Before you roll that culvert into the ditch and feel all good and such, call the township, county or state to see if you are at the bottom of the ditchline. If you dont, you may find when they eventually come to clean the ditches, your new culvert will not flow water because it's too high. Now...

Hyvar is another good soil sterilant, but as mentioned before, sterilants leach badly. You will find out quickly where the water flows after a rain shower. You will be reminded for a long time too. Everyday.

Terminal supply may be another option. I know they do the nuts and bolt part, not sure about screws and such.

Live traps, and take them for swimming lessons. Sure they are cute. They are also destructive.

When you get it down to where it is just the basement left, be sure to bust out basement floor as well. That way, if it takes a year or more to build your new garage or shed, it won't be a swamp from all the rain and snow melt that had nowhere to drain to. Old basement hold a surprising amount...

just looking for updates/progress report

i too want to build mine from scratch as well. my wife, after seeing some of my other projects wondered outloud if i could do it or should do it for that matter. if nothing else, i will have lots of material for shelves in my garage when i measure once and cut it twice and find it's still too...

like someone else posted ... maybe a childs playhouse? diguise it with a swing and a slide :)

a wheelbarrow with no scratches? why even have one then? i like the family handy man solution. cheap and easy.

any updates? where did you find your plans. we are looking to build a shed as well for the same or less money than the lowes/home depot/rent to own places. have you found this way to be cheaper? i know material choice will determine alot, but is this costing you about what you figured?

large amount of sarcasm noted. nice build.

is the garage squared on the house, cause it looks like your garage is slanted in relation to the fence. all that said and asked, it looks to be a nice garage.

I am just waiting for the pictures of your kid bulldozing his momma's flower garden for her. or the side of your house or car :willy_nil seriously tho, that is one lucky kid whose dad would be cool enough to build the neatest toy on the block :thumbup:

looks like it would reflect a little more light back into the garage as well. looks nice too.

keep the legs. easier to clean the dust/dirt that always seems to find its way under the bench/cabinets/whatever.
