Finally building my storage shed.

[Doofy]

Thanks. I think cost wise I have around $2000-$2500 into it not counting my time of course. As for siding I'm just going to leave it as is for now. Down the road I'll either put vinyl or if I can afford it I'll do tin.

Not to bad on cost. I just wish lumber prices would drop around here. It seems as though prices never drop once raised. We have one small lumber yard locally and its 130 miles to Lowe's or Home Depot thru the mountains. Sad.

Yeah I sawed all the lumber myself and the OSB I got from someone that owed me. The only real "cost" was the power pole skids, tin, and nails, tyvek, hinges, etc, etc.

I just bought a 9" 3ph post hole digger with the express purpose of throwing up a pole shed/barn. Hopefully, next summer.

With a 1/4" space at the back wall 1" between bumpers and 2" between the front bumper and the door we got my brothers short box and mine in the shed for the winter.

Very nice. Sure is a tight squeeze. Time to upgrade to 2 2019 Ford Rangers!

Nah. I like the chevys. We have three F350s, a 72, 75, and 79. The new stuff just isn't my cup of tea. Or should I say coffee.

I understand. My daily driver is a '98 Ranger and my snowplow is a '91 F-350. I don't mind going in to debt for a Tractor but never again for a new vehicle. The depreciation is insane.

Why do you park your trucks for the winter?

 

[BKBoiss]

With the way this town handles snow removal, or rather doesn't, the streets are just sheets of ice all winter long and then turn into potholes small cars get stuck in in the spring. The green one is mine and was the first "nice" truck I bought out of high school. I would rather not expose it to more salt or ****** drivers than I have to. We also work LONG hours day in and day out all winter so it just makes more sense to have them stored. I usually try to take it out when I get 4-5 days off for Christmas.

Not a bad idea to try to make them last. I buy nice disposable vehicles now. You can find clean, dependable used rigs for $3K that will last for years even with road salt and potholes. If you wreck it or it craps out...you are not out a lot of money.
