keifer2k3 Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 While I was taking pics for a TT post I thought I'd take these. I built the shed last year. Needs paint I know. This is the home base of operations for me!!
Nick Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 That is a nice shed. I also like the way the flowers are placed around it. It's to bad it's not a my house. LOL:O What is that old farm tool in the same pic as the wood stove? My neighbor has one and we can't figure out what it is.
keifer2k3 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Posted September 2, 2007 That was my dads' born 1905. He said you hook a harness to you and the plow and then to a bull or ox. In short a 19th century garden tractor with a plow kinda like a moldboard I think.
wilm169 Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Nick that is what they call a high wheel garden cultivator, also some have a small molboard mounted to them. You push them by hand and work well in small places, you can still buy them new.
perry Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 thats a nice shop/shed you built. i betcha that log burner gets it nice and toasty in there^
MPH Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Nice shed and yard all around it. Best thing to do with that one wheel tool is hang it on the wall as I see no swith on it, or even a pull rope for that matter:):)
carbuff713 Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 what size is your shed, how many tractors does it hold, does it have a loft area? nice pics thanks for sharing.
johnmonkey Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Real nice design on the shed, clean lines. jh
comet66 Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Yep, that's a high wheel garden cultivator. You hook a harness to the wife and let her pull it while you push it into the ground, and stroll along behind. If you push hard enough you can almost bring her to a stop, but then you have to crack the whip. It's almost as much fun as plowing with a tractor.:DB) That is a very nice building!
keifer2k3 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Posted September 3, 2007 It's 16'X 16' and it does have a loft accessible by the step ladder. I have my snow cab up there. The loft comes in real handy. I can put four tractors in it and still move around but its pretty cramped with four. I only have three right now. A buddy uses the forth at his rental property. The loft is 9'X 14'. You can see the main header in pic four. It has two white bags of squirrel corn hanging from it. Its due for cleaning and organizing soon, before winter anyhow. Thanks guys.
Nubian Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 What size and brand of wood stove is that? How big is that pipe? I have one half that size made by All Nighter.
keifer2k3 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Posted September 3, 2007 Hi Eddy,I don't know off hand. I'll check when I'm outside later and let you know. What I do know, it was a freebie!! A buddy switched to burning corn and I got this:D
JoeJ Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Very nice Keith. ;)Although a bit un-cluttered for my tastes:D,,,I can't find anything in neatnesssm02......
keifer2k3 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Posted September 3, 2007 The stove was made by "Hutch Manufacturing Inc." London TN and the pipe is 8". Thanks for all the nice comments everyone!! 8D8D
ZippoVarga Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Keith, Nothing like a nice hot burning stove with cast iron tea pots to humidify the air. I have a 110 gallon double barrel stove and it heats my 35 x 25 "shed" nicely. I bet that thing runs you out with a full open damper! Excellent looking shed by the way. Mine was built in 1900 with no nails holding the structural timbers. All dowel pinned together and still holding strong! Carry on!
