My new Shed

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I ordered a new shed to stack lumber under. 20 x 21 x 12 foot high. They came yesterday from Virginia and had it up in 2 hours.
Now I can take the backhoe and move my bigger lumber in the shed to air dry.


 

I have in there now, Magnolia, Elm and Persimmon. These big cants can breath now and later be re-sawn.

Mine will be here Tuesday, only 8 foot tall, too much wind around these parts for taller.  Congrats and fillerup.

[WDH]

I will take the persimmon.

You will have to.  :D

That's a good looking shed.  Is it 12 feet on the side or the center?

Center

It amazes me how much it shrinks.  I cut some on the quarter a full 3" thick.  Three and a half months later, it has shrunk to 2 3/4" in thickness.  That is 1/4" in 3" and I am sure that it is not done yet.

I sawed the Persimmon 4 inches thick x wide.....8 and 10 wide.....I'm gonna just hold on to it. No plans....but just to say I have some and you don't.  smiley_nananana

I like the idea of making cants, storing under cover and milling later into boards.  Nice Shed, Post.

That's a popup car port :D :D

[fishpharmer]

You own a sawmill and bought a metal shed! :D :D :D :D :D  :D :D :D :D







Just kidding ;) ;D ;D 8)

If I don't hurry and put the extra bracing I bought on it....you may just be right Peter.  :D :D :D :D

[LaneC]

I see you got the "option" of the 45 braces at each leg. I bought one like that once and did not get them. I regretted it later.

You don't get tax on a steel car port . But if it was wood the town would tax you , right. :D :D

Now that you have cants stacked under it, couldn't you consider it used?

:D :D :D :D Think we should tell him all the cants will split down the sides and waste a lot of lumber. :D :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Welcome to the TONIGHT SHOW.....and now....HERRRRRRRRE'S Peter!  ;D

[Kingcha]

Mine arrives tomorrow, same color.    It took me a little while to get over ordering steel and not going wood.    :D

[fishfighter]

Been looking at a few like that myself for lumber storage. I really don't have time right now to build anything. Heck, for $600, they will install it. ;D

How much you saved by installing it yourself?

[Peter Drouin]

Welcome to the TONIGHT SHOW.....and now....HERRRRRRRRE'S Peter!  ;D

You put me in the same light as  Carson , Thanks, Maybe some day you will make it too.  :D :D :D :D ;D

Old show..

That persimmon, if it dries without cracking, is worth a lot of $.  Air dry it, send it to me and I'll kiln dry it, then sell it and give you 50% 25% of the proceeds

You'd be like dealing with Bret Maverick. You have an ace up your sleeve somewhere.  ;D

The great thing about the portable canopy is that it is portable.  No taxes, portable and green.   Next thing you know customers will want to buy it and you will have to become the rep.......

Side note:  Heavy duty anchors are a good way to go with these.  Don't want it to become too portable in a wind storm and end up at WDH's place.

Its already anchored. On each corner and between each pole is a 36 inch rebar driven into the ground.  ;D
Its not portable....its there and want be moved.

You're going to need a bigger boat shed.



 

[dean herring]

Got my mill shed pad built, formed and just about ready to pour. Between rain and trying to find a concrete finisher it ain't looking good. Can't find anyone that will do just the finishing. Got the pipe for the trusses Saturday. Yes I am building pipe frame but I will be using rough cut lumber for the walls. If anyone knows a really good finisher please let  me know. I would like to get it poured this week before it rains.

[4x4American]

put ad up on craigslist

[Don_Papenburg]

All you need is ,1friends ,2 beer , 3food and a big stick too screed the concrete. and a bull float too smooth it a bit .   You might want to trowel it real smooth but that is work if you have never done that .  You can broom finish it with a fine bristle floor broom .   Remember 2&3 are only released when the concrete is placed and floated and broomed or troweled.

[YellowHammer]

I will take the persimmon.

I want those benches and table he's got in the photo.....
;D

[WDH]

Man, that persimmon looks nice  .

You go Dean....get it poured and the worst is over.

[dean herring]

Absolutely, I am ready for the next step. Seems like I've  been working forever on dirt work and forming.

[dean herring]

Got it poured today,got the posts cut and part of one truss built. I was watching the finisher and it is truly an art to it. Slab is slick as  a babys bottom. The man who finished it is Edgar Jones from Monroe. He did an excellent job. I am very pleased. He said he was trying to get some young men to take up concrete work. Said he had done 10 already thics week and was way behind. They said it was to hard of work. That is sad.

Got three trusses built today, had the 4th built but somehow I guess I made a slight error in my figuring,the pitch was way off. My wife is going to put the pictures on here tomorrow.

Ok- I was waiting for water buckets to fill up for the horses in my wooden barn and had an old badminton racket in my hand to hit the wood bees. (brought it home specifically for that) I was up to about 18 at that point.  I thought about this thread and ya know... he may be onto something.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Now you B catching on Lambee.  :D

I certainly know that feeling!

[dean herring]

Got 4 corner posts up . Starting to look like a mill shed now. My neighbor cut some pine, red oak and hickory today. Got to get my log hauling trailer ready.
