Building Melissa's Woodshed

[@carsonwashburn1]

You two make a great team! Love when you guys do projects together

[@havespurswillclimb]

Enjoyed the video. Workers! Hard Workers. Working together. 🎶Happy Together🎶

[@williamrehberg2546]

Now that's a fine looking wood shed!

[@Clothis64]

Melissa was still on the wrong side of the slope 😁 Good job guys ! 👍

[@redbudfarm]

Nice looking shed you got there. That should hold plenty of wood, the tractor, the loader etc...

[@6ftS]

the "last post"... as a life long military musician I have to admit that made me grin just degree below a giggle... great build guys! well done to ya'll

[@SteampunkSteve]

Nice wood shed. I can see a splitting area in the middle and wood storage in the rest. Fill one end for next winter and be filling the other for the following year

[@metaspencer]

You read our minds

[@gregbrown9271]

Nice wood shed Spencer and you got a very good helper 👍

[@mrknittle532]

It's good to see that your ground crew/foreman showed up! I'm always amazed at how easy you two make everything look. I'm envious, because I just don't have that skill or vision. I have to follow plans and patterns to a tee, and even then, I lose attention to detail. You are definitely royalty and master of all trades. And Melissa always manages to be stylish in everything she does. Oh, and, Melissa's woodshed turned out perfectly.

[@metaspencer]

I never know which way is up on a plan so just build from scratch while scratching my head. :) but you have the ULTIMATE knitting and horticulture vision!

[@lawrencehp1]

Great job. You definitely work well together. Pallets are great to store wood on as you get air-flow. Have fun.....

[@metaspencer]

That's the plans, our pallet collection will be put to use :)

[@anthonygalipo9875]

You 2 make a awesome team

[@radovanflexvidacic9410]

my brother, you did everything nicely, and I'm waiting for the project for chopping branches :)

[@rickstafford5316]

Very nice. Nice to have great wood shed.

[@ragnarocking]

That's one hell of a woodshed, Melissa and Spencer! Now you just have to chop down all the trees on earth to fill it 🤣

[@metaspencer]

That’s in process

[@nhmountains5683]

You've been busy Spencer. That'll hold a lot of firewood. How are the chestnuts? Did the late frost hit them hard? Mine lost their leave and are putting out new ones. Really fast growth now.

[@metaspencer]

Yeah ours lost leaves in the frost, too, but are now thriving! Finally got some rain, too, so they seem pretty happy in their "boy in the bubble" tree tubes

[@rlsaxton1]

Awesome job, and Melissa is definitely a keeper!

[@ddalton692]

👍 Brilliant You two make a great team!

[@indoorroadkill3369]

Excellent woodshed.... can do all your splitting inside out of the sun.... but I'm really looking forward to the next installment on the box barn!

[@metaspencer]

Inside splitting! Now that’s a concept… next vid on the barn is in the works

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

Nice work guys, it looks great!!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Great job both of you. Thanks for sharing

[@robertspear9134]

Eagerly awaited woodshed build, epic, must see t.v.. thanks for sharing. Great content.

[@joefunk2137]

Nice work to both of you!

[@daveallen924]

Nice wood shed!

[@charlestuozzo4747]

I'm very impressed with the tin perfectly lining up with the end of the roof. I never get that luck, but I'm a hack when it comes to carpentry.

[@metaspencer]

Haha gotta do a little advance math sometimes haha

[@debbieretzlaff2912]

What a team❣️

[@JonStratford1234]

Nice firewood shed! Those angled supports make it all post-and-beamy.

[@metaspencer]

Thanks buddy! It’s been working out

[@lorenmeyer5290]

AWESOME job you guy's!

[@pigeonwaltz]

Love this. Super cool!

[@fasstimes9122]

Once that shop gets rolling. You'll use more wood im sure. Great video keep em coming

[@metaspencer]

yeah you said it ... now that the shop is heating we've noticed that we're burning a bit more wood

[@fasstimes9122]

How cold do your winters get? We get -30°C to -40°C for a few week on winter here in CANADA

[@metaspencer]

I'm shivering just thinking about -30!@@fasstimes9122 We get down around zero Fahrenheit once or twice a winter, but temps are usually in the 20s and 30s

[@latherrinserepeat8615]

You might want to change your channel name to “how we did it”. Love the witty banter. Cheers

[@metaspencer]

I absolutely should! I mean WE absolutely should

[@CatCrazyFamily]

Excellent thanks for sharing ! ❤

[@metaspencer]

thanks for checking it out! we've been loving that shed (as have our cats) :)

[@Ninefingers398]

Lol Melissa is a hoot, I am so glad she survived that decapitation

[@metaspencer]

haha ... I keep thinking she exaggerated the risks on that job, but she was probably right

[@OffGridAussiePrepper]

We should call u the "Dynamic Duo"

[@davidc977]

👍

[@synago_scribe]

😃

[@sporranheid]

It's not a real job if it doesn't carry the danger of death, or at least serious maiming, 🙄😜 Gotta love the power of triangulation, or "flare", as it shall hereafter be known. 🤣 Love Melissa's attitude and unconventional markings. "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"! 🤣 👍 Thanks for letting us hang out with you and showing us how you did it. That is a fine looking woodshed!

