I mill much of my own lumber. I air dry it and then do the final drying to 6 - 8% MC in a dehumidifiation kiln I built in my basement shop. All good, except after the wood is dry you need a place to store it. Having no other space my shop filled up with lumber to the point i could barely move. Something had to give. So after considering every alternative I could think of I decided to build a shed.
I settled on 14 x 18' with 8' walls. This drawing shows the walls being 10' tall, but they ended up at 8'.
I did all the framing myself, including making the trusses.
After I got all the sheathing on a friend shingled the roof for me. I was just too scared to do it myself. I did put up the roof sheathing myself, and alone, but I had a ledger board screwed to the bottom edge as a safety stop in case I slid.
House wrap, windows, vinyl siding and soffits, and trim work all followed.
Then I made simple racks with adjustable shelfs for storing my wood. There is plenty of room for more racks, as needed.
The last project was building the doors. I finished installing the first set yesterday.
I designed the shed to house my drier, too, but I haven't yet decided whether to install it or build a solar drier instead. I have all Winter to consider which option is best.
After I got all the excess wood out of my shop I was able to reconfigure the layout a little so that I now have two benches with clear space all around so that I can work on two projects at once. Such luxury I haven't had for 15 years. I still have some more reorganization to do, but my shop is a pleasure to work in again.
