Some ppl would think its a smallish firewood shed, but the efficiency of your burner is that you dont have to burn as much wood as most do. Leaving room for your smoker, which is tall, not squatty, a pool table, ping pong table, AND a dance floor...😂😅 Love ya'll ❤️

[@4Classie]

I don't think Al can put siding walls on the shed and then not have Gina's car parked under-it to protect from Snow-cover !

[@waterlooboy]

I think you guys missed the boat when you named Brutus! I swear when you have wood around the big guy is having a feast! When you were sawing that guy ran into the sawdust! I liked it! ❤❤

[@thisolesignguy2733]

A little tip from my Uncle Johnny. Get yourself one of those cheap 99 cent cup holders from Walmart and screw it to the post, then keep a can of wasp spray in it. Trust me, that was handiest thing he ever did for his carport. We'd go through a couple cans a year spraying wasp nests and carpenter bees.

[@seriously8522]

One of my favorite things is after I go shopping and my canisters are all filled. I get the same feeling when I watch Al fill his Tupperware animal feed containers. I love for them to be full.

[@sharonyoung8251]

My grandfather lived with us from the time I was 2 (1948). He always had a saw and mower sharpening business in our garage. I do think it’s wasteful to not sharpen your saws, however, they probably don’t make them as they did in the 50’s. Also, everyone has to choose the things they will do theirselves and the stuff they will spend money on. It’s ok. You do so many things on your property, it amazes me.

Hi Al and Gina, Yes I agree when I take my wife to our local hardware store, which is Bunning in Australia, she too has a tendency to spend. The good thing is she willing wants to go there and we do it as a couple and make an outing of it.

[@electricboatal]

I think that you have done a great job on your wood shed. As far as size I think it will be sufficient. I assume that you have other wood for backup and even if you don’t you have the correct tools to gather some more no matter how heavy the winter is. I do appreciate whenever someone builds to a higher standard. The buildings will last much longer and there will be no surprises when heavy weather conditions occur. Best Regards Al in Virginia.

[@driver1421]

It seems to me the wood Shead has "swag" because it's top heavy and doesn't have much of a foundation.

[@kaisenji]

Agreed. Over time, those poles are not going to stand up to the weather and the weight of that roof.

[@mauriceryton]

I clean all my blades to remove the build up on the teeth. It makes such a difference in how well they cut again. I use a 19 litre lid (5 gallons) to soak the blades in then a small brass brush to clean the goo off.

[@WandaleaSmithFrost]

I love watching the building process and the eye for detail you both have. Doing it right is something that most people don't worry about nowadays.

After hearing you say the boiler only burns 3 chords per year , I can now understand why you do not need a huge wood shed. I was surprised when you said you only have to empty the ashes twice a year. Shed looks awesome.

[@StoneKathryn]

Good morning Lumnah family from a cloudy pacific Northwest! Good morning viewers. It does look cleaner with that board in front. Those corner braces are massive and should stop all the sway in the woodshed. Interesting that you had to add another angle to the cut at the top. Nice job! Barn cat in front of the door to the Harvest House? It does seem very much sturdier. You had to get more animal feed. Those bins come in handy! Thanks for this video Lumnah family!

[@brucealvarez9263]

Definitely overbuilt. Braces on timber frame structures are tension/compression and as such are usually a couple of sizes smaller dimensionally than the posts and beams. For example the braces on my 160 year old house are 4" on 10" and 12" posts. OK Al, fess up, what new tools did YOU get at Lowes while Gina was "distracted"? Harbor Freight sells a tool for sharpening circular saw blades.

[@MrMopps]

Al, Check out the MicroJig BladeClean system. It is a plastic tray with a bunch of accessories that make cleaning the wood tar and sap/pitch off your blades which can extend the life of your bits and blades immensely. Use whatever solvent cleaner you want with it, but it makes maintaining saw blades super easy. As soon as you notice the carbide teeth on the blades turning tan/brown and the tool struggling, that's your sign to clean the blade. I like CMT Tools Blade and Bit solvent/cleaner.

One things for sure, when you build something you build it to last and look good. Most people would have just put a simple roof on a firewood shed but you went all out on yours. I am wondering if you need some siding on it to prevent blowing snow from drifting around your firewood.

It’s usually a good idea to over engineer (or overbuild) things, especially if they’re going to have to withstand outdoor weather conditions. The eastern coast, and particularly the New England states, can get a full gamut of weather conditions, and it’s always best to plan for the worst and appreciate the best. Besides, as Al said, the finished project looks better.
