Our kiln shed was scheduled to be delivered today. The weather forecast predicted a slight chance of snow flurries. We were so afraid our delivery would be delayed. Let's face it, here in North Carolina, the mere mention of a snow flake and business comes to a halt.
But that was not the case. Shortly after 7 am the truck arrived.
Two men, in 27 degree weather, got the job done by 9 am!
Jeff and I researched our options for a kiln shed. We could have built a stick frame shed with a metal roof, but the materials alone were more expensive than purchasing a steel frame carport and having it installed. It would have taken days for us to get a shed built... this was up in 2 hours. Later, as money allows, we will put side walls up on a portion of the shed.
Let the kiln building begin!!!!!
Yay to you all, what a quick answer to a need. I bet you're glad that that step is done!
ReplyDeleteone step at a time :)
ReplyDeleteThis will be just fine
ReplyDeletebrilliant...this is giving me ideas! what height is needed between the top of the kiln and the roof?
ReplyDeleteThe posts are 6' the center ridge is abut 7'. Jeff will cut a hole in the roof for the chimney. It's completely metal so there is no concern about clearance.
DeleteYay! Congratulations! I'm hoping for a few snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteWe always built ours, never thought about getting an open carport.
ReplyDeleteBuilding materials are so expensive right now. I think that this was at least $500 less and we only had to watch.
Deletewow, that is wonderful and less maintenance than wood and safer with fire, good choice
ReplyDeleteExciting! Great that you have the option of sides if and when you decide you need them.
ReplyDeleteToday the shed! Tomorrow the kiln!
