Got an email that the shed arrived yesterday and could go pick it up. My first thought would it fit in back of the truck or should I take the trailer? I decided to just take the truck. With the tailgate down the shed stuck out past the tailgate by about two feet. The shed arrived in two big, long boxes on a long skid, and yes it had some weight to it, over 600 pounds, probably closer to 700 pounds. Anyways I strapped it down and went home with it.
Next problem, getting it off the truck! The two big boxes were wrapped in plastic wrap, so I had to cut it off first. I then, with the help of my wife slid the top box off which wasn't an easy job being it weighed 300 pounds or more. The second box was harder being it was sticking to the skid, but we finally got it off too.
So, what's next? Being I don't have the material yet to make the foundation for it yet, I think today I'll start putting the trusses together being that's the second step after making the foundation. Also, there is a lot of nuts, bolts and pieces for the trusses, so I take it that might take a while. I'm sure it's going to be a nightmare, the way they make instructions anymore sucks.
Great! Just got a message that the electric will be off next Tuesday for six hours while they upgrade equipment!
