I have some stupid questions after watching this video. Basically, I am in New England and want to build a small version of this shed, like maybe one 10'x10' cell, for fun, idealism, and extra storage. I have several acres of big white pine on my land that I'd like to cut down and replace with more useful trees. However, there are no gravel or dirt mounds on my land, and I'd prefer not to strip-mine virgin forest soil for the roof.
I have a little carpentry experience but no experience with round wood building or earthworks and no heavy machinery or extra people. However, I also have no deadline.
- Which, if any, book(s) do you recommend to get the nerdy details to build a wofati-like thing? Is Oehler's book still overall the most useful? I looked up Law's stuff, but he uses a bunch of funny words and Paul seems to think in the video that his stuff is above our pay grade anyway.
- Where did you get the dirt and gravel to pack the post holes? I assume just lying around Montana? They aren't included in the expenses.
- How did you obtain all the billboard material? Just call the number on the billboard and ask, or more complex?
- Is a PDF plan available? Google was not helping me and I find permies.com rather hard to search. Happy to pay for one if it exists.
- Does snow fly into the front of the shed in the winter? Or does the 5' overhang mostly prevent that?
Thanks!
