With our twins due any day, it seemed like the perfect time to start building a shed out along the driveway. Actually I had meant to start it earlier, but you know how it goes… We have a timber frame house, and I wanted to build a garden and woodshed in a similar style. After pricing out a kit from a local supplier, I decided that I would just design something myself and buy the lumber locally from a small sawmill. Green (undried) logs are certainly heavy, but so far the back has stood up to the work. |
I figure the entire project - 10x14 timber shed with 8 foot walls, sash windows, metal roof, barn board siding and the 6x14 wood storage area will cost me about 2200.00 dollars, which is cheaper than I could have bought an el cheapo chipboard shed from a dealer and it has been fun to do. Two weekends in and the frame is mostly up (still need to finish the porch roof for the woodshed) and hope to get the metal roof on this weekend if the twins hold off their arrival for a bit longer. |
