Great video, a message from an old guy, get a winch use ropes and cables ect. To lift. I used to muscle things when I was young, I regret it now. Save your back.
Great video and a real good wood shed. You are so lucky to have a wife to help you with what you two are building. Please be more careful of her because she is so willing. Her under that big log with no tag rope ( a rope around the top of the post then over the horizontal 2x10 tied to your post you are going to lift ) to catch the big log if it would fall and her under it could put her in a wheelchair or worse. You are the big guy so protect her. I like how you chose to use a cement pad and not dig the post hole and explain why because of the water... I will be following your builds so keep up the good work.
It never fails. Anytime you paper a building or do a roof the weather has to change, the wind has to pick up. Its like Mother Nature has a sadistic sense of humor. Nice video. GIving me some good ideas for a project I'm planning.
Nice job I’ll admit you had me worried a few times. Enjoyed watching you and your wife work as a team. My wife and I have 48 years of marriage coming up and she has been my team mate in all that I do now at 66 years young. I’m a retired trim carpenter so doing things in the rough along with my OCD can be a challenge lol. Blessings to you and your wife
You did a good job. I especially like that it looks level and square. Wife did her part as well. Building roughly the same structure with spruce. About same diameter logs. Like to see how others build their tractor sheds. Thanks for doing video.
I respect your work ethic. Even with a tractor available to do the work you still used man power whenever you could. Working on a similar structure for the goats now. Thanks for some inspiration.
Great job, Kirk. You had me a bit worried when the bride was trying to hold the end of the log on the ladder but she did super! I remember when I used to have that strength. Now I must depend on the tractor or something that can carry a heavy load. Nicely done. See you on the next one. Best to you and the bride. Don
@@backinthewoods2022 That's funny, sorry Kirk, but you have a couple more decades before you can punch the "starting to get older" card but it will creep up on you fast. Just keep your body healthy. Looking forward to see your future projects. Okay, be well my friend. Enjoy your weekend and be safe up there.
That’s pretty nice, I plan on building one like this, I have a ton of logs piled up already. I don’t have a tractor with front end loader so will need to figure out something else.
Been thinking of building something like this for our firewood. With the price of lumber using the wood on our property would save a ton of money. Nice build.
I was impressed seeing someone else actually man handle some logs themselves! Can tell you obviously lift or have some type of gym history and i agree, you have to keep moving. Lifting heavy things - using the right technique as you seem to do, will keep those lumbars and errectors strong enough so that if you ever do kink your back, you arent out of businesses for good like some others i see
Great shed! I wish you had showed how you attached the rafters and purlins, and also the side supports (I assume mortise and tenon?) and 45s. But great work, I love the simplicity and structural strength.
Timber screws were used through out I just curved the ends of the bracing logs and fit them against the uprights and put a couple screws angled in. Two years later everything good
That is an awesome build, U a stout som-beach! lol, If i were you i would put some 2" styro. sheets in between the roof logs to keep it from sweating on ye wood/equip.BTW you got a dang good helper there good buddy,,, lol
I’m doing the same thing with making them posts for my structure. Did you use some sort of clear stain or preserve to make them look nicer and last longer ? Thanks
I have alot of dry ash killed by ash borers on the land so I'm thinking of doing something like this but maybe a bit taller.. say 10ft front and 7 rear posts to give me some attic storage in the future. How is the design holding up did the pads work out? I was thinking of using concrete pier blocks to give the wood some height off the ground
Everything is holding up great finally started loading it with wood the last few weeks. The head room works well as far as loading and I have pallets underneath that take up a little space too. I’m able to keep some lumbar and a extension ladder stored above the top side braces.
I placed them above ground because I was building near my pond and I hit water about a a foot and a half down for my pond cabin build so I thought it best to place these post above ground. Time will tell if I did the right thing,
Pallet forks for your Kubota would work great for this! I haul trees with mine all the time! Save your back and your wife! I'm gonna have to make one of these sheds! Looks awesome! Nicely done, Sir!
I have both a grapple and forks for the grapple it there was very little space to get the tractor in and it would have destroyed the yard so we had to do some hard work. Thanks for watching
That’s a cool build. How has it held up to winds? We would like to do something like this. Sometimes we get some gnarly winds, would be afraid of it blowing down our mountain.
I want to do the same thing, for my tractor implements. How did you fasten the 45s in the rafters did you just use spikes or timber screws? Or did you do additional joinery?
