New Cottage Woodshed
John made a new wood shed for us.
He created the design himself and so it is a very simple pattern, that anyone could easily make with minimal hand tools.
He made it in two separate sections, so that we could carry it more easily, or we could move it to a different spot, in the future, if we wanted to.
It is constructed of 2×6 and 2×4 treated spruce, but you could make it out of cedar, if you do not like treated lumber. There are also some small pieces of plywood, which create gusset strength at the peak of the overhang.
The roof on the front overhanging section, is not finished yet, as we needed to get additional steel panels. John did not originally plan on an overhand, however, making this change to the design keeps the wood more protected from the blowing snow and rain, and gives us a dry place to stand when loading the wheelbarrow.
It is not good to store wood too close to the cottage because of the bugs, like termites, that the wood could have in it. We also have a tin lined wood box near our fireplace, to keep our cottage safe from insects.
