New firewood shed started

[STLfirewood]

I have finally got around to putting the firewood shed up. It has been sitting for a while and now I made the time. I only have some of the poles up. The rest will be up on Monday and the trusses by Tuesday. Can;t wait I need to fill it. There is also a pic of the wood I am getting from my supplier. Pretty nice stuff I think.

Is that going to be two sheds side by side or are you running trusses across both those frames for one big shed? Looks huge! I'm envious, would love to have enough flat ground for that.

The wood look great!

One shed with trusses. It's 45x76. It half of a building I bought. I split it with a friend. It was 160ft to start. The poles are 12x12 pine

Good wood, nice toys, can't wait for more pics.

Agree about having nice flat dry land.

45X76 and you call it a shed? :jawdrop:

just a bit smaller than mine...

 

[Ironbark]

Smaller than mine too.... my house I mean :jawdrop:

 

[STLfirewood]

My plan is to have to add onto it in 3-4 years. Beerman wht size shed do you have? I love big buildings. I turned down some trusses earlier this year. The were 2 piece and would span 110ft. Didn't have the room for that. But man that would have been great

:greenchainsaw: They call mine a 50x80,but my tape shows only76 feet long,it is damn close to 50' wide though.

That's one heck of a wood shed. Makes my 14'x 20' lean to look like it must be for kindling:greenchainsaw:

 

[Ductape]

Sorry, but 45' X 76' no longer qualifies as a "shed" !!


If i sound a little jealous, its because i am !

 

[husky455rancher]

i agree, if i doubled the size of my house it would still fit inside that thing :jawdrop:

Here are a couple more pics. We hope to have the tin on the roof early next week.

Space - the final frontier.

Can't beat a skidsteer for a good all around machine!!

Coming along nicely.
We can only squeeze a 42x85 where there was once a barn. They get small fast.

since uve got three skid steers, wanna give me one for xmas.

I wish I had 3. Only the yellow Deere is mine. The Bobcat is one of the guys helping. The asv we had to get to set the beams and trusses. And a 20ft piece of railroad track chained to the forks. There was so much frontal weight that it would tip the others. That ASV is 105hp and has well over 3k of lift. It has 1400hrs. My cousin just picked it up for 10k. The this economy is great if you have money.

Darned right! One of the carpenters who helped build my house like to use the expression "handier than a shirt pocket". Certainly applies to a skid-steer.

I picked up a 30-ish year-old Bobcat 720 when I started my home construction in 2004. I was going to sell it this spring, didn't get around to it, then, in mid-summer I decided to go with wood heat. Since then, I've been working it moving logs (bought a set of strap-on pallet forks of fleabay) from the neighbors back home and stacking them for later cutting/splitting/stacking.

Sure beats picking up each stick of wood, throwing it on the truck or trailer, then getting it back home and unloading and stacking. I just dump the logs next to the woodpile, cut and split them right there, then stack it.

Butt-ugly and thirsty for gas when run hard, but it still gets the job done!
