Log Cabin Living

Foreword: Once upon a time... I lived in a log cabin on a mountaintop overlooking a peaceful valley. Abe Lincoln never had it so good. That time has passed, but the memories persist. A lucky few of you readers will remember the cabin I reveal below. Many others had experiences at a house vacation home in the mountains or at the shore, and have similar memories of house get-togethers.

This essay is intended to revive and edge those memories as well as to reveal what it was like to live in a genuine log cabin. Readers who are too young to have these experiences can find in these lines some background to the house folklore they may have heard over the years. So, read on. I hope you enjoy it and if you have recollections and experiences of your own, then by all means post an e-comment. It will add your offering to this essay.

33 Inch Wide French Door Refrigerators

Origins

It was the time of World War Ii and I think the war was a factor in my parents' decision to buy the cabin. My immediate house consisted of parents Adlai and Elizabeth Magee and seven children (two sons were lost). I was the youngest. Our home was in Chevy Chase, Md. Dad owned a radio store in colse to Bethesda. In the early 1940s our house had made numerous weekend visits to Braddock Heights, Md., a society of boarding houses and a locally popular amusement park. Wwii meant restrictions on travel and that improved company at the limited resort. Although Braddock was in decline compared to earlier decades, patronage was good adequate to keep local businesses going. The park had several rides and slides, a fine merry-go-round, a roller skating rink and a limited train to ride. A colse to swimming pool completed the amusements available. A trolley brought day visitors from colse to Frederick, five miles east. A small store doubled as a post office. Jim Crow was alive and kicking in those days. I clearly remember a sign at the entrance to the park that included the admonition, "This park is for use by white gentiles and their servants only." I recall staying at several dissimilar boarding houses, one of which was the Coblentz Mountain House. The motion to us was that the altitude was a blessing for me (I was prone to bronchitis) and for my Father (also troubled by respiratory problems). Alas, Braddock Heights moderately deteriorated over the succeeding years. (Braddock Heights was named after Gen. Braddock, a form in the French and Indian War. He led a force of soldiers west along route 40, an early national highway, marching over Braddock mountain, as it came to be known.)

The Cabin

It was about 1942 when my parents decided to buy a vacation home near Braddock mountain. I was seven. The spot they excellent was pretty remote. If you travel north along the crest of Braddock mountain you will be driving on Ridge road. A limited over a mile up the road they bought a small, two-room, tin-roofed log cabin on three acres. The lot had a west view of Middletown valley. The Potomac river gap near Harper's Ferry, W.Va. Could be seen from a angle of the lot. There was only a scattering of houses along the road in those days. The pavement ended a hundred yards before the cabin, turning into a dirt road. Farther along the dirt road on the west side were the Clipp farm and then a small dairy farm, where, in later years, I was sent from time-to-time to buy fresh milk. I suppose my parents (particularly my Father) saw the possible that the cabin and it's location had. To a seven-year-old it was the start of a great adventure. Dad rather grandly named the place "Catoctin Oaks," for the four gorgeous oak trees on the lot, and the Catoctin mountain chain which included Braddock. This was in the Blue Ridge mountains. I can't shed any light on who built the cabin and when. I believe my parents bought it from the Malones, who lived just south on Ridge road and who owned many acres in the area.

The cabin itself was as bare and rustic as you can imagine. No electricity, no indoor plumbing (not even an out-house), only an outside well with a hand pump for (non-drinking) water. Heat was ready from a handsome stone fireplace. The interior had a large, open area with a sleep loft above the north side. And an ample contribute of snake skins. There was an attached shed on the valley side, used for cooking. The description of the inside of the cabin may sound customary to those of you who have watched the Tv show, "Little House on the Prairie." If you recall the interior of the Tv house, the layout was very much the same as the cabin: a large room on one side, a central fireplace, and sleeping areas behind the fireplace (parents below, girls above on a loft). (My wife Thelma suggested I title this essay, "Little House on the Mountain." I took a pass on that idea.)

