Build A Homestead Shed

Build A Homestead Shed is another facet of self-reliance in our 5-day Homesteader Week program! Learn some very pracical carpentry skills as we build a small shed that can be adapted to many uses. Small sheds make excellent chicken coops and rabbit hutches, but they can also be used for storage and even emergency lodging.
