Hey C, where did you get it?
I'm thinking of getting something like that for hay storage - there is one at TSC for 299.00. I have it on order. It doesn't have the chain link fence, though.

I saw on a website, can't remember which one but they used it for a chicken coop. They just took wire fence I think and made a big hoop out of it by attaching it to 2x4's at the bottom. Then they threw a tarp over it
I thought it may be good to store hay in or most anything
Go here and look at second picture:

It means she used smarts and made something better than you can get in the store. Now you need to come out here and use some smarts to help me find a way to get a barn for hay down in my pasture. Hill too steep to deliver one, and no one will build one down there either -- too far and steep to get materials down. My Dad isn't physically able to do it anymore and I certainly can't do it alone. I'm trying to talk him into letting me put a shed up by the road on his land. He doesn't want anything built on that -- wants to keep it "natural". Auggghh.

Ha Ha Patty,
This labor ready man is a really good worker. I mentioned my shelter for hay and he said he's helped build them before. Today he picked up a helper who also knows roofing.
He was pretty helpful with some things we had forgotten about since Rick & I have not done roofing since we were in our 30's LOL
You never know what kind of problems these guys have, usually drugs or something but this guy has a wife with health problems, no insurance he's too reliable to be on drugs. He works really hard and does a good job... so far.
They like to be paid by the day. He thinks $10 an hour is great, we are paying $12 now plus I feed them plus gave extra for gas sometimes. None of that is required. When we're done and the roof is done and the fencing, we will have to move because we'll be broke and can't afford to live here. LOL He was here at 5:30 O'dark this AM I ignore the nail gun noise until about 7:00 It's hard to find GOOD workers so we want to keep him, but will share if you want let me know
