An oak tree fell down at the end of last winter and I ended up with a lot of great firewood. I saved a few pieces for woodworking (we’ll see how those turn out), but the rest is going to heat my house. I needed a convenient place to store the firewood, and I originally was going to turn my back door cement area into a covered firewood area\u2026but Costanza and my friend Mark convinced me it was a bad idea (it would block too much light into my house). So, I designed a little firewood hutch that would go under my bathroom window.<\/p>\n

Simple roof construction, 4x4s with 2×4 roofing:<\/p>\n

3\/4″ ply on top (leftover from Burning Man — I had used the plywood as flooring for cyr wheel), and then painted\/stained to match the house (I also did all the back side, which needed it!):<\/p>\n

Then, roofed (tarpaper + shingles):<\/p>\n