[@metaspencer]

:) Thanks for the appreciation! haha .... good times out there for sure

[@philliphall5198]

How high does the wind get up there ??? In West Texas it’s hard to keep any thing standing

[@metaspencer]

we don't get too many high winds, but we did build this with the prevailing winds in mind

[@wesleycurrry8906]

how big is the woodshed looks on the video 40foot

[@metaspencer]

yeah about 40' by 12' ... full and ready to go for this winter :)

[@christopherhaak9824]

That woodshed is massively overbuilt, which I guess is fine, but a huge waste of material and labor. With 8' OC posts, you can just use a rafter at each post and then purlins to span to each rafter. no issue at all here with supporting the roof. Setting the posts in concrete is not needed, you can just pack them in with class five gravel and it will drain better in the end also. Very much a project in search of a need, because for a woodshed it is massive. I have an 8 ' x 24' and it holds three years worth of wood in it in MN.

[@metaspencer]

Cool ideas man … my last one didn’t have concrete and worked well

[@philliphall5198]

Seems it might last over 140 years easily 😊😊well done ✅

[@frxa2739]

boy you are lucky to have softer soil, in the catskill is all stone rocks and boulders. 😄

[@metaspencer]

Boulders! Wow!!

[@gucu]

My favourite Not How Tos... Enjoy the day when you get there.

[@Czibs111]

Why no dimensions given?

[@metaspencer]

40' long and 14' deep

[@janetdupree6353]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@greggmcclelland8430]

All your supporting beams have only nails holding them to the columns. Your rafters are not supported properly. The snow load will cause the nails to fail. I would beef up beam nails with lag bolts. Maybe even put another board under the beam and nail it in.

[@metaspencer]

We secured all the supporting beams with load bearing lag bolts -- no worries there. Rafters are hurricane tied + toe nailed. Thanks for the keen eye!

[@upyourarsenal2104]

I've been waiting for the follow up since the wood burner video, now that Malissa has become the new foreman I can definitely see some new practises being implemented.....keep up the great work......😂

[@metaspencer]

She go that project WHIPPED into shape!

[@OffGridAussiePrepper]

I wanna see the biggest block splitter machine to make 6 or 8 splits at the same time..... pls dont let me down cos i wanna see the shed full in my lifetime :)

[@metaspencer]

I'll be out there with my little hatchet ... might take a while!

[@OffGridAussiePrepper]

@@metaspencer hahahahaha

[@zsmizzy]

It’s in 360p

[@metaspencer]

The video just dropped so KZbins is still processing the high-res version

[@zsmizzy]

Thanks love your videos

[@joepesta3893]

When you started, it looks cold up there.

[@metaspencer]

We were freezing one day and hot the next :)

[@arnejahr3531]

Now fill it an keep it full

[@philliphall5198]

Where is the big white dogs running and jumping around ???😊

[@metaspencer]

they've been stuck in the yard most days

[@justinsigmon1878]

I would pay you to come build 1 of those at my house 100%

[@metaspencer]

Okay, we're heading over! haha ... I'm really surprised at how BIG the dang thing is and at how quickly it went up. I want 2 or 3 more of them now :)

[@justinsigmon1878]

@@metaspencer no kidding. That sucker turned out awesome. Be perfect for equipment.

[@metaspencer]

@@justinsigmon1878 yeah for equipment I'd widen the bays on the front side and make the whole thing a bit deeper.

[@justinsigmon1878]

@metaspencer very true. Shed here at the house has 14' bays and 14' deep. Perfect size for mower trailer and vehicle's.

[@blueglide1]

I did the same thing,burn one year wood shed the next.

[@metaspencer]

Glad to hear we're not alone!

[@philliphall5198]

Lumber prices must be low up there 😊

[@metaspencer]

not low but they have been coming down a bit

[@BroChacho88]

Was it cheaper to make your posts like this than just buying 6x6?

[@metaspencer]

We've done these laminated posted a few times and they are close to the same price, only we find it hard to get good quality 6x6 posts that don't warp and twist. These laminated posted just work out for us in being nice and straight. Plus, on some other buildings we've used them to notch supporting members right into the post easily
