Shed build

[foragefarmer]

I’m building a shed at our mountain cabin from lumber off the sawmill.

Also lucky I have a relationship with the pressure treater a few miles away so the treated lumber came off the mill as well.

Very nice. Are those maple planks for the floor?

Tulip poplar, side wood from a timber frame I sawed over the winter for a guy.

That’s a great wood to work with. My dad framed all of his ceiling joists in tulip poplar.
You’re lucky to have a pressure kiln nearby that will
take small orders. What kind of rates do they charge?

Was up this weekend and got some work done on the shed. Got the roof on and most of the siding done.



Also ran some saws around the yard.

Pretty much done with the shed, just need to bring up some pressure treated 4/4 for the ramp.

Shed got broken in over the weekend. Last time I was up the T190 blew a lift cylinder seal. So the work bench got put to use rebuilding the cylinder. Successful trip when you have/bring all the right tools to get a job like that done.

Are you going to paint it, or just let it weather naturally? I need to learn to build simple barns. I have a really nice metal garage with poured concrete floor, but can't take full advantage of it with two tractors and implements filling it up.

My wife is in charge of painting. It is getting a solid color stain to match the cabin colors when it gets done.

Just do a pole barn equipment shed. I am sure there are YouTube videos. I watched a couple on building a shed on skids and looked at some at the local shed place.

How big are you thinking?

Probably the same size as my garage, about 20x25. It doesn't even have to have sides and doors, just a roof to keep weather and sun off the tractors and implements. At my dad's old farm he would buy premade trusses, put them up on poles, and add metal roofing.

Look around for folks with storm damaged grain bins.

This was just up the hard road a few days back. They get smacked all the time.

Take the decent pieces and build.......................
