Ok, it finally decided to not rain for a weekend, and I got to put the 'shed' up.

The size is just about perfect, though I do have to flip up the discharge chute to get the 48" deck (60" actual width) to clear.
Putting this thing together was no picnic.
It is simple in construction. 20 or so interlocking pipes, along with a dozen or so "T" and "X" fittings.
Simple enough in theory, but in practice it's quite a challange.
The pull-over skin is what actually holds the structure together, and it does that well.
The problem is getting all 30+ pieces to stay put while you are putting it together.
After getting bapped in the head by a falling pipe 2 or 3 times, I finally had enough and started sealing each joint with Duck-Tape as I put it together.
That worked out well.
I was originally going to put it on a spare concrete slab in the back yard, but it turned out to be too small. I did not want it to be on Grass due to the obvious moisture issues. So I just put it in an otherwise unused section of the driveway.
Instead of using tie-down ropes, I bolted it to the driveway.
