Timber to Toolshed: Turning Trees into a Remote Storage Shed"

Please NOTE:
These trees were planted on private property on a 6’x6’ grid as an oxygen-producing carbon sink. When the trees grow bigger they need more space to grow so we thin about half of them out as the years go on. If we don’t they stop growing, start to die, and are more susceptible to diseases and beetle infestation. It becomes a bush, we are making a forest with big healthy trees. By thinning a new diverse plant life and a variety of trees can grow making a better habitat for animals and a more natural forest. The remaining trees grow even bigger, produce more oxygen and hold more carbon. I’m building with the bi-product of proper woodlot management and storing the carbon in my cabin meanwhile making a healthier more diverse forest for both trees and animals. I’m trying to use solar / battery energy as much as possible and often sleep out here to reduce gas use. I'm pretty confident I’m actually having a positive impact on the environment. Very few builders of any kind can claim that.

1,2,3! oh man... reminds me of playing with my kids when they were little, little, little. We did "jumpy" off of the bad and I would catch them. My daughter had the best giggle every time. Had to stop once they got older and *cough* weighed more. Dad was starting to get hurt. I still let my daughter ride onto my shoulders until she was 5 or 6 though. After that she started to hurt my neck and had to stop :( Enjoy your family time because before you know it they are grown up. My kids are now in their 20's and miss those days long ago.

[@TrustinTimber]

Nope. Without sun or needles it won’t grow.

Was that a GB garlic press?

[@TrustinTimber]

Haha, I think that was the Frost River axe. I don't let anyone use my GB axes:)

[@supersymun]
