Been tied up with this thing this month, Building in a box from Lowes. Poured a concrete slab with my Harbor Freight mixer, never missed a beat. Due to having more slope than I thought, ended up using more concrete than I had figured, even after backfilling with rocks, broken concrete and scrap metal piled in. Took over a week working on it 4-5 hours a day to get the building assembled, just too hot to work on it after about 11AM. Oodles of tiny 1/2" long sheet metal screws and 1/2" long 10-32 bolts and nuts. Glad I had a cordless drill to drive in all those screws! Was still cheaper than a pre fabbed building, but man, it's thin metal, so don't know how it will stand up to wind. I still have to stud the inside with some 2"x4" pine so I can put in some shelfing and some hanging racks for yard tools, as well as some solar lighting for those few times you need light in there. My little helper [or hinderer, LOL], is checking it out. His favorite tool is a hammer and my cordless drill, had to watch him or he would be trying to drive screws like nails and drilling holes in the dirt.
Don't think I want to put another one together, MUCH more work than I thought it would be. Now maybe I can get back to the Lincoln, that is if I can get the Freightliner out of the shop again and go back to work a few days. Have only gotten 2 days in this month, so I need to make a little money for some tires and a drive shaft..
