Are you looking for a simple solution to your firewood storage problems? Have you had to deal with wet unseasoned wood that doesn t want to burn? In this article you are going to learn how having some firewood storage shed plans can be just the solution you have been wanting.
Before I get into the details, let me tell you how I ended up with a firewood storage shed in my yard. After buying my first home that had a fireplace I thought this is such a cool deal and couldn t wait to have that first fire. However, I had no clue on where to get firewood, how to store it once I got it or even how to build a fire with the wood. So for the first few years in the house we never even used the fireplace.
I have always been a do it yourself kind of person. I just have that creative gene I guess. I wanted to share with everyone why I believe do it yourself shed plans will work in any circumstance when considering building a shed.
If any of you are like me, then you have accumulated a lot of junk of the past several years. We all run out of space at some point or another. I recently ran out of room to store all my stuff, so I decided to look into do it yourself shed plans.
I was not sure how to even begin this woodworking project, but my creative gene took over and led me straight to an online site where I purchased my first set of shed plans. It didn t take me long to figure out what a time and money savings this would be for me.
I believe that anyone no matter what skill level could benefit from a good set of do it yourself shed plans, and here is how.
* Will save time by not guessing what size lumber to cut and use, and will detail what to build first etc.
* Will save money by giving you material lists for all the lumber sizes and hardware. This will alleviate any excess and waste caused by guessing and estimating.
I can not stress how important a solid foundation for any type of work you do is. A good set of do it yourself shed plans is just the foundation that I am talking about. As long as you follow the instructions and you file for all the appropriate building permits etc. there is no reason this project should not be a win for anyone.
Finally one day when I was chatting with a neighbor he showed me how he stored his firewood and gave me the name of someone to buy wood from. He told me he had built the shed himself and showed me the plans. The plans I wasn t too interested in but I did call the firewood guy right away to purchase my first cord of wood.
I m sure you already know what happened. Yep, I got my wood, stacked it up next to my garage and waited for the cooler weather to show up. But before it got cool enough for a fire it rained and rained. So when I was finally ready to have that roaring fire in the fireplace the wood wasn t ready. It was wet and a mess. I learned my lesson quickly and got my own set of firewood storage shed plans. I was very eager to get started on my building project, no more wet wood for me.
The plans were quite simple, just three walls and a roof. The floor was only some cinder blocks covered with plastic sheathing to help keep the moisture from the ground from getting into the wood. I built my shed in a location that was convenient to the house so I wouldn t have to trudge through bad weather to get my wood for the fires. The wife liked this part too, especially if she wanted to start a fire and I wasn t home.
So if you have a fireplace and haven t been using it, let me recommend you get some firewood storage shed plans and build a home for your firewood.
