Wood shed complete

[SNOWSHOE]

The guys on the Kittatinny Mt RR have been busy getting ready for the winter.  They got the wood shed up and started loading wood into it before the winter hits.  The RR is also getting ready for their new arrival of the hartland Big John.

Nice woodshed, Snowshoe. I've been thinking about building one soon. You have inspired me!

Thanks, It was not hard to build.  The hardest part was getting the metal roof on.  The nails kept poping out so I ended up glueing the metal roof to a piece of cedar siding then glueing that to the roof frame.  I might have to play with the roof front looks a little to thick.

Hi Snowshoe

Sand the roof bits flat and put a wide trim board or corugated iron on it that hangs down 1/8" may be 3/16" lower to hide the over thick roof that should fix your major concern.

It looks real good IMHO you are capturing the backwoods feel you wanted real well.

Que banjo's.

Have you concidered a saw mill somewhere to cut all those logs into two foot loco fuel, car boards, domestic fire wood ect ect ect.

Thanks John,  Ya eventually I want to make a sawmill.  I want to create a system were the trees get cut and then they get floated down the creek by tying the logs together and someone would float it down like a flat boat.  Thats the way the logging was done on the delaware.  I want to try and creat that scene.