The lack of facilities meant two things: First, the cabin could only be used for day trips. (The woods provided an open-air out-house.) Second, Dad soon began what became an almost endless series of modifications and improvements to the cabin. But the main feature of the place was the construction. Yes, it was a real, honest-to-goodness log cabin, its walls made of pine logs with mortar-filled cracks. The attached photograph shows the cabin about 1950; this is a photograph of an oil painting by my sister Elizabeth. Today the painting hangs above the fireplace in my home in Gettysburg. As soon as practicable, a well was drilled, an electric line was run in, and the "valley room," kitchen, basement and bathroom were added. All this took time, of course. Meanwhile, we would "rough it" on visits.

Here's an piquant anecdote: building the Valley Room required a good bit of excavation. It so happened that Camp Detrick in Frederick housed German prisoners-of-war; the prisoners were hired out to local citizens. (I think the prisoners were captured U-boat crews.) So for a time we had a crew of young, blond workers plus an armed guard. I observed that the prisoners took extra observation of my teen-aged sisters whenever the girls would show up. (Of course, there were no incidents.) This memory of the prisoners tells me that the cabin's major modifications were completed by the end of Wwii.

Eventually, the cabin became favorable for extended visits.

Cabin life

When the seasons permitted, we (my parents and I) would make the one- hour drive to spend a weekend at the cabin. In summer, stays would enlarge to weeks, with Dad coming up for the weekend. Our house weren't the only ones to use the cabin. Aunt Corona and Uncle Frank often borrowed it for parties with their friends, mostly from St. Ann's parish in Nw Washington. In fact, I'm sure mountain living gave Aunt Corona and Aunt Mary the idea to buy a lot next door and build a relinquishment home on Ridge road (now Tom and Jane Magee's home).

From the late '40s on, my parents hosted house get-togethers regularly. The cabin soon became the focus for an extended family. Hardly a Sunday went by without house or visitors stopping by and being served cocktails and dinner by my kind parents. Marilyn and Jack Barrett with their house were regular visitors Uncle Paul Magee would roar down the driveway in his Plymouth and before long he and his brother would be trading good-natured barbs. His sons, Paul, Jr., Jim and Bernard came by, families in tow. The Renehan cousins visited from Baltimore every summer; these were two ladies who always greeted me with big hugs and kisses, much to my embarrassment. I referred to them as the Kissing Cousins. "Otherwise" Burdett, the cabin's building contractor, would occasionally show up with his family. (He earned his nickname from his frequent use of "otherwise".) The Daly house and the Klaks from Bethesda were occasional visitors, as were other friends and relatives, many from Montgomery county.

Many of these visits were unannounced but mum always seemed to be able to stretch the food ready and make everyone happy. The best times were those summer days when we would have an outdoor feast -- barbecued spare ribs (I was the designated cook at the Bbq pit), a bushel of steamed crabs, or fried chicken dinners were the favorites. After a softball game in the "front yard" we would have a round of cocktails while sitting on the stone patio, then line up at the buffet table for potato salad, sliced tomatoes, baked beans, buttered hot dog rolls, etc. Every house visit was made a extra occasion by my parents, but there were two times each year that everyone looked forward to. Suzanne and Frank Maddox and their children returned from their home for a visit that always became a house get-together. And every August, Uncle Will and Aunt Celeste Hennessy and their four daughters would visit from Wilmington, Del., for a few days bringing a car full of treats and delicacies. Cool or rainy weather meant the feast was moved indoors. There were many days that we watched the sun setting over South mountain while sitting in the valley room.

All of these visits continued for years. Dad sold the Tv/radio store in Bethesda c1951 and we moved to the cabin to live year-round soon after. The grandchildren of my parents must all have their own memories of visits to the cabin. Their amount grew over the years to, by my count, twenty-two in all. Despite the large number, Granny and Paw-Paw were able to make each one of them feel special. One single treat for visiting grandchildren was for Granny to send them up the hill to pick ripe blueberries which she would make into blueberry pancakes. That's an example of what my mum was like.

