Very clever

Electric hammer?

Have you checked that you have enough bricks, including an allowance for cutting given the awkward dimensions? Wouldn't want to get part way through and run out.

What's the roofing material?

Any ideas what it was originally for? Cool cabinet

Watch out for the last minute 'that's mixed metal' due to a single pop rivet left behind. Make sure that you are religious about separating the various metals and pay you the lower price for something that is 99.99% copper. You are always offered the option of ******* it home again.

Surely just a wipe with a soft cloth? How clean do you need them? Dishwasher will rust cheap stainless steel. Definitely wouldn't put any tools I cared about in one.

Wonder if JohnHenry is still on the site and can tell us how the joint has lasted. Some real world experience, as it were.

Honestly, I feel your pain. The question comes down to how much YOU need the cash for parts and for your time. I say: do it, see how you feel and the (financial ) impact on your life. Worst case you silently recover the cost from less favoured clients. Call it an ******* tax

If 'guidelines' say 18" and you want to use 12" then you have to expect that nobody other than you will stand by your foundations. The advice to get an engineer is perfectly reasonable for the little we have been told about your site conditions. It will probably be fine but if you build it on...

Any details of the bolted joint in the corners? Looks almost too good to wrench on. I would be very pleased and proud of that.

What about a bio-gas generator? http://www.completebiogas.com/B_55Gal.html

Pegboard in a drawer?
