Starting the Wood Shed - Setting posts and laying foundation logs

  • We set the posts in the ground for our wood shed build. This will be the perimeter of the shed and quicker half of this building project. Long logs are the foundation for the other half which will support our new sawmill platform as well as a room dedicated for drying out and storing the lumber we mill.
    This multi purpose building should come together fairly quickly as long as we keep working and don't take too many days off to go fishing!

    How long will untreated posts last there? Here in South Carolina 1-1/2, 2 years at most. If they're treated 10 - 15. Y'all have come a long way . Living the dream.

    • @remotelifealaska
      @remotelifealaska  Před 2 dny +8

      We are not sure how long the posts will last in the ground. We are frozen most of the year and we are in the gravel that drains any water quickly. The thought is once the bottoms start to rot we cut the bottoms off and slide in pavers.

    Ahem, you need a chipping bar. Digging those holes with that narrow spade is not a good idea. Plus maybe a post hole digger to remove the loosened soil/rock from the chipping bar.

  • @ZXX984

    The one question I have is should you be using pressure treated wood versus logs? Just thinking logs would rot faster. I’d be concerned bugs/ termites could be present. Otherwise a job progressing very well. 😊

      In our area the frost line is 8ft deep.
      Once on the gravel it doesn’t move much, maybe an inch at the very most.
      On top of the clay though it will move close to a foot in some spots but is usually less than 6 inches.