Dad was a extra man. Two of his strongest characteristics were his integrity and his sense of humor. I'll give an example of each trait. I used to tag along with Dad on his local company trips. One time, during Wwii, Dad made a delivery of several cartons of radio tubes under a government compact he had bid on. I learned that he won the bid because his price was at-cost. I asked him why he didn't contain some money for profit and he said simply, that this was his offering to the war effort. One clever prank that he pulled on a visiting friend complicated some target convention behind the cabin. I watched him as he loaded a.22 nine-shot revolver with two dissimilar cartridges -- one, a usual.22 slug, and the other a "rat shot," a limited shotgun shell, filled with tiny pellets. He loaded the gun with the cartridges in alternate chambers and we went out to join the waiting sucker - I mean "guest" - to fire off a few rounds. To perfect the charade, Dad fixed a small piece of metal hanging on a string as our target. Let me point out that at ten paces it would be well difficult to hit a two inch wide target with a revolver. But with rat shot it would be almost impossible to miss. So they took turns firing, the guest just missing every shot, and Dad causing the hanging target to swing every time. I'm sure that friend of Dad's went away with the impression that Dad was the best shot this side of Buffalo Bill. There is one thing I haven't forgiven my Father for. When he was living in St. Louis many years before, an old chef gave Dad a formula for Bbq sauce but he made him promise not to give it to anyone else. Well, Dad took that formula to the grave rather than break his word. That's too bad because I sure could use it to improve my Bbqs.

I have my own memories of cabin life. I particularly enjoyed exploring the woods below the cabin. A telescope gave me a way of exploring the sky, and also to tell time by the clock in the white-spired Lutheran church in Middletown, three miles distant. I slept by a window facing west. On a clear night, I could well see stars set over South mountain. I knew that was a extra caress even then. And, yes, the sound of raindrops falling on a tin roof does lull you to sleep.

Closing

The improvements my parents made ultimately covered up the logs, inside and out. When Dad and mum died in 1977, we sold the cabin to a new owner who remodeled it into a two-story house, no longer recognizable as a cabin. But the cabin, despite all its memories and charm, was only a buildings of pine logs. If life at the cabin was extra it wasn't due to a rustic home on a Maryland mountain top, but to what was inside, at the heart of the cabin, Adlai and Elizabeth Magee.

productive Techniques For Eliminating coarse House Mice

There's an old saying in business. "Build a best mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door." While this adage holds true when it comes to products and services that the group wants to buy, it doesn't necessarily mean that we need best mouse traps for trapping real mice, because the hidden isn't so much in the trap you use as in the techniques employed. Beyond that, traps are not the whole answer. There are other measures you can take to keep your place mouse free.

Mouse Habits and Life Cycle

33 Inch Wide French Door Refrigerators

Control begins with comprehension your target species. The coarse House Mouse, Mus, musculus, infests homes and businesses throughout North America, causing millions of dollars in damage annually. This species thrives in human busy structures where food, water, security and nesting materials are effortlessly available. Mice prefer to remain and forage within 10 feet of their nests (up to 30 feet when necessary) and their movements are not just horizontal. They will trip vertically as well. They can infest any part of a home or industrial structure. Mice defecate and urinate wherever they go. Their droppings can include several disease organisms, including bacteria that cause Salmonella. (And in the case of the Deer Mouse, Hanta Virus, but this is for other article.) For this hypothesize they are a group and private condition concern.

Description

The adult house mouse is gray or brown, with small eyes and relatively large ears, weighing almost ½ to 1 ounce. Its over-all length, including its 3-4 inch tail, is 5.5 to 7.5 inches. In any given year the female will have five to ten litters, each consisting of five to six young. Gestation is 19 to 21 days, with the young maturing in 6 to 10 weeks. The typical house mouse will live 9 to 12 months. Under ideal conditions, unchecked by predators, disease and deaths caused by other factors, one pair, has the potential of giving rise to a habitancy of almost 1 million individuals, in only 12 months! If you don't believe it, do the math yourself.

