I wanted to build a shed to store firewood, but the red tape involved getting permission from the Town wasn't worth the trouble. Instead, I got a 7 X 7' Rubbermaid shed. It took me about ten hours to get the flooring finished. Digging even a small hole in this area requires a shovel, a pick, a sledge hammer, and something to cut roots. Putting the plastic sides together was a snap - literally. There's rain in the forecast, so I might not do any more with it today.

You need a rest, Jerry. Hope the rain doesn't make it too messy to finish the job.

Looks very nice, Jerry. City hall can be so silly about things, yes? Those who hate federal government in favor of local rule have probably never dealt with local government and tasted absolute power in the hands of nobody with a brain. They balk at a nice permanent structure and yet accept tacky plastic or tin ones (this one is very nice though). I was quite surprised when I moved to a small town and found that the wealthy farmers who run things don't allow any businesses to come in that might give permanent jobs to their farm help. "Keep it country," is their mantra. Still, it is a cheap place for people who already have income, like Social Security, to live, without all those wicked city people around.
My next door neighbor's steel shed was blown away a few months ago by a tornado (along with her roof--rafters and all), and the roofer built her a great new shed when he did the roof--I don't think the city noticed. She is in her 80's and doesn't give a hoot about what they might think of it later. My wooden shed, 6 feet from hers, stayed put, though the tornado could have taken anything it wanted. Consider something to anchor it down in storms.

The paperwork for that is worse than for a building permit.

Nicely done!
Here in my county we can build a 150 sq ft building without any permission. It did raise my tax bill though:-(

I had one of those up in Pennsylvania, but it had a rubber/plastic snap together floor, a double front door big enough to ride the riding lawn more into and a single back door that was of to one side. I put in 2 stacks of metal shelving and it had wall hangers for tools. It worked pretty good and was in expensive enough. It did well in 2 hurricanes (one was Sandy) and all kinds of bad weather including heavy snow.
Yours looks good and should give you years of good service.

Nice! Rubbermaid has some pretty amazing products, don't they?
Yes. They seem to be into everything.

It should hold most of the three cords of wood I use every winter.
