A log shed, which is cheaper to make yourself. And time to stock up on firewood. My street fire boxes for 2 and 4 cubic meters.
I must say right away that the woodcutter cost me 75,000 rubles. Two days of work for two people.
On the site, of course, there was already a woodshed. In terms of age, the structure, made of slabs and oak logs, served as storage for firewood, but every year it deteriorated, began to collapse and threatened to fall on apple trees, and the shed was almost 100 years old. Old gray decayed barn entourage attractiveness of the site where it stands wonderful gazebo and a bathhouse is under construction, definitely did not add it. There was an urgent need to build a new log house, and use the old one for wood.
How the old barn was dismantled and the remains of the firewood were dragged is a separate "song". It was even difficult to demolish this shed; it took 3 days to disassemble and transfer the remnants of the firewood so that no traces of the old firewood remained.
Unlike new home project, which we "drew" for several years, the project of the new structure was completed in an hour - we sketched a drawing on paper with a pencil and started to implement the task in the morning.
Short.
The plot was leveled. We put 8 concrete blocks around the perimeter under the base, which became the foundations of my barn.
They brought: a board of 6 meters - 3 cubic meters, a metal profile for the posts and the basis of the entire frame of the future barn. The doors were old and used.
The size of the barn turned out to be 5.3 X 2.65 m.
I don’t think I need to write and upload photos of how to cook a frame and nail a board. I'd rather show that I still "stuck" to the shed.
I already have a workbench on the old part of the site, but it's not very convenient to run around there for every little thing. Something similar suggested itself in a new place. The solution was simple - to attach the boards to the lumberjack itself, and use the support of the shed itself as the legs of the future workbench. We released in advance, i.e. they did not cut the timber that was the basis for the shed floor. The photo shows what happened. I marked with an arrow.
And, of course, the construction of the shed and workbench did not end there.
I was always worried about whether there was enough wood for the winter or not. In the 4 years since I moved to live in the village, I have not bothered to measure how much firewood goes away during the winter. This year, I determined that about 10-12 cubic meters of birch are spent on the grill and tandoor, for heating the house and others.
I decided, just in case, to make a couple of racks from a 50X30 metal-profile pipe for storing firewood. One rack holds 4 cubes, the other 2 cubes.
Now I am calm, the house will always be warm, and there is more than enough firewood for frying a barbecue and roasting a leg of lamb in a tandoor.
The new woodcutter easily "ate" 20 cubic meters in his bowels. When they built a firewood, they calculated the amount of storage for firewood, and so that there was space for storage tool, a small table for work: sharpening chainsaw chains, a place for preparing any tool to work.
I connected electricity to the new barn.
Is it possible to buy such beauty for 75,000 rubles.
In general, I am very pleased with the firewood, and in fact, with the new workplace and storage space.
