How BAD is it, REALLY?

There is one test that tells one how fast the country is going down and here is that test:
Go to frozen ice cream in a store and look for Ice Cream Drumsticks.  If you find only little drumsticks no one wants are the only drumsticks there, the supply chain has failed to keep up the production of drumsticks and that means the supply chain of the country has failed so buy long term food, have a way to supply good water, etc. instead of buying those sorry little drumsticks.  Don't laugh because I am not kidding and I wish I were.

Costco near me has tons of the 16 count boxes and on sale for $6.50

   Without hiring a real estate Lawyer I am about to lose half of a 16X16 cedar post shed, dirt floor fully enclosed, half on my property, grandfathered in 1942 when the owner split the lot.   
   New Yorker, retired FD, now wants to tear it all down to build his new house.  Technically it's his building but it's on MY property.
   Though there is already a wall splitting it in half, structurally it wouldn't be sound to keep my half up. 

   So how big a storage unit do I start with in negotiations?   Wood ~ 12X10?

60X45 is a nice size,although if I were to do it again,I'd go a little bigger.

PLUS.....,demand insulation,ac,and heat be a part of the package.

A toilet,shower,and hot water heater would really seal the deal.

BTW,go for a quonset hut with blown in insulation. One with a round roof so you don't have to worry about wind,shingles,or leaks. Don't get a thin one,either. Get one that is rated to withstand more wind than you expect to ever get.  Mine is rated to withstand sustained winds of 175 mph,but the big garge doors in each end are rated at only 125 MPH or so of sustatined winds. My solution was to just back a car or truck bumper up to the doors,then set the emergency brakes so they wouldn't roll.

Don't be stingy with the cement. Too thin will crack. Go for 6 inches with a lot of rebar and fencing wire in it.

You can always accept a little less,but you can never ask for a little more.


Find out how bad he wants it.

Designate your property as a homeless tent city.

Tell him how much it's going to cost him to rent YOUR property!

    I'm smiling at the idea of a Pool Table in here somewhere.

 Pool tables are heavy.  We had one when we first married - my hubby traded it for doing some electrical work for someone. It was too much to move, so we sold it with the house. They are a lot of fun though to have around.

Make sure you get the circulated heat in the slab, if you're inclined to work on vehicles in the winter. It makes the work much more pleasant.

You're damn near close enough to Austin to get away with it!