Prevention

Prevention falls into three categories: Exclusion, elimination of food sources and discharge of harborage.

Exclusion:

Any time of year, but especially in the fall, as temperatures begin to drop, mice will try to gain entry into homes and other buildings. Construction owners should thoroughly eye structures to ensure that there are no openings of 1/4 inch or larger as these are easy entry points for these rodents. Check doors and windows. Be sure they seal tightly. Replace defective thresholds and sweeps. Check walls where wires or pipes enter the structure, calk and seal gaps. eye all attic, crawl space and carport vent screens to ensure that they are tight and have no holes larger than 1/4 inch. Also check crawl space doors for a tight seal. Have a look at the areas where perpendicular roofs come together. There are often gaps in these areas that will need to be closed. Be sure that all rooftop vents are properly screened.

Elimination of Food Sources:

Be sure that potential outdoor food sources are eliminated or cleaned up. Pet food should never be left out over night. Fallen tree fruits should be cleaned up daily. Keep garbage receptacles tightly closed. Indoors, be sure that food, including pet food, is properly stored in tightly fitting packaging or in a refrigerator or freezer. Food should never be left out over night and food residues should be cleaned from all surfaces. It is best to have a metal indoor trash container, with a tightly fitting lid.

Removal of Harborage:

Harborage discharge is a vital step in reducing the potential for mouse invasion into any structure. Construction debris, piles of brush and anything else that provides cover or security for mice must all be removed. Trim vines and thick ground cover back away from the building.

Baiting With Toxic Baits

The normal rule is to bait outdoor and trap indoors. With indoor baiting the animals are likely to die in hidden and inaccessible areas of the buildings and originate an unpleasant odor. If you must use baits inside, make sure they are placed in locations that children and pets cannot get to them. There are mouse bait stations on the shop that hold baits inside them, but just to be safe it is still suggest that you place these out of reach of children and pets.

If you have a large habitancy of mice outdoors and wish to reduce the chances of the entering your home or business, you may wish to use baits to lower their numbers. In this situation most pest control experts very strongly suggest using tamper-resistant rodent bait stations that can be anchored down, with solid block baits fixed on spindles or bars, firmly locked into the station, so pets and children can't pick them up and shake to bait out. To be safe, it is placing the stations in areas where children and pets won't get to them, but the mice will is recommended. Place the stations in such a way that the entry holes are closest to a hard surface where mice are likely to feel their way around.

Trapping (The adored recipe of Mouse Control)

The adored recipe of controlling mouse populations is trapping. This is true for a integrate of reasons. One is that you know immediately what your success rate is. The other is that the dead are nothing else but found and removed, before any odor can develop.

There are a lot of traps on the shop these days but the old fashioned, snap trap is still the simplest and best. And mass trapping is the best technique, especially with heavy to severe infestations.

The rule of thumb for how many traps you use is generally twice as many traps as you think there are mice. Don't be stingy. The more traps, the more chances you have for success.

Use the most traps in the areas of highest activity. These areas can be identified by the large numbers of droppings. They are ordinarily near quarterly nesting and feeding sites. Traps should also be placed in the active run areas where mice ordinarily travel.

Mice have poor vision and use surfaces, such as walls, to find their way around their environment. Place traps perpendicular to these surfaces. Orient them so that the bait pedestal is nearest to the wall, since this is most likely where the mouse will be travelling and be most apt to find the bait. It also takes advantage of the mouse being in the target area as the bail snaps (toward the surface). Place 3 or more traps next to one other so mice can't just jump over them.

Mice are generally attractive about changes in their environments and will explore them almost immediately. This gives you the advantage when you first place the traps and gives you supplementary advantages when you move them around. Most experts suggest varying the placement of traps at weekly intervals, within the active areas, to keep the mice interested. You may also wish to leave the traps unbaited and unset for a few days after a week or two, then begin using them again. This can be helpful if the mice have narrowly escaped being caught and have become trap shy.

