Black sheep, that's what I'm going for! I'm planning on an Orange/White/Blue paint scheme.

Mine will probably only ever be that clean the day it's done.
Well, you have a shop you stick built with continuous footers and foundation. That is a righteous building. Concrete will getcha. I had already graded for a 24 x 24 years ago. I had posts and beams up. I ran into trouble with my neighbors over other things and decided to abort that project. That was 12 years ago and after no building now I'm doing a shoe box. I got tired of the truck sitting out, knew I'd be moving in not too terribly long (I hope), and had all that laying around toward the materials. I have more money in the two 13' lengths of gutter, two downspouts, and Leaf Relief gutter covering than anything else. I used that old German siding and now it looks old like my house.
