$100 Firewood Shed Complete Build - Keep Wood DRY

Friends, come join us on our Homestead as we complete projects on a budget. You know, resources are limited and sometime instead of the perfect thing, you can only make what is possible. Watch as we take material destined for trash and waste and build something useful for our family. Keeping warm with a wood stove is Useful right?
We use a variety of tools we already own. The cheap gas auger off of eBay has proven to be very useful around the property and I am so happy with the performance it has provided.
You know we cut plenty of wood if you have been around and today we break out all the of ‪@RIDGID_Tools‬ #ridgidtools that I have been an owner of for over 15 years. Recently we have added the brushless chainsaw and the blower and find them very useful in all of our projects.
Our young boys are always very much a part of the process and always want to get in there and work alongside us as we accomplish our tasks. I assure you, they have been taught safety practices and always have us nearby should an issue arise. Kids can do amazing things and with a little bit of #instructions and #teaching, they can accomplish many things. I assure you that if they were doing it with us, they would be attempting to do crazy things on their own. #diy is a big deal around our #homestead. #powertools and #chainsaw work is very much a part of it.
Nearly all the lumber you see in this video was milled with you ‪@FrontierSawmills‬ OS-27. We desperately need to get it set back up. We are hopefully coming very close to that happening and hope to accomplish that soon.
Thank you again for being here and please consider subscribing if you haven't already.

A memory your kids will remember and reminisce about long after you're gone. A memory you'll sit and reminisce about while theyre living their adulthood.

The new wood shed is great, but doing the project with the entire family is awesome! You're a great dad to your boys! That's way more important than any old chainsaw (ported or not). 🙂

I have ringing in my ears...I suggest everyone using power tools use some form of hearing protection. Heck, sell the laser level in a yard sale and buy a lifetime supply of earplugs. To replace the laser level, get one of those tiny levels that hangs on the middle of the string. It adds an element of nature to your build.

@oakiewoodsman 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing. I have both of the items you suggest and I ought to make use of them more often. Thanks for watching!

@jasonsejkora4578 4 ай бұрын

Great work. I was watching the whole time brain storming how i could build mine with a follow-on project which would be either greenhouse or solar kiln. Then, all the details with that. Congrats on the build, i hope it lasts foe years to come.

@oakiewoodsman 4 ай бұрын

Thank you Jason! It sure has proven to be a great structure for my firewood. I would do a couple things a little different. the 2x6 ledger may be a little on the light the side for this much wood jammed in there. They developed a slight bow. I am going to remedy that by placing some kind of support at the 4ft mark. It may even be a rock or something....... I dont know yet. I am planning on building another with the same dimensions because I am in need of it. I may try to do a "better" job on it next one, but we will see! Thank you again and I appreciate you taking the time to comment and am thankful that you found the video worth watching and useful! Have a good one!

Well, we are going to build a second one as well so it may end up closer. What I was thinking was I could bring some rounds nearby and dump em, split and stack them right there rather do it all and then move the split wood. I am learning how to make a process here buddy!

@gattonpc 5 ай бұрын

For $100 it is practical and you can stuck a good chunk of wood in there. Nice job. One thing tho`. If you want to keep it for a long time.. just put some stone blocks (not cement) under it.. to sustain it. so.. if the structural poles rot.. you will be able to fix it easier...because it will still stay on the blocks under it. Just saying. I have somethng similar.. but mine is staying on stone blocks for almost 15 years now.. and the wood is still in a good condition.. No poles in the ground on mine.

@oakiewoodsman 5 ай бұрын

That is an excellent idea! I sure appreciate you bringing that up and I was actually going to block the center of each 8ft span. When fully loaded, the 2x6s do get a tad saggy hahaha.... Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

I am curious how much preservation time before rot sets in that the burning saves you when anchoring your posts straight into the ground rather than on top of cement footing?

@oakiewoodsman 4 ай бұрын

Not sure! Old farmers had some preservation tricks regarding this. Great question for sure. I am kinda curious to see what happens myself.
