Woodshed Day 1

3 hrs in and I have the frame and bottom platform assembled. Working in the barn but it is still 94. Roof rafters are for Saturday early. Then I will get her moved outside to finish. Siding bracing to go yet today

Well I stepped back and looked and it just didn’t look right. Sure enough 1.5 in out at the top. Loosened the screws and drew it in with a wratchet strap. Much better. Wife pulled the plug on today for dinner with friends. B1700 gets to live outside tonight.

Finally cooled down a bit to get the mounting braces for the side panels on and the roof rafters cut and installed. Picked up cedar fence pickets that I will cut to size to use for the sides. Lightweight and bug resistant. I need to do a test lift with the B3200 before I add more weight. On tap this weekend is to build the pad, move it and install the roof and sides. If I can lift it now, I’ll do the sides in the barn and get a coat of stain on it to seal it up

I like it.
I got lazy and had the local Armish make me two. Then I ordered a third their supposed to be making soon.
But nice job. That should hold alot.

Thanks. All the pressure treated is culled so 75% off. The most expensive thing will be the roof panels. It is 4’ deep and 7’ wide so 3 rows of 16” cut firewood. I’ll grab the remaining parts after work Friday and hopefully get it done by Sunday. Heat is slowing me down a bit

Day 4. Got the bucket forks on the B3200 and confirmed it can lift with all the side panels stacked. Side panels attached. Stopping for the day as storms roll in. Tomorrow I finish up the side trim and the roof and hopefully set it outside.
