

    Unfortunately I didn't. I had planned too and it got late.We were rushing to put things away and I forgot to go back and put some on.its pretty sheltered and we live low in a valley. So hopefully it will be ok till I get home

    Looking good - and building the whole thing from recycled pallets = gooder!
    Well, look on the bright side - think how sturdy those puppies are going to be for the decking!;)

    Very nice! That'll be great storage. Wish I had room for a woodshed like that. Mine only holds a cord :(

    I tell you I was surprised how dry it is inside after all the rain we have been getting the last few days with the north side wide open. I definitely am excited to not have snow covered and frozen tarps this year.
