This shed is almost completely made of salvaged building material.
Some really old lumber that anyone else would take to the dump.
But with a coat of red barn paint (falu red) it looks like new and will probably last another 50 years.
The floors are finished, or rather the floor and platform are finished.
The platform is for sitting, resting and sleeping. And for storing garden tools under.
After cleaning out the gothic greenhouse construction site, this old tarp fits perfectly for keeping boots out of the clay and roots smothered in the clay.
The open air museum at Härnosand had many more old buildings. Some of the traditional storage sheds were very interesting.
These are all on poles or stilts designed to keep food safe from rodents, bears and other animals, as well as rain and snow.
They are very functional and at the same time have a rustic beauty.
Not really a storm, more like a hard breeze, but it sure is howling. It started blowing and raining yesterday, it continued all night, and now it’s getting colder and snowing. I have a bit of a cold, so I’ve hardly been outside at all these last two days.
A few days ago I got the tarps up enclosing the back porch workshop.
I did have to go out this morning and check everything that could get blown around, and everything was OK. And to replenish the bird food.
