moldy rafters on woodshed

I'd still like to see a photo of the woodshed. My idea of a wood shed is that it would have a good roof and the sides would be more designed to keep the wood in than to keep the weather out. My concept is kind of like a corncrib. Not much chance of mold that way. How tight is the shed?

This picture doesn't have the metal roofing sheets I had on the back wall. I took them off a few days ago.

You must have a unique situation to get mold. Hope you've solved it now. I like the snow buildup. We didn't get enough last winter to test the roofs.

We had 300" since I built it, so I think my build is ok. I am going to keep an eye on it, but not get to worried. If it gets bad I bleach it. My concern is about 20-30 years from now.

Are you suffering from lake-effect snow, looks like a lot on that shed roof. I only got around 6 inches last year, not even enough to keep rust off the plow.

For the past 30 years my wood-shed is down cellar where the wood-stove is, holds 7+cord, drys out as used and no mold that I noticed. The wood goes in wet around October, trees are cut down during winter time, sets outside tree length during summer.

I went for 100 mile ride the other day, what I noticed is in the last 100+ years, housing stile's have changed alot, I look at the old houses and what I see is like my older sisters house. First a big house, a long/big wood shed attached to the house, then attach to the big wood-shed, a big barn, no ventilation except for maybe on top of the barn roof between the lightning rods. Noways the wood shed is a mile from the house and no barn, but some nice house have a nice car garage. I guess most people prefer to keep their horse's under the hood like me.

I wouldn't say suffering, but it snows near Lake Superior.

I was just surprised, I thought there was plenty of air flow. Also no like it was rotting, just noticible.
