New Shop #1
In early Feb when it was too cold and wet to do anything outside I was wandering thru one of the BORG's and happened to take a look at their storage shed display. I found that they could build out to a 16' x 24' building. I went home measured out 16Ă—24 in my garage. While my garage was about 6' wider and 5' deeper my tools would fit in a building 16' by 24' and I would no longer have to move vehicles in and out and tools around to work. To keep the BORGS from getting their cut I visited Tuffsheds and StorMor and got estimates from them on a 16' x 24' building on a concrete slab. I went home measured out where I wanted to put the slab found I had plenty of room. I talked to the power company found that to bring power from my existing service on my house to another building would require upgrading to a larger wire from the transformer to the house. My subdivision has all underground utilities the cost of doing that was prohibitive. The back of my lot has a 10' easementand an overhead powerline. The cost of a transformer and overhead service to a building (the existing power pole was 15' away) was well within my budget. I just needed to remove a small tree.
This is the site cleared and waiting for the slab.
I decided to go with StorMor they gave me a quote with the slab and followed up. Tuff Shed couldn't or Wouldn't give me a price on the slab and their concrete contractor never followed up. (StorMor's price with the slab was less than Tuff Shed without a slab.) I called the power company had them hang a transformer and sheduled StorMor in to start as soon as power company had the transformer hung.

Once the slab cured and forms were removed. StorMor came in and in a day this is what I had.
