Board and batten Sawmill shed

Russell, I really like that board on board! I have built a 16x20 bunkie with loft and a shed with hemlock board and batten that I milled and nailed it green. Although it did shrink , I had minimal issues with cracking and splitting. I think I will try your method on my next project. I need a storage shed for my tractor implements. Keep up the great work!

Hello there i think board on board looks very nice Great looking sawmill shed

How's she goin'? The board on board looks great Russel!! I'm glad you decided to do the whole side like this. I think the metal pieces wouldn't look as good as this all wood side does. When I built my camp I used hemlock and kind of went with board and batten. The boards were 6 X 1. But for the bats, since I didn't want them to be 1" think, I ripped a 6" board in 3 pieces and then resawed these 2" wide pieces. So my bats are about 2" wide and about 3/8" think. And like you say the hemlock splits pretty easy. All my siding was green when I put it on but since then of course it has dried out and most every bat has split!! Oh well, it still looks pretty good from a distance!! LOL Thanks for posting this Russell. Your sawmill enclosure is looking mighty fine!! We'll talk to yas...

I've never been a big fan of hemlock lumber because of the splitting issues! I think what you have done with your board on board siding really looks great! Your concern of putting the roof on first is called uplift. The roof could act like a sail if the wind came in a the right direction. With all the walls on and the saw mill in the building I don't think you will have any problems. I think you are doing an impressive job Russell, it looke really good!

Looks amazing! Great job on the building and on the video👍👍 cool to see!

Lookin good Russell!

Russell looks good to me never saw it before I always do board and batten .I am down here on the eastern shore and I am just starting to saw the wood for a new saw mill building I think I will try your way and use fir because I have a lot of it on my land .keep up the good videos really enjoy them.

Good Evening Sir 👍😇 Green Grass ( I eared that they are playing Golf In Halifax 😉👍). Very Nice Strong Looking Sawmill Shed 👍😉💪 I agree with you about Board On Board will be nice if you can afford it Sir 😉👍It will be stronger too than using steel 👍😉👌If you will like you can cover all your wood with used Hydraulic oil ( I did All My House when I was living in Shefford ) and it Will stay the same color for ever and protect it against the element for ever too and against insects and after it will fill all the cracks👌😉👍 I realy what you are doing Sir ( Board and Board ) and It is stronger too 👍😉 Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING VIDEOS Sir et Bonne Année 😉👍👌🍻

First thing, I am NOT a carpenter, although I have sheeted a building before, with the help of a few buddies. This is the first time I've seen this "board on board" style done, it looks pretty good actually. I think your sawmill shed if coming along nicely. Let's see now, how you go.

Excellent video. New friend here.🔔 You have a fantastic channel. Have a good weekend. 💚37
