Sun’s out and the wind has dropped so Im braving the outdoors again.

Going to put up a wood shed closer to the house for next season’s wood. Hopefully my building merchant will drop off my timber early in the day as Ive only a little bit of ground work to do before I need it.

It’ll go here:

7:45am

youll need to move that wheelbarrow first .

Posted 9 years ago

Plenty of time for a proper builders strength cup of monkey first

Posted 9 years ago

I’m going for a ride, I expect this to be built upon my return.

Posted 9 years ago

got to drop Jr off at skool first. Then coffee.
Then a little bit of teeth sucking.
Some tool sorting.
Might start on site by 10am 🙂

Posted 9 years ago

I set out in lovely clear skies 40 minutes ago, it’s now overcast and dull, so I’d say its a no go. Best you stay inside and procrastinate on here instead!

…aye, you’ll get a good hours work in before down tools for a pre-lunch Ginsters and flick through the Sun (this must take place in the cab of a van). 🙂

make it a long ride nick – Ive just realised Ive got to bake some cupcakes for the PTA Easter fair too… finding nails in fairy cakes is a no-no isnt it?

Is this start of shed wars? Power play between Mcmoonter, Footflaps and Stoner could leave the country north of Watford peppered with structures full of combustable material. Are they preparing for when Scotland shuts off the oil pipeline?
Is Mcmoonter going to become rich beyond his wildest dreams when he starts to smuggle logs south?
Or given the substantial nature of Footflaps bunker is he just preparing a haven from the ensuing fire storm when the tinder dry stores ignite in the blistering heat of summer?

blistering heat of summer?

I was with you ’till this point

Posted 9 years ago

Post locations prep’d. Cant do anything more now until delivery turns up with post spikes 🙁 Time for a brew.

Cupcakes came out well though 🙂
Wimmin! This is proper multitasking!

Posted 9 years ago

Brilliant, there can never be too many woodpile / shed building threads on here.

Adds to favorites.

Posted 9 years ago

I need cake now 😥

Posted 9 years ago

Woohoo, delivery arrived.

Going to go and get the spikes in then I have to ice the cakes.

Posted 9 years ago

Post Spikes !!!???

What sort of half arsed construction project is this?

We want them set 16′ down in molten lead foundations!

Posted 9 years ago

sod the molten lead, mcmoonter just sticks them in the ground (I still have not got to the bottom of how he fixes them upright)

He has stern words with them about it being better to be the firewood shed rather than the actual firewood.

Posted 9 years ago

The jedi shed builder will be along soon to sort this one out..(puts kettle on and awaits Mcmoonters arrival)

Once they’re fastened to everything else, there’ll be lots of nice triangles and nothing’ll move?

Posted 9 years ago

Yes, the post spikes are a major dissapointment. I can only assume that Stoner is going for an ‘Olde Worlde’ style log shed with all the timber at odd angles.

Posted 9 years ago

Well that’s obvious, but what happens before hand. A key part of engineering is designing the installation, not just the finished product.
Anyway we have the solution:

He has stern words with them about it being better to be the firewood shed rather than the actual firewood.

wwaswas has obviously been McMoonter school to learn the ways of the wise one.

And what stops his sheds sinking where leg meets earth? Or does he ‘crete some pads upon which the shed is stood?

What are the chances Stoner eats a couple of cakes with his afternoon cuppa break 😀

good point, McMoonter to the thread! Explain yourself! Its bloody shed voodoo I tell thee.

Kettle’s on. Just about to test a cake. Cant go round poisoning the local kids now.

Oh ye of little faith 🙄

Purlins next.

Posted 9 years ago

Is this in scotland? It looks nearly dark already?

Posted 9 years ago

Dunno about almost dark, but it looks squint.

Posted 9 years ago

tis a bit gloomy out.
tis not squint.
tis single pitch roof.

What are the two ipads for on the existing shed roof?

I don’t think we can judge him until we’ve seen the size of his hammer

Honey, I’m home!

If anyone asks you to go cycling in the Chilterns…Run, run as fast as you can and don’t look back.

I’m going to my happy place now.

His build photos always show shed-loads of extra random bits of wood tacked on during constructions, which I assume are temporary positioning braces to back up the stern words.

Last picture was an hour ago, where are these purlins?

I’d always wondered what real addiction was, then the wood threads started on here. Now I find myself turning to the wood based threads first every time I log in and find many more addicts waiting for more news and the latest photos from fellow woodists across the STW world. Is there one of those 12 point plans like there is at AA?

My name is Ian and I like wood….

Reads thread with interest. Approves very much 🙂

The speed at which these Stoner and McMoonter structures go up is just embarrassing!

Posted 9 years ago

I have to be honest here, that icing is pretty shoddy.
