Frank asked earlier for me to post pics of this. I am putting up a toybox/home for my boat during the winter months. Really, I just pushed down some trees and built up the pad and then my barn builder showed up and put it up. They should be done tonight. Pretty much 3 days to put it up which was a lot quicker than I could have done it.
First pics are pushin trees down.
Then making the pad
Materials delivered
Then drilling holes (found my electric, dig rite guys were off 4' glad we were cautious and looking for it so we didn't cut it).
Posts going in the ground.
Top plate and starting ribs.

Cool, you should make a copy the Fort Apache sign and put it on the building.

Looks really nice, did you go 10' or 12' side walls?

I went with the 12' sidewalls. I considered 16' at first but am glad I did the 12' instead (it is plenty tall). It will still easily fit my tractor (has a enclosed cab) on a flatbed trailer no problem. I live in a subdivision (3-5 acre yards) so I had to get it approved by trustees and all of that fun stuff and when I mentioned 16' walls their eyes about popped out of their heads so I had to compromise a tad.
I am still very happy with it!!
