A 24 x 20 shed from leftover logs and trimmings.

Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Taking a short brake from the house and working on our shed.

I decide to use some hardwood logs for our shed wall
that have been sitting outdoors for about a year.
They were cut to make a clearing and for posts and beams
for a wrap around porch on the house.
These were the left overs. I hate waste...so

These will just be nailed to the posts. You can use a post and beam and
small log assemblage this way without any need of lifting equipment.
Though they are small they are extremely heavy hardwood...oak and hickory.

Running the saw blade between the logs helps them sit closer.

This shed was thrown up in a hurry as a shelter for our small bandsaw.
But now I can take some of our left over logs and build some walls.
The logs are too small to waste time milling but are good hardwood logs for a shed wall.

Here I am putting in a simple block for a post. I use some gravel under it so that I can create
a variable height which can tighten the fit of the post I will jam in between the floor and beam

So here the post in jammed in with pressure.

I like this rustic log look to go with our strawbale house...
so much nicer than a metal shed.

The boys fix this cute old shed door.

The shed needs an adjustment to take out a little lean that occured when
the shed ran into someones tractor bucket :) So we get ready to pull the
post with a cable and drop in a diagonal log for stability.

The post in straightened (looks crooked due to lens distortion) and the diagonal is
set in place.

Using old wood trimmings from our milling for siding.
This shed is almost entirely built
from the woods we cleared except for the tin on the roof of course.
Next I will add some fire wood walls
on the back wall.
