Who is cutting wood?

[~mikey b]

It never fucking ends.

We've dropped 32 trees on one acre in one year. There are three small pine, two big hudge pine and a hudge cedar that are dying that will need to come down soon too.

I feel your pain. I had 10 heavily wooded acres in WA; keeping up was a full-time job. I solved the problem by moving to the desert. Lol

[bodywhomper]

Ugh! Sorry to hear that. Is it all drought and western pine beetle-related?

[bodywhomper]

I am a bit behind and have been doing some late night splitting.

[bodywhomper]

Peavey or cant hook?

[~mikey b]

Yes

[Garth Bimble]

Nice work if you can get it.

I've been dealing with a lot of wood the last few days.




The inside woodbox, with spots for kindling, newspaper, and assorted accoutrements.

Love that woodbox. Need one just like it except a little bigger. Hope you don't mind if I steal your design?

edit...just how big is it? Probably bigger than the pic makes it look.

FKNA!

[bodywhomper]

Booyah!

Started stacking in the wood shed. Have an empty bay to fill now as used all 7.5 cords between using 4.5 and selling 3 to neighbours who were running low do to very cold winter.

with the cold front moving through CA today, i'm thinking about firing-up the stove, in mid-june at 2500 ft. sheesh.

i want to build a woodshed this summer/fall. just now starting to think about design. thinking pole barn-style sitting on deck block, single pitch roof. i have a lot of small diameter doug fir logs. i'd love to figure out a way to use them. i'm not sure how useful or good they would be as a structural component of the shed. thoughts or examples?

My stove is going.

Those logs will be fine. Peel them and use them.

Last burn night of the season. I'll be up tending this for a while...

Mine from last weekend...

here's my wood shed, utility poles for posts ( PT cedar seconds) and the tin roof are really only thing I bought. Beams and rafters are pine of property. I can get about 10 cords on the left bay and 9 in the right. This is an old pic as did add some knee bracing on the front. Planning on adding on and extension on right as got lots of tin around from all the extra pieces they ship you.

^^Nice-> what are the dimensions?

[DougW]

on centers 24 wide by 12' deep with 3' overhang all around

[bodywhomper]

That looks nice!

I built something similar but much smaller (too small) a few years back. Though mine clearly shows my noob (and rushed) skills compared to your job.

Where I live, I think I'd need to put up some siding to protect the wood from rain. Our wood got soaked/saturated even in when in the direct center. We get a lot of wind and rain with occasionally snow.

[Cabinfever]

Holds 3 cords which is about what we burn a year. For us the fire is for ambiance rather than heat. One more row to fill up...

Us not so much. Not very windy so on sides wood never gets wet and front once and a while but only bottom 2 feet or so. As ir faces south it dries very quickly . Actually on left side there is one more extra row than I would normally put in as good access to slash pile so made another trip.

Some fine looking wood sheds in this thread.

Out of curiosity, are you guys pulling permits and having inspections done when you erect these structures? Around here, there would be a lot of paperwork to do and hoops to jump through before you could put up something of this scale in your yard, and that's if local zoning regs even allowed it.

[Game Over]

We don't need permits for pole barns in our county

[DougW]

I could build a house without a permit or inspection other than electrical. One of the few parts of a regional districts that can do that in BC.

Just finished with a 100' doug fir tree. Took me a few months to get that bad girl split. The last few were a chore since I had to split it into 16th's. I feel like I accomplished something. I had so much wood, I gave my brother and neighbor some too.
