We burn a lot of wood for heat. For years we stacked it on pallets and covered it with tarps. My wife wanted a shed to keep it dry and easier to access in the winter. I didn't want to spend the money.
We compromised and ordered a plastic shed from Sears.

This first pic is of the BX hauling lumber for the foundation

Next we used the BX to haul the decking.

This is my wife working on the foundation for the shed.

All pressure treated lumber. For a 12 x 10 ft platform it costs $329 just for the lumber. Wow.

We had Sears deliver the shed. It came in four big boxes.
The BX moved these to the shed site.

Finally we could start the shed. This is my wife putting up the walls. Everything snapped together.

This is the finished shed from the back.

All in all I am pleased. It took 5 hours to get a weather tight shell. Then we spent another two hours hanging the shutters and mounting the cupola.

It is much more sturdy than I expected.

Mornin Phil,
Very nice I didnt realize that Sears had one that large ! I know they have the tool lockers but nothing that big ! Should do a great job with no maintainence.

BTW I noticed the wife was doing most of the work ! :)
