2004 Shed Articles

Here are summaries and links to all of my 2004 articles on storage and garden sheds:

Least Favorite Tool in the Shed

Of all the tools in my storage shed, the leaf blower is my least favorite. It's stinky, noisy, and underpowered to boot. Now I don't hate it, to be sure, I just don't like it. There are three reasons I...

Post and Beam Shed

Storage Shed Clean Up, Revisted

Storage Shed Cleanup

We cleared a whole lot of junk out of the storage shed last week. We flattened all of the seats in the battlecruiser, threw down a plastic tarp and emptied all kinds of stuff out of the shed. "Dump Day"...

Extreme Garden Shed Makeover

I'm planning an extreme garden shed makeover. And it's gunna be a good one, lemmetellya. I am tired of my garden shed's T-111 siding and conventional shingle roof. Some time next month, the little backyard barn will be spruced up...

Another Wacky Garden Shed Story

I was in the midst of putting up a shelf in the bar for the Tiki mugs, when I had to run out to the garden shed to look for some nails. Like all good geek daddies, I keep my...

Shed Plan

Backyard Shed News

Storage Shed

My storage shed is bursting at the seams. For not only is it a storage shed, it's a greenhouse, too. Unfortunately, it's just become packed to the walls with junk. Thankfully, I didn't have to store the lawn fertilizer for...

Green House Shed

In the years since I built my greenhouse garden shed, I've never looked back. Building the greenhouse portion was relatively easy. With a plan designed for this express purpose, plexiglass merely replaces the plywood for the south facing saltbox roof....

Steel Building

A reader wrote in and asked what I thought of steel buildings used as barns. While I love real wood post and beam, more than anything, I can understand the justification for building with steel. Steel buildings go up fast...

Shed Storage

Before you build a shed or buy a shed, think about how much storage space you'll need. No matter how much storage space you think you'll need in your shed, you'll likely need more. Hidden storage proved to be one...

Tool Shed Story

Storage in the Garden Shed

Garden Shed

Today marks the start of a new page on my website: the garden shed log. It's a log, not a blog, because I haven't set up MovableType for it (just yet). But there is a snappy little shed cam ......

Storage Sheds


I've been writing about storage sheds and backyard barns since 1999, when I first posted my little d-i-y shed & barn website. At first, I wanted to simply list all of the shed plans I could find on the web....
