I think it is outstanding! I'd love to build one just like it. I was inspired by your pics and found myself measuring in the yard today.

willydog-With my lack of ability to cut a straight line in wood, even when using a saw guide, I doubt I'd even have the floor framed by this time. When it comes to most carpentry projects, I'll pay someone. Weld-Thanks. Just so you know, it's a Heartland Estate 12' x 12'. On this side of the border, they're sold through Lowe's. http://heartlandind.com/ When I called it a day yesterday, I threw some chicken on the grill and sat down with a Brown Dog single malt and just relaxed. Doc-Thanks to you, too. Surgery is a week from tomorrow. If I didn't have to work in Jersey City this week, I'd get in a few more rides. And you are right, I didn't care about the money, which I gave to the gent that returned the wallet.

Looks great! When I did mine, I cut some plywood to cover up the bottom, sunk about 6" into the ground, all around. Then I screwed some plaster screening onto the plywood(carefully, that sh*t is sharp!), and smooied some mortar over that. It made the shed look like it was on a real concrete base and keeps the critters out from under.

Are you addicted to boneless skinless thighs on the grill like I am?

Queso, that shed is advertised as 10x10; what are the actual external dimensions?

http://aeppeltreow.com/label-gallery...g-v2-_2-press/ Any other time, I'll pass on the chicken. I must have eaten it everyday as a kid. BUT, if it's done on the grill, I'm there. I also find chicken that is 'Broasted', quite acceptable. As to my shed size, definitely 12' x 12'. The website is kind of funky. I found my shed on using my phone without a problem. But on the PC, it took a bit. You need to filter by price. The Estate is available up 16' x 20'.

Ah, that's like these guys, just a few minutes across the border from me: http://bellewooddistilling.com/
I might just use the pics for inspiration and build a 10x10 shed. That's all I can do (legally) without a permit.

The final step to the shed, hanging up the commuter bikes because I won't be riding them until the bike bridge across the Fox River gets rebuilt. And to get the PITA 1946 Schwinn frame out of my way.
All morning, no sun. Go to take a pic, blinding light. Another wall of the old shed going bye bye.

Bump.
Just an update about something I didn't harp on. When the guy put up the shed, it was found that the piece of trim for over the doors was not included in the kit. The guy was on the phone with Heartland and was promised the piece the following week. Nothing happened. Both my wife and I made calls to Lowes and Heartland asking where the piece was and we'd get promises and no piece of trim. This went on for a couple of months. Last week, Lowes corporate called the house and spoke to Mrs. C, asking all sorts of questions about the shed: How'd we like it?; Was the builder professional, did he leave a clean site?; that sort of stuff. She hit them with the missing piece of trim and what we've done to get it. She was put on hold for about ten seconds and transferred to a young woman who took down everything about our efforts to get the one piece of trim. She called back with a FedEx tracking number within five minutes. Monday, FedEx delivered the trim. Not just the one piece we needed, but the entire door trim kit. So, I got a few extra pieces to play with.

Glad to hear that you reached the right person. Looking forward to pics of the installed trim.

Glad the last detail is sorted. Good looking result. All set for the Cheezeland winter. It's September 20. Winter should be there in about 6 hours ;-)