Contrary to the popular notion, mice aren't nothing else but very fond of cheese. They do like dried fruits, nuts and will, sometimes, go for meat. Raisins and Craisins are a good choice, because they are attractive to mice and are easy to skewer with the bait holder. They hold pretty firmly to the pedestal, production them more difficult to remove, thus increasing the chances that the trap will be triggered. It is sometimes helpful to smear a little peanut butter on the bait to growth its attractiveness. Mice are also attracted to nesting materials so cotton balls or fabrics may also work as bait. Don't be afraid to mix and match all of these baits to see what works best in your situation.

If, after following these steps, you still have a problem with mice try calling a expert to help in locating supplementary entrance points, identifying more areas of operation and conducting a expert trapping program. The technician will have more knowledge, a wide range of taste and be best adequate to accomplish the task successfully.

Refrigerator Buying Guide - Tips You Need To Know When Buying A New Refrigerator

Buying a new refrigerator can be a daunting experience. Reading straight through all the refrigerator reviews, refrigerator ratings and consumer recommendations can be mind boggling. After all, there are so many separate models to pick from in addition to all the separate brands, styles, even colors. So where do you start?

Well, the easiest place to begin is by asking yourself the following questions:

33 Inch Wide French Door Refrigerators

1) How Much Space Do You Need?: The space inside a refrigerator is expressed in Cubic Feet. Considering most people don't understand what a cubic foot represents, think of it this way. You need about Ten Cubic Feet of interior storage capacity per 2 people.

This 10 cubic feet is for freezer space as well as refrigerator space. So, outline about 7 cubic feet of refrigerator space and 3 cubic feet of freezer space per 2 people.

Granted, even though that's the rule of thumb, you have to consider your definite space needs such as:
How big is your family? - If you have a house of four, outline you'll need at least a 20.0 cubic foot fridge. Are you a Vegetarian? - If you are a vegetarian, you won't need as much freezer space or internal meat drawers. You'll want as much refrigerator space as you can handle to be sure you have the space for your fresh fruits and vegetables. How will your house grow, or shrink? - Are your kids in college and about to flee the nest? Do you have a baby on the way or elderly parents captivating in? All of these factors are things to consider when development a refrigerator purchase. consider that most refrigerators last about 10 years, so factor in how your house will be growing or shrinking over that time period so that you don't have to keep buying new refrigerators.

2) What Kind of Refrigerator Will Fit into Your Kitchen?: It sounds silly, but there have been a number of people that have purchased a new refrigerator only to get it home and find out that the new fridge doesn't fit into their existing kitchen. So, take measurements before you go refrigerator shopping.

Factor in not only where the fridge will be sitting, but also how far out the door will swing. After all, you don't want to get your new fridge home and then find out you can't open it!

Keep in mind that counter depth refrigerators are very popular, but they often lack the storage capacity that most people need. So, consider this when you're shopping. Counter depth by the way means that the front face of the refrigerator will sit flush with the existing counter top, rather than sticking out. It looks much nicer, but it's not always the right option for everybody.

3) Color Choices: There's good and bad news with refrigerator colors -- the good news is there aren't too many to pick from -- and you guessed it, that's also the bad news.

Refrigerators typically come in white, black, stainless steel, bisque (or beige) and a stainless steel alternative called, satina. Satina is normally economy than stainless and easier to maintain, but it doesn't always (depending on the brand) look as nice.

The days of avocado green and lemon yellow are gone for the moment.

So, what do you do if you need a separate color? Well, many refrigerators have attachable panels that affix to the face of the refrigerator that allows you to make it any color your desire. Most people like to blend their refrigerator into their existing cabinetry by getting panels that match the wood work. Ge Monogram, Kenmore Elite and Kitchenaid offer this option and all have performed well in a number of online refrigerator reviews.

