Greenwood Primitive Timber Framed Shed Build

It was time to replace my temporary generator shelter so I thought I would use it as an experiment to learn some building techniques that I can apply to other shelters and buildings that I will need to build around the homestead. I wanted to try using wood from the red alder that grows everywhere on our place to see how it holds up. Local lore tells me that alder is a very soft hard wood that decomposes quickly and won't hold up well to the elements. I've also learned that much of Venice Italy is built on alder so we will just have to see how this experiment goes. I used this build as a chance to explore different timber framing joints and get used to measuring and cutting them. It is tricky to work with round wood that isn't always straight or true but I feel that I have learned a lot and the next project will go much better.

I looked into a list of materials to use for the roof and I ended up using this clear pvc roof panel. I am glad that I was able to work with it to learn that it isn't worth using on a bigger project. It is nice to have good light transmission in that area but otherwise I will keep my eyes open for cedar shingles next time.