Looks like I'm about a year late to the party, but really enjoyed the video. (I'll admit to cringing a little for you and the Big Boss's safety hoisting big logs from ladders.) My question: How did you attach the side rails to the corner posts?
I just used log stews and “toe” screwed them not the strongest but got the job done might change it up later but just wanted to get it done thanks for watching 👍
Great build for not a lot of money but would like to suggest a couple of mobile home tie down anchors in the ground because if you ever get a good wind underneath that thing it's going to fly like a kite
Love this shed for wood! Can you give more info on log dimensions you use and size of shed. Do you use a certain diameter log for corner post and rafters? Also how you are putting the logs into the ground (in general).
I used around 10” diameter for the posts and larger beams and did not put these in the ground on this particular build just set them on concrete pads. The shed is 12’ by 10’ and the rafters are smaller around 6” hope this helps
@@backinthewoods2022 thank you! You have inspired us to try and build a woodshed this way. On a side note, we died laughing when you came across that “man eater”. Your comments were hilarious!
I has not been anchored I am not worried about wind I don’t believe anything short of a tornado would effect it. It has no sides so I figure it just blows right through, no problems a year later. Thanks for watching
Man, I respect the willingness to work so hard but I gotta admit I had to laugh as soon as I saw the tractor. The whole time I was thinking you had no option other than man power. Thank God for the tractor huh!
I have a very small yard behind the camera and the tractor barely fits. Rey hard to maneuver and a chance I could run into my cabin. Also I would destroy the yard and have to redo it so I opted for physical labor.
My notes on this DIY: bulk up my body from 160 to 240. Hit the gym and do dead lifts of 400lbs. Learn to be a lumberjack. Assemble wood shed. Got it. :-)
I hope I get there too👍 I try to only do the things I think I can handle and am careful in the way I lift stuff. I do have the tractor for the difficult stuff.
It’s my yard in the middle of the woods that I don’t want to mess up. Im not struggling I’m working. Some times I like to do physical labor instead of figuring out how I can get out of it. It’s good for the body.
@@backinthewoods2022 i hear you, i did timber and stone work for a living for thirty years and my body isn't so happy these days , i go for the easiest way every time now, i like the way you are overbuilding with large logs i'm of the same mindset, and it looks better. i'm not trying to bust your chops .
Your going to contaminate your ground water with the oil bro all you need to do is seal them by burning them a foot up...and No that's not good for the Back I know being a builder and 5 spinal fusions and you had a tractor the whole time 😎 👍🤙...Good job I would definitely anchor it to the ground I've seen storm's do crazy things
Didn’t want to tear up my yard or get stuck and potentially back into my cabin it being a very tight spot. It’s just a bit of oil most of it soaking into the wood we pump the stuff out of the ground maybe I’m wrong but I don’t believe it’s a major hazard. It’s been a few years now unless there a tornado which will blow everything away this thing ain’t moving all the sides are open to let the wind through.
I hear you but I would have destroyed the little yard and then would have had to fix that. I try to only do what I think I can handle and it is good for the body to push it I believe. Stop moving start dying.
not to mention only 1 wife lol -- i love the attempt to get it done. But those rickidy step ladders aren't strong enough. I don't even use them for simple crap with my crews. Too unreliable. They're lucky it didn't fall on her. She would've crushed (lol, how many times I've done the same shite to my wife & she wants to kill me the whole time hahahahaha)
Been living offgrid for over a year and have the perfect thing to annoy all the flying insects I made a small rocket stove and use wood to create a nice smoke barrier. Doesn't take that much and makes a huge difference
@@backinthewoods2022 I noticed that, and you did a great job. I just don't understand why you wouldn't choose to save your back by using some very basic hand tools to make the job easier, safer, and quicker.
@@oms1972 The only problem log was the high horizontal log the others weren’t bad. I didn’t use my tractor right away because it was a very tight area that my wife spent a lot of time growing grass. I didn’t want to tear it up or hit my cabin. In the end I had to use it though. The other tools you mentioned would have took too much prep time for an impatient person such as myself. Many people have commented on me putting my wife and myself endanger of injury. I would never do anything I thought my wife couldn’t handle and I know my limits. We have done many projects like this in the past eight or so years without injury.
@@backinthewoods2022 I just finished building a 400 square foot treehouse 20 feet off the ground in Vermont. The main support beams that I built out of 24 foot PT 2x12's weighed approx 1,000 lbs each so I didn't have a choice but to use a block and tackle to lift them up 20 ft off the ground. And I'm almost 70 years old and weigh 150 lbs soaking wet so I'm not nearly as strong as you are. I'm planning to build a log Lean-to on our property this year, I'll give you a call when I'm ready to go. Again, nice job on your project, looks great!