4) Type of Refrigerator: The type of refrigerators available are:
Side by Side - Where the freezer and refrigerator are next to each other Top Freezer - Where the freezer is mounted on the top of the refrigerator Bottom Freezer -- There the freezer is mounted on the lowest of the refrigerator French Door Refrigerator -- Which is also referred to as a lowest freezer because it has two split (side by side) doors on the front with a pull out drawer freezer on the bottom. Built In Refrigerator -- Can be any of the above styles, but the refrigerator is built into the existing cabinetry and private away with the stylized color panels mentioned above. Compact Refrigerator -- Also called a "dorm refrigerator", the contract refrigerator is excellent for game rooms, spare rooms, garages or house areas.

5) Best Refrigerator Brands: We're always reviewing separate models of refrigerators by a wide variety of manufacturers. In all of the refrigerator reviews that we've done, only a handful of manufacturers rise to the tops as leaders -- so these are the brands to consider and brands to avoid:

General Electric: Ge, Ge profile and Ge Monogram are all excellent choices and rate very well with consumers. The Ge Aurora brand (sold exclusively at The Home Depot) was above average, but did Not rate as well as the Ge or Ge Profile brands.

Consider:

Amana: Amana has consistently been rated by consumer Reports as one of the best performing refrigerator brands. Our testing proves the same as well. Amana is one to consider.

Kenmore: Sears has had its ups and downs with its many inside brands, but Kenmore consistently has led the pack with high quality, durable and affordable refrigerators. The Kenmore Elite was especially outstanding.

Whirlpool: Whirlpool has been development high potential products for decades. They are now the parent brand of Amana, Maytag and JennAir. Whirlpool is top notch.

Lg: Although they lack a bit in customer service, the Lg French Door Refrigerators are some of the most affordable and captivating units on the market. Additionally, Lg business models for other reknown brands such as Kenmore and Ge among others.

Samsung: Samsung has some of the most innovative features on the market. For the price, it's hard to beat Samsung in both potential and list of features. right on one to consider.

We hope this helps you as you journey out into the world of refrigerator shopping.

construction a Shed - A Beginner's Guide

If this is your first time construction a shed, you may feel a slight intimidated. There are hundreds of different types, designs, and sizes of sheds. Some are very conventional in their look, while others are somewhat unique. There are several questions you need to ask yourself prior to starting your construction project. The first query to ask is what is the former purpose of my shed? Will it only be used for storage, or is it a specialized construction to meet a specific need? If it is a warehouse shed, what kind of things will I be storing? This could help decide the construction of the floor, the thickness of the walls, and whether it needs to be insulated or not. Do I want a concrete floor or a wooden one? Will my shed need windows, and will I need to run power to the building? Will I be storing lawn equipment or perishable goods? Do I want shelving or cabinets inside the shed? Where would my shed best fit in the space I have, and does it need to blend with other buildings nearby? Are there any construction ordinances that would keep me from having the shed I want? Sheds larger than a specified quadrate footage often times wish a construction permit. If your home is part of a Home Owners relationship (Hoa), you should considered gawk your covenants, codes, and restrictions (Cc&Rs). Your construction may need to be approved by the Hoa board, prior to starting your project. Some things they may consider are aesthetics, along with but not slight to color, size, roofing material, and landscaping surrounding the shed. When deciding on where you want to build your shed, consider its function. Will you need a large door or a duplicate door or extra passage to the door, along with a sidewalk or stepping stones? Will you be provocative things in and out of the warehouse area? How heavy are these items, and will you need to roll them or carry them when provocative them? What kind of tools will I need in order to build a shed? How much time to I have to devote to this project?

Types of sheds:

The most common shed is a warehouse shed. However, there are a collection of warehouse sheds. Here are just a few: tool sheds, toy sheds, wood warehouse sheds, motorcycle sheds, household warehouse sheds, organery sheds, lawn sheds, grain sheds, a blend warehouse shed and playhouse.

