Hey Jeepman

Why didn't you buy the sides when you put up that purdy blue building. At least I got the full length sides and back. hehehehehehe Oh and what is that funny looking slant wall in the back round??? You a tree hugger???

I want the breeze to blow through it.. As for that slanted wall.. Friends that is what we refer to as a federal and state tax write off.. It really does a good job of heating the house during the buffer seasons.. Plus on these bitter cold sunny days.. They will bring in some serious heat to the storage tank.
One of these days I want to get rid of all the stuff excluding the woodshed in the backyard.. and put in one of them there indoor boilers..Something a bit more efficient.
 
This is a great thread for me, as you can see I need to build another shed myself. This is where I store my overflow/ next years wood. I've got five pallets laid down between these trees with wood stacked four to five feet high. You'll notice I've spared no expense with this arrangement and have the tarp bungeed at each end. :clap:

When the time is right (either I run out or in the Fall) I haul my wood up here. The door on the left goes into the garage, first door on the right is the shop and the second door is the wood shed.

This is my remaining wood supply for this year, December was brutal! This is 8' X 16' and I usually fill 3/4 of it. It also doubles as a paint booth for small parts. (A-arms hanging from the ceiling) We've got a couple cats that sleep in here as well.

And this is looking back towards the door. Some years I try to fill this with kindling but this year I just stuck my knot free strait grain easy splitting stuff in there.

The search feature is your friend.:chainsaw:

What's the bigger eForum ettiquette faux pas: starting a redundant thread or reviving a defunct thread from months or even years ago?

I'm not trying to be a smartass. I'm curious since I've been tempted to reply to threads from long ago but have refrained at the risk of :deadhorse:

I would hope the only reason someone suggests using the search feature is as a resource and not to discourage starting a new thread. I guess I can't speak for everyone but I enjoy talking about this stuff, if I didn't I wouldn't respond. If we're going to be expected to search everything we may as well be members of Google.

I have had a lot of trouble with the 'search' feature on AS - often could not find things that I know are buried in threads, or even thread topics.

I have enjoyed this thread, or at least this version of it. And I appreciate it when someone is able to refer me to a specific, previous thread if I missed it or could not find it.

Seems to be a bigger deal in the chainsaw forum where you get multiple 455 vs 361 threads on a weekly basis.

I guess that redundant threads don't bug me. I reckon if a thread sucks, the free marketplace of ideas will winnow it out and no one will reply.

I mean, I start crappy threads no one wants to reply to all the time. I just say to myself, I suck, dust myself off, and get on with my life. :cheers:

Like these kinds of threads?

"what type of oil . . ."

"who makes the best saw . . ."

"how do I sharpen . . ."

"how much would you charge for . . ."

We were all newbies at one time, and maybe the redundant questions show us what we all have in common.

A thread like this should be a sticky. People complete new woodsheds all the time and it is nice to be able to add the pics to all the others. Would also be good to have it up top all the time for people that are starting the design process and need ideas.

Same would go for the woodhauler thread.
 
back on track

Well, getting this thread back on course. Here's a pic of the area next to my Taylor Stove. The Stove is on the left, the nearest building is the primary garage. I've gone through most of that wood since the picture was taken about 2.5 weeks ago.

I've got another area attached to the second garage that we just started stacking next years wood in. It's a little smaller than the pictured area- I think I can get about 4 cords stacked nicely (with room for air).

You going through some serious wood. How much you burn in a season?
 
this is our first year with an OWB. So far my estimate is that we've used maybe 6.5 or 7 cords. And we've got a cold spell (for us) coming up in a few days. :) We started the stove in late October- heating a 125yr old farmhouse (2,600sq ft).

I've got almost 2 cords stacked for next year and getting a load of logs (hopefully 3 cords when cut) delivered in a couple of days. I sure hope that load works out, I'd love to get a few more at the price he's asking.
 
Cheap and dirty

Pallet parts, took the time and effort to pull a variety of nails and sort odd lumber parts to gain raw materials to cobble this stuff together, and as soon as I stop refilling these two areas I'll make it a proper shed.
When 100% full, the area under both tin roofs will hold 26 cord by volume. I used a quart bottle of oil as the universal measuring device to show split sizes for new firewood customers.