Absolutely love watching the progress being made up there. Great wood shed Kirk !
Thanks man👍
Your wife earned some serious homestead-cred in this video! Nice work!
She’s a tough one👍
Nice work bro, good on you both for giving it a go. I had a mean workout just watching you guys lifting those log beams 👍
Oh boy, the first big log over the head was a little scary. Glad to see that Kubota come in.
Awesome woodshed! That's on my build list next spring!
It never fails. Anytime you paper a building or do a roof the weather has to change, the wind has to pick up. Its like Mother Nature has a sadistic sense of humor.

It’s not as hard as I thought it would be went up pretty fast
Nice looking shed! I need to build one for hay
oiling the bottom is a great idea nice work
@Hello Morris how are you doing
Awesome. The wind around here would send it over the rainbow.
awesome job
Nice work!
Looks good man
Great job 👍👍

Hi You'all !!! YT suggested your video on my "up next" side bar, glad I came over :) I subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos :)
Thank you I will check out your as well👍
first off.... all i watched was the into so far and my first thoughts where.. "god damn this dudes a badass"
Your wife is so brave!
And her shoulders are like iron!
You can be proud!
She’s a keeper👍
Putting the beam up with your wife had me laughing. Been there, done that!
Giant logs are Gonna kill poor wifey lol. Yall put some work in that day. Looks good fella.
Looks good! Tractor turns working by yourself into 2 extra guys sometimes!
Thanks it comes in handy
Fine work.
Thanks 👍
nice work!
Good job you Viking
that’s darn nice 👍🏻
Back hurts just watching this 😮
Great video thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Nice work on that wood shed, will last a long time!
Thanks👍 did you get that buck?
Nope, I didn’t see a single deer this year
Man I threw a disc out in my back just from watching you make your mrs work like a bullock while you've got the tractor sitting there 😂😢😮
Watch the whole video and it explains why👍
you could just angle the centre logs on the sides too. looks great thought.
Looks good
Thanks👍
I need to make this in my yard
Great classy wood look and cheap metal roof look
I definitely built it for looks not function

Thanks 👍
Nice build. Doing something similar in northern Wisconsin at my property. I have mostly hard maple on my property but I've got a ton of it.
Where abouts in Wisconsin? We are a little south of Hayward.
@@backinthewoods2022 I actually live down in the south part of the state but my property is over by Mercer. North of Minocqua about 40 miles.

Awesome video helped me big time how to construct a gazebo
Take it easy on your back !😇🤠🇺🇸
Great Job! I would have used my Tractor to move and lift those Timbers. Hernia City
I’m doing the same thing with making them posts for my structure. Did you use some sort of clear stain or preserve to make them look nicer and last longer ? Thanks
I just used some old oil and rubbed down the areas that would be underground or about 2’ above I would let it soak in and then put another coat.
I have alot of dry ash killed by ash borers on the land so I'm thinking of doing something like this but maybe a bit taller.. say 10ft front and 7 rear posts to give me some attic storage in the future.

I placed them above ground because I was building near my pond and I hit water about a a foot and a half down for my pond cabin build so I thought it best to place these post above ground. Time will tell if I did the right thing,
When moving big logs like that I flip them end over end, kind of like a kicked football going through the uprights
Pallet forks for your Kubota would work great for this! I haul trees with mine all the time! Save your back and your wife!

That’s a cool build. How has it held up to winds? We would like to do something like this. Sometimes we get some gnarly winds, would be afraid of it blowing down our mountain.
No problems yet it has to weigh over 4000 lbs I would guess and were in a low lying area so Iam not worried
I want to do the same thing, for my tractor implements. How did you fasten the 45s in the rafters did you just use spikes or timber screws? Or did you do additional joinery?
Just long timber screws no problems after a few years

That was extremely dangerous....I liked it🤭

Yeah no problems many people have mentioned that I believe the sides being all open and it’s very heavy I don’t worry about it
Now your thinking use that tractor!😇🤠🇺🇸
Do you have to let the wood fry first or just cut and soak in oil
