Sometimes, someone will ask me what I think about using a storage building kit to get the building they want, and what kits might best suit their needs. I have an answer based on years of my own experiences, and the experiences of others who have taken that road. My recommendation for buying a storage building kit? Simple. Don’t do it! Just turn around and run as fast as you can in the opposite direction! Don’t lolly gag, or piddle around with the idea, just run away! Follow that advice, and you will save yourself a lot of frustration! If you are still planning to do it despite my advice, fine, just make sure that you have everything properly laid out before hand, including all the tools and materials that they didn’t tell you that you would need, and any adult beverages that you may need to reduce stress and frustration. Then, just follow the sequence listed bellow:

Your building kit should come with directions.

• Dig all the way through the boxes of material until you locate them.

• Try to determine which parts fell out of bag “a”, and which came out of box “24 d”. You will need to know this for proper assembly. Follow the directions to a “t”. Do not alter from this course in any way. Continue to do this until you know for certain that the wrong directions were included in the package.

• Call the manufacturer to get the proper directions which will come several weeks, or maybe several months later, from some country you have never heard of, and in broken, incorrect English, if you are lucky!

• Start over!

• Get more adult beverages.

• Realize that all the parts were not included in the package.

• Order them, wait 4 more weeks.

• Try to believe your neighbors are laughing with you, not at you.

• Find out what programs may be available for your rehabilitation after all the frustration.

• Start again.

• Realize that “tab a” will never fit into “slot b”.

• Go for more adult beverages.

• Start thinking about the rehabilitation thing in earnest.

• Admit that you have a problem. That is the first step they say.

• Box the whole thing up.

• Take it back to the supplier.

• Drive to your local storage building dealer.

• Find a nice wood framed steel covered building.

• Buy it.

• Have it delivered to your back yard.

• Rest easy! Now you have the building you wanted to begin with!
