RE: How we Built our Stone Toolshed

in #homesteading7 years ago

Fabulous project and wonderful to have such a great supply of natural stones ~ And friends to help build it. Looks even more spacious from within.

Love the idea of a garden rooftop ~ Although I'd agree with @minismallholding and avoid ivy. Just wondering if you could use some of the roof for a solar panel on case you need electriciy nearby. 🦋

Thank you, we're quite blessed to have so many local resources.

I doubt we'd need electricity or water in the shed as it's meant as a storage space. We have solar lanterns to provide decent light if we need to use it in the dark. I'll have to build a place to live next, and have to consider how to connect solar panles and water tanks. It's looking like this is the only building that can have a living roof because tin looks bad but functions better. We'll probably try implementing the living roof here in a couple of months just before the rains.
