Update 02/24/2023 The shed is almost completed! We have the structure sitting on the slab the walls are up and the roof is on. I have my loader and backhoe on their dolly’s.Â
Because of the limitations of the size of The Garage Project, I won’t have enough room for the tractor, and to store the implements that are not in use. In the summer, I have the FEL (front-end loader) and backhoe attached. In the winter, I pull both of these off and put a snowblower on the front and a six-foot blade on the back. I need a place to store the off-season implements. We also want a place for all the garden tools, shovels, hoes, rakes, etc. We liked the DIY post and beam shed kits from Vermont’s Jamaica Cottage Shop. Because the Kubota’s ROPS is taller than a standard garage door, this was actually one of the few structures with an opening tall enough for the ROPS. We also wanted the shed to be accessed from the side rather than the end. Once we have moved on, a new owner might be able to use it as a pool house.
Our solution is the Camp Alcove precut kit. This shed is actually designed for a camping, to give an area out of the weather. We are modifying it as below:

We need an out-of-the-weather location to keep the Kubota BX25D compact tractor and Kubota Z122 zero-turn lawn mower.
We have several constraints that affect what we can build.
Our solution is a flat roof with mansard style eves. There will be a very slight pitch to enable run-off, something like 1/2 – 12. We will put a short railing around the edge, to conceal the pitch, and make it look like a widow’s walk, roof deck. We will not have any access to the roof area, so are hoping we can keep the railing to 2 feet tall to keep the scale.
We are looking for a concrete contractor to pour the foundation and stem walls for the garage, as well as a general contractor who can frame and finish the structure.

No wonder Sears is getting kicked in the rear by Amazon and others. I want to buy a socket set, cool it’s on sale at sears for $17.99 regularly $29.99. The Newington store has two in stock. Continuing with my iPad I start the order.
I notice on the checkout page,it say something about use your “shop you way rewards points”. I think I may have some because we bought some school uniform pant’s for Jameson last fall.I login and sure enough, I’ve got a 7,000 surprise points good for $7 off the order. I click the apply points button and it places the order without applying the points. Great.
That’s OK, I’ll just cancel the order and be more careful the next time. After hunting around for a while, I find the hidden cancel order button and cancel the first order and I find the set again start a second order. This time when I click the apply points and checkout button I see there is a “enter your pin code” text box several inches over and down with some tiny text about rewards points.
Great so once again, I’ve ordered without the credit so this time I call customer service…no help there, the first level rep and supervisor both tell me they can’t apply the credit after the order is placed.
While on the phone with the reps who are continuing to be unhelpful, I use my desktop and start a third order. This time I enter a usual pin code and click apply. No that’s not it. I try another likely code. No that’s not it. OK I’ll try one more I use sometimes and it’s still not it. Still on the phone with the rep, I say it won’t take a pin code, what do I do. He says enter your zip code. Wow that works! How I was supposed to know that my pin code is my zip code I have no idea. I know I didn’t set that up.
Good, now I can place the third order however it’s now showing 3-5 day before it will be ready. I know that both of the two in stock are being held for me. I ask the rep how long before the system will catch up and return to stock the first one I purchased…three to five days.
I was tempted to cancel the second order but I’ve decided to leave it, when I go to pick it up, I’m going to make them cancel it and fulfill the third order with that set. Wonder how that’s going to go.
