I have always tried to keep my junk shed out of any photos that I post on the forum. In another thread I accidentally posted a photo with the shed exposed in all of its dilapidated splendor. Now that I (figuratively speaking) let the cat out of the bag, I wonder if other forum members have junk sheds that they have hidden from the forum.

Get out your camera and let’s get them posted. Air that dirty laundry, er, shed!

Here is mine:

When I read your post I thought "junky" shed. Any shed that keeps stuff dry and out of the sun is a good shed.
Mine is 100' X 30' with 60' X 30' enclosed. It's maybe 15' tall and has four huge sliding doors. Impressive on the outside but the inside looks way worse than your shed's outside.

Heck, I could have bench pressed that whole shed with no need for that excavator. That ain't no shed.......

Here's my "Junk Shed":

This is our 15'x30' cattle loafing shed. It was the first pole barn I built from scratch - 18 years ago. Mrs. Gallus was pregnant with our son, so all the labor was performed by me and "My Two Dads" (Father and FIL).

This barn is a monument to frugality. The poles are reclaimed telephone poles (free from unofficial BIL), the siding is unused motorhome roofs from a company that went out of business (free from unofficial BIL), the main roof section is used steel corrugated industrial roof decking (free from FIL), and the small roof section (showing) is old used barn roofing (free from my shared Bull partner). I did actually have to buy some lumber. Still, it was cheap enough that the paint comprised more than 5% of the total cost.

It was supposed to be shorter, but I didn't cutoff the telephone poles before we placed them. My Dad and FIL were joking that it was gonna be so tall, it might as well be two stories. I thought about it for a couple of minutes, wrote some additional lumber requirements on a piece of 2"x6", and sent my wife off to by the lumber and decking for a loft which goes over 2/3 of the main floor. Presto - 2 story barn!

I wish I had a junk shed. I'll have to to show you my meager subsitute when I get a picture tomorrow.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

A+ theo

love yer shed.

its a "naturalized" honey bee hive built out from the inside wall and continuing to extrude on the outside surface. they've been in that side of the barn for over 40 years, and my grandmother left them alone to pollinate stuff on the place, and my dad has left them alone to continue their work.....one time i witnessed them split the hive and move a queen....it was a flying ball of bees over 2 feet long, i dont know where they ultimately took her. what you are lookin at in the pic is about 3 feet long, the dark masses on the comb layers and spots on the wall are individual honey bees.

Dave, I raised bees for quite some time and have never seen anything like that. Pretty neat. BTW, during the summer, the average colony will have 60 to 80K bees.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
