March 29, 2004New Shed PlansI'm looking for a new set of shed plans. After picking up a cart for the trusty old John Deere STX 38, there's no room left in my shed. I'm actually thinking of building two little structures: one for the excess lawn and garden stuff and one for the recycling and trash. There's a big pile of railroad ties behind the vegetable garden, just begging to be turned into something. I'm going to ask some of my barn buddies what they think ... I'd love to experiment with the timbers, and build a post and beam frame. The big question is whether I'll be able to find any shed plans to match the ideas I have in my head. Those big timbers are overkill for a little structure, no doubt. Of course, I'll want everything to match, more or less. The project(s) should give me the chance to experiment with those board and batten siding and cedar shake roof ideas. I have big plans for that little cart, too. The factory black powder coat is just begging for some flames ... I'm thinking that John Deere green flames with yellow tips would look nice. :) And when I'm done with that, I'll move onto the next project: casting a new hood for the STX 38, complete with a gnarly hood scoop ...
