    Default Fixin to build me a shed for the boat


    Gonna make it 20 foot long and 12 foot wide.
    Post at the 4 corners and then one in the middle on the length section of 20 feet. That'll be 6 posts total with 2x6 or 2x8's connection. It'll be 8 foot high at the front and 7 1/2 at the back so it'll drain and not pond. Once that's done, I'll use 2x4's for the roof and trying to figure out what to put for the actual roof that's decent looking but fairly cheap. Not sure what it's made of but it's shaped like sheets of tin but I think it's made of Fiberglass. I want 6 x 6 posts but I'll be danged if'n Lowes don't have them here. Think 4x4's will be strong enough? I don't think they will

    Default I can build a shed Sat

    I did take Ag in high school for 4 years so I can do more than you think I can. They even had us making Duck boxes and those big round hay bale racks. Besides, I can design a house so I know how to do it

    4x4's will be plenty. There's a treatin plant just north of hwy 80 and just west of 55 that will prolly sell you some at a decent price. Can't remember the name of tge place tho. And they do make a tin shaped fiberglass. There's another profit that looks better than tge fiberglass that comes in different colors.

    I want the whiteish color so it'll let more light in there so my grass will stay dryer.

    Whatever you do and whatever you make it out of, just don't put a shelf in the back of it about cowling high. Ain't that right Bigger?

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.
