The super shed

I figured as the infrastructure of the station is really shaping up we will do a little series of posts on the new building additions to the station. The first entry is about our new Super Shed. It was not our original intention to make this building right away, while we were aware that in a year or so we would need this building we did not think it had to be done right away. But after a long discussion with our last contractors we were convinced to build a big shed to store our equipment etc. After some time passed the shed somehow got bigger and bigger until the final product. Once we stopped using the services of our first contractors and the shed was only about a quarter finished, we used the help of TOBAR construction which are helping us with our new cabins to finish the job, and they did a great job. At the end of the day this shed ended up being a lean-to 20 feet by 60 feet! We are very pleased with it after if will serve many purposes in the near future, right now it offers a new large surface to obtain rain water, a good garage for the tractor and trucks. Soon it will  be used partly as a storage barn when we obtain our chickens and ducks etc.! It also provides us with a good cover for the wood we are using for various projects!

    Excellent, i am glad to hear TOBAR construction worked out. I have been considering them for a building project in PG, and with contractors often being less than reliable in Belize, I am glad to hear they are a reasonable choice!

    Nice Shed, the view of the mountains in the background is even better!
