are you a do-it-yourselfer? i am i like doing things myself for the sastifaction of knowing that i did and i can be proud of what i've done.my most recent project was building my own wooden storage building.we went out and got some prices on having someone come in and build it and then we checked on renting. well needless to say that was way to expensive and when you rent you never own it or you pay three times what you would normally pay if you paid cash.so i knew we had to have one because we didn't have any more space and this was stuff we had to keep.then i checked on the metal ones (whoa)talk about cheap,about the first time my husband cut the grass and a rock flew out and hit it not only would it be permantley damaged but we would have to live with it and what you see is what you get but with a wooden one if you ever need more space you just add on.well the next thing i did was went on the web to see if there was a web site for do-it-yourselfers for this kind of project and sure enough i found it. it's www.qualitybackyardconstruction.com it's a do it yourself website on wooden storage buildings and there's like eight different sizes to choose from so we picked out what size we wanted and ordered it and one nice thing is we didn't have to wait for it in the mail as soon as the payment was approved we down loaded it and went to work.we got everything we got a tool list,a material list,a cut list,and complete instructions on how to assemble it. plus we got there e-mail address in case we ran into any problems.it was a great experience and i just wanted to share it with everyoneso if you check them out give me a shout and let me know what you think. and so you'll know we saved about thiry five hundred dollars.

I am just like you, I like the feeling of finished a thing that has come to live from my own hands, ant think that nothing compares with it. Thank you for the link you have included, it is always nice to see that i am not the only one who thinks that a self made thing is better for the satisfaction it gives.
