My Lexus Hauls 14' Lumber!? Plumb, Level, and Square Challenges | Firewood Storage Shed Pt. 5

The firewood shed build continues — but first, we need a supply run. Join me for a trip to Home Depot to grab some 14-foot lumber to span the full width of the shed. You'll also hear why my Lexus GX460 has become my favorite tool on four wheels — it's more useful than you might think.

Back at home, we move on to cutting and installing diagonal braces on the main support posts. Getting everything square proves trickier than expected, but I walk you through the challenge and what to watch out for if you're building your own firewood shed.

📦 In this episode:
✅ Hauling long lumber from Home Depot
✅ Talking about my Lexus GX460
✅ Sharing upcoming ideas for this channel
✅ Cutting diagonal braces for structural support
✅ Struggling with (and solving) alignment issues

👉 If you're into DIY homesteading, woodworking, and real-world building lessons — you're in the right place. Learn with me as I build a suburban homestead on one acre, dogs included.