Sizes of sheds:

Sheds come in a wide collection of sizes. One of the smallest size is a 4 x 4. One of the more favorite size sheds is an 8 x 10, which has 80 quadrate feet of warehouse space. Larger sheds can be as big as 20 x 30 or larger. The size of your shed may depend on the available area in which you have to build. This can be a challenge in smaller yards or in yards that have severe slopes. It may be that you need a total of 100 quadrate feet of flooring, but you have a long and narrow area to build on. Rather than construction a 10 x 10 building, you may have to go with an 8 x 16 shed. Also due to available space, you may have an unusual 7 x 4 or an 8 X 5 shed.

Roof styles and pitch:

There are three main styles of shed roofs. The type that carries the name "shed roof" probably isn't the most popular, although it is less complicated, and easier to build, than the other two. This type of roof only has one side that slopes, normally from the front side down to the back side. Occasionally, it will slope from one side to the other. The hipped roof has four sides of the roof all sloping down, with eves all the way around the bottom side. The gable style roof has a more open look. With this style of roof, you will see the shape of an upside down V. Other types of roofs are the gambrel, or barn style, a Dutch hip roof, a flat roof, and a mansard or French style roof.

The pitch of the roof describes how steep it is. The pitch of a roof is measured in vertical rise, in relation to the horizontal span. This is also known as the slope in geometry. In the United States, slope is typically shown in inches per foot of horizontal span. So if a roof rises 4 inches for each foot of surface, the pitch would be a "4:12 pitch". If you live in an area of the country that receives a lot of snow, you may want to increase the pitch of your roof, so the snow will slide off the roof more easily. A flat roof in that environment could potentially collapse, if sufficient snow was to gain on it.

Roofing materials:

Materials for a shed roof can be as simple as a roll of asphalt roofing. Occasionally, you will see clay or tile shingles, but due to their high cost, those aren't used very often. Your roof can also be covered with a extra corrugated metal. Wood shake shingles were at one time very popular, but due to fire danger, have been outlawed in many parts of the country, and cannot be used in new construction. The most common type of shingle used on a shed is the composition, or asphalt shingle. There are different styles, and different thicknesses of asphalt shingles. Based on their composition, these shingles are ordinarily rated by years of warranty. You can buy shingles with a 20 year warranty, 30 year warranty, or even higher.

When buying shingles, they are purchased by the square. There are three bundles of asphalt shingles in a square. Each bundle contains twenty-seven shingles. A quadrate of shingles will typically cover 100 quadrate foot of roof. So, when measuring the total quadrate feet of roofing, you can divide that by 100, and know about how many squares of shingles you will need. A modern green approach may be to also apply solar panels, if the roof is facing South East to South West.

Siding materials:

The siding you put on your shed, in expanding to determining the final look of the building, will also decide how well it holds up in safe bet parts of the country, and weather can be a big determining factor. There is a fiber cement siding that holds up absolutely well. It can break more absolutely when cutting, but is molded to look just like real wood. Paint holds to it absolutely well and it doesn't need painted as often. Aluminum or vinyl siding also holds up well. If your house is stucco, you may choose to match your house. However, one qoute you will encounter with stucco is cracking over time. There is also a fiber board which is made up of pressed board with surface resins and adhesives pressed or molded to look wood. If this is kept sealed and painted, it holds up fairly well in most climates. Any way it may not do well in extreme cold weather. You can buy this material in a 4 x 8 foot sheet. It also comes in 16 foot lap planking 8" wide or 16 ft. X 14 in. Wide. The fiber cement can also be purchased in the above mentioned horizontal sizes.

Buying a Good Set of Shed Plans:

Once you have decided what kind of shed you want to build, and what materials you want to use, choose a good set of plans to use that will match what you have in mind. There are a lot of shed plans on the internet to choose from. Make sure you read through the plans thoroughly and considered prior to starting your project. The set of plans will probably list all the tools you will need along with, all of the materials needed. Take your list of materials with you to your local lumber business to save you from too many return trips. You should enjoy doing your own do it yourself project. When it is complete, you can feel a real sense of accomplishment. Good luck, and happy building!
