    I've been pecking away at this for a few weeks now. It's a 5'x12' woodshed with a corrogated tin roof. Most of the materials I had and reused, the rest I picked up. Total cost $125.
    I'm going to put the upcoming years supply in here and rotate this onto my porch in October. I have 2 sites where my wood is stored so every spring I will just replace what was used in the winter. I hope this system works for me.
    I dedicated the woodshed to my recently passed boxer , Layla. I asked my wife to make a sign and today I put it up.
    Layla used to hang with me while I would split rounds, she'd find a shady spot and chill.

    Nice shed and it sounds like a solid paln.

    You crafty guys make me feel so inadequate! I'm never sure which end of the screw driver you beat the nail in with!:emb:

    But for some reason, I can :saw: well!

    Excellent work My IS heats my home. I really like the way you built that in the "corn crib" style which will aid in drying the wood. In addition it is high enough to save a bit on the bending and your back will appreciate this. The sign is a excellent finishing touch. Tell your wife she did nice work.

    Wow! That...is...OUTSTANDING My IS heats my home :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
    And the shed looks awesome too!:D

    Like has been posted above, that sign really adds to the finish ....:)

    Looking at the opening of the shed, is left to right oriented east/west along the actual compass? Maketh sense?

    Right where I want to be.
    Nice shed, and I like the sign too.
    I may need to do something like that when Casper goes.......he's always outside with me, no matter what I'm doing.

    That's a beautiful shed, and a great dedication to Layla.

    That's very similar construction style to what I'm planning for my wood shed.

    Looks good and I would have to wager that Layla would find that very acceptable.

    That's a wicked nice shed. Mrs. IS did a great job on the sign. A true fitting memory.
