Woodshed

Here’s a picture of the woodshed/storage shed/shop/office.  It’s hard to imagine that little building performing so many different functions. 

The firewood is stored in the lean-to on the right side.  I also keep the garbage cans there (brown cardboard barrels in the foreground).  The sticks stored in the rafters over the wood are for my future walking stick projects I am planning for some winter work once the shop is completed.  The wood pile is growing, another load went in today.  All total the shed will hold about 4 or 5 cords, which will meet most of our heating needs.

The lean-to on the left side of the picture is the storage shed.  The low ceiling is a real head clunker.  I wish I had built the whole thing 2 feet taller but when we built it we used what we had on hand and what we could afford. 

The center section, with the window and doorway with no door yet is to be the shop.   It isn’t anywhere near useable yet, too many other projects taking precedent.  It used to be where we stored the wood when originally built but has been (or soon will be) promoted.  Currently the shop has boxes of apples stored on one side and the other side are the dog beds.  The dogs don’t know it yet but they are moving out before long.  I will build them a dog house in the front section of the woodshed just opposite the garbage cans.  I think it will be a lot warmer and cozier than where they are now.

My office is in the center section, back half.  It is not very big but easy to keep warm and just right for me.  I will not show any pictures of it because I am not a very good housekeeper.

It may be hard to tell from the pictures but the whole building is in the process of being painted.  There is not much left to do but the cold weather has put a stop to it.  One or two more days of warmer weather will see it done, if it doesn’t rain.

The hot tub felt wonderful last night.  The sky was clear and the milky way put on a brilliant display.  We saw 4 or 5 falling stars and multiple satellites passing over.  Half a dozen deer grazed in the field below the house although they were hard to see in the dark but we could hear them moving about.
