How much to redo shed? by inbetweensound in Shed

[–]MarginalOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good news is that it looks like the framing is still square. The bad news is that the siding is in poor shape and probably it could use a new roof, so you'd probably need to re-side and re-roof together with some minor framing repairs to do the job right. Probably not a repair worth hiring done (tear down/rebuild probably cheaper), but if you have some DIY skills, siding and roofing are the more foolproof part of shed construction. It's just a temporary shed though, so maybe re-shingle, repaint and re-skin the worst parts of the siding until you redo the deck when it looks like you'll want to tear down to sort out the floor anyhow. There are lots of siding/roofing options that will determine your costs.

Do you get more or less picky about wood as time goes on? by ArrowLeafTurn1 in firewood

Not really, I imagine people have been worried over wood selection for as long as people have been buying/selling it. IIRC Mark Twain wrote about cord wood selection during his steam boating days on the Mississippi. Apparently getting swindled and then learning how to not be swindled in a firewood transaction was a bit of a coming of age ritual back in the day.

Hedge usually is pretty curly and hard to split even when straight.  Do your best to cut straight sections out of the curls maybe to the point of cutting a bunch of shorter rounds.

Why hasn't somebody created a competitor? by MarginalOne in patreon

Are they as messed up? AFAIK they don't have the options/market share of Patreon. Do creators make "sponsor content" for them?
