If in 10 years the post start to rot you should have saved enough money to pour stem walls and frame it in. Problem solved...
Or he try to sell it faster. :hmm3grin2orange:

Looks nice, but those holes for the posts are nowhere near deep enough. I know kentucky is full of big rock. What is your frost level? I would have dug them 3 foot in southern ohio. I think your building is going to heave this winter when the ground freezes. Also just from experience, never put concrete under a post, you need some gravel for drainage. Sorry......dont want to be the bad guy but seen alot of issues from shallow posts up here.
Someone has relieved me of the good 12ga extension cord I bought in February
I don't care how you do something, someone will have a different way to do it. Thats part of being human

Hmm idk about that.
It's water under the bridge now... whether it rots off in 10 yrs or heaves this winter, it's just something I'll have to deal with when the time comes.

I do know.... lol. Ridgid make a good one also, but I prefer the Bosch, it's superior.
Haywood I've make plenty o cabinet/shelves with it works great!
+1. That's kind of what I did. A few bottle jacks will hold it up while you work to save the posts. It will groan a bit, kind of like a sinking ship, while you hoist it up.I wouldn't worry about it. Its really not that bad. In 50 years cut the beams 4" form the ground fill in the hole with cement and rise it up a few inches get a metal foot and anchor it to the cement.
Its looks plenty strong!
oh god.... keep em clean and their all good.
in the masonry business nothing last's for more then a few months. Milwaukee is the only thing that holds up, but look at the prices compared to the home depot homeowner stuff.
My compound miter saw is a 10" Craftsman.. It missed cutting the full dimension 2x6s by just a tiny bit, I always had to break off the last corner. If it ever dies on me, the next one will be a 12". I don't expect it to though as little as I use it.

Haywire,
Are you planning on drying or just storing wood in your three sided shed? I store my wood in one bay of my open front shed and it doesn't dry very fast in the shed compared to having it outside. I try to have the wood dry enough to burn for most species before putting in the shed. It will keep great once it's in there.
I'd like to build a woodshed out at dad's with all open walls for good airflow. Just a roof and some posts. I might add cattle panels for walls to keep the bovines in the pasture from knocking over my stacks. They do it all the time with my outside stacks.

It'll be half wood and half general storage. If I stack it 7.5' high, the wood side should hold 7.5 cords.
Next summer, I'm think I'm going to add a lean-to to the left side of it. I'll either move the mower there and use the whole thing for wood or just put the wood in the add on. My original goal was to have space for 3 years worth of wood. Maybe with the add on, I can still accomplish that.
