The Wood Shed

This summer we decided to bite the bullet so to speak and build a woodshed.  We live in the frozen north, and consequently, we could spend a fortune on heating our house in the winter, like, to the tune of $4,000, and no, I'm not joking or stretching the truth.  Instead, we burn wood.  We have a nice system worked out, but we wanted to have a nicer way of splitting, stacking, storing, and drying our wood.  Husband came up with this MONSTER (see below)!  It can hold, at full capacity, 12 cords of split wood.  It is three stalls wide, so, we can store and dry lots of wood.  Additionally, it has a nice little fort area in the top for the boys who are allowed to climb up, #1 and #2.

All the boys (well three of them!) helped up build it, gotta start young!  We are nearly done with splitting all the wood we had for this summer.  Between the 5 cord delivery in May, and the 3 cords we cleared for the shed and around the property, we had a lot to get done.  We are this close!
