Rammy's Ramblings

[Rammy]

Not sure how long. Could be years or six months truthfully. The other building is too small for the zero turn. And the floor is rotting out. If an when I move I would take it with me. This is cheaper than the cost of a garage or adding on.

This is the $5000 one. Its the one I like the best.

My sister has one kind of like that tho we deleted the big door after it was delivered. We finished it out inside with insulation and wall paneling and installed a small central heat and air unit for it.it's her she shed/sewing building. It had a storage loft on one end, but I put another one on the other end so she would have plenty of storage. So far, it's worked out ok tho the central unit it turns out was overkill and it will freeze ya out, tho it is nice and warm in the winter.

Price the materials of what is actually in one of those and depending on one's skill level, you can easily beat the price by building it yourself.

Not real keen on the lack of overhang. Not only will rain dump on your head when you want to use that door, it will dump right next to the base of the shed on both sides. HELLO ROT!

 

[Latestarter]

Not really enough room to install gutters either...

 

[Rammy]

Yeah, Dont really like the lack of overhang either. Course, my current shed is like that but I can put gutters on it, which I do have on one side and a rain barrel for the garden water. I may look around a little more but so far this is the best price I found. As to building it myself, I would still have to pay someone to do it because I have no building skills. Its alot easier for me to buy prebuilt and its installed and ready to use.

What is the purpose for the building? Storage, shed to keep the mower in, workshop, brooder room for chicks....???? You mention the zero turn so I am assuming that it is to be at least some storage for that. Electricity may or may not be necessary but is a good plus.
Yes they are moveable, and any storage building company can move them. We loaded mine up on a flatbed truck that carries cars...14x20... to move it.
Go with the bigger one if you can afford it as the difference in sq ft space is cheaper if it is all under the same roof and framing in most cases.
Ask at the company where you are looking if they can put a loft storage in it... if the company is local, often you can get they "somewhat custom made". Our company offered some options of window or door, type roof, and some other things. ASK. You will be surprised what some will do to make a sale and if they are made in the area, you can often get siding to match the house if it matters to you.....me not so much.....

 

[Rammy]

It wont match the house if I get the gray one. The yellowish one is closer to the color of my house. But its smaller. The gray one is 12 x 20 the beige/yellow one is 12 x 16 but it already has the electrical installed. The building is for storage. I have a barn which the mower is in now, but the floor is dirt and its not a good place for a mower. I thought about converting the barn into a big storage unit, but then again, I thought about one day getting another horse, or maybe stay with cows, so they would have to have somewhere to go for shelter. Then again, I might sell that property if and when I move into my Moms house, so why spend that money to improve somebody elses building?
As for the interior of the building, I can probably do that much myself, Im just not adept at power tools. Putting in a loft wouldnt be that big a deal. I can ask my cousin to do it. Hes handy with tools. Mostly it would be for storage. The barn is too damp and dusty to keep stuff out there without it getting ruined. Plus the other storage building I have now is too small and the floor is weak and needs replaced. Its a tight fit for a 54 inch mower. If I got one, and moved, it would go with me. No way Im going to let someone else have that.They can have the old crappy one.
In the meantime, I might go look at this place in Dickson I went to a while back. More selection. Prices reasonable, and they will deliver free within 50 miles. Im a little over that but its not much extra to have them bring it.

So essentially, you'd be taking on even more costs to once again move it. By leaving it there, it SHOULD increase the value of the property by at least what you paid to get it. That being said, by leaving it, you increase the value of your property being sold, and that can in turn be used to replace it at the future place should you need to do so. Just a thought...

Having moved once or twice, I look for any way possible to NOT have to move additional stuff!

 

[goatgurl]

dealers around here charge $250. to move a building from one place to another within a given area. it's cheaper to move a building than buy another. how far is it from your mom's place to yours? should be an easy move if and when the time comes. buy what you can afford.

 

[Rammy]

ITs only 20 minutes away, 30 if you get behind a slowpoke. So it wouldnt be that hard to move.
