was going to build my shop myself, but after exhaustive research, including pricing everything out,including delivery, the difference in price was negligible, unlike other companies I had contacted. Then there would’ve been the hassle and time factors. They gave me a window as to when they would be able to deliver the building and met the window with time to spare. I purchased a 12′ x 24′ shed fully closed cell insulated with insulated windows and double wide insulated doors, built 6″ higher than standard. The outside was storybook cute, complete with architectural shingles, and the inside was totally sans interior walls and was ready for my own build out. I cover the walls with OSB plywood, painted white, and did the peaked ceiling with Luann, then put in electricity with outlets wherever needed.I built a loft and I trimmed the windows and doors with butt jointed treehouse carpentry.

OK, now it’s a bit more than two years later. I recently had one very minor hassle that Gideon at Sheds Unlimited remedied with no hassle for me. I do scroll saw art and I am in the shop for 6-8 hours a day. As I said, the shed is 12′ x 24′ and I cool the entire thing all summer with a 5000 BTU window A/C that I had around and it easily keeps it around 68 to 70 degrees. For most of the winter I run one of those 120V portable radiators, on low most of the time and except for the very coldest days it keeps it in the mid 60s, barely making a dent in my electric bill.

I know this was a long post/review, but it barely expresses how happy I am with my little shop. My only regret is I wish I had gotten it bigger.
