Started the peeled log woodshed | Page 5 | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

Thanks for all of the compliments, guys. K -- didn't plan to. I think it would add strength but also a) cost money and b) make it harder to load with wood. I started stacking my dry wood at the very front of the woodshed and we are using it now. My plan is when I cut down a dead standing oak to stack that wood at the back so it has some time to dry out before we use it. I have a ton of dead standing oak and I have 5 to 6 guys coming out in November to help me cut it all up. We'll see if we can fill up the shed.

I think 4 or 5, not really sure. I had 2 cords delivered 2 years ago and then I added 1.5 cords before last winter. Then I bought a few ricks in February and March. So maybe 3, maybe 4 -- who knows. I say 5 to be on the safe side. Our cathedral roof that is located above the woodstove isn't insulated as well as it should be. I need to sit down and do the math to see how many cords the woodshed can hold. That way I know what I burn through this winter.

Yes, a propane ventless heater, 30k BTU. Works well. We put it on the lowest setting when we leave in the winter and it keeps the place ~ 50 degrees or so. We use it more so pipes don't freeze when we are gone and a quick way for my wife to warm up when she wakes up. I, however, hate using propane. I try to use it as little as possible.
