Shed kit arrived, I fear it is fubar. Staying home in the morning awaiting light so I can make a final determination, but it doesn't appear to me the walls are correctly framed for my plans. Truck arrived in fading light, unloaded in about 45 minutes, called to tell Guillermo I don't think it's right, am to have conversation with framer at 9 am. Really dejected. I try very hard to spend money as locally as possible, but at this time I am wishing I'd bought a kit from Lowes or Home Depot and modified as I needed to, or just hired it done. <sigh> My plan and the framed walls don't look to me, or to Bob, as if they jive. I explained it in detail - walk through doors center of each 16' wall with window above center and to the left of each door, end walls solid 12'. Framing for door in center of 12' wall piece does not butt up to an 8' wall with window in center to make a 16' wall. Not using real math anyway. We have been out with a flashlight and tape measure three times, cannot figure how they calculated this out, everything should be pretty much mirrored and it is not. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I can work from home and have already submitted for a vacation day, feeling very fortunate that I work for a company that offers paid time off right now, and relieved that my incubator is holding true. Glad my son is coming home to help this weekend. If they make it right it will still be a weekend of heavy lifting, and if they don't it will be a weekend of a lot of extra work to make it all fit, probably some extra lumber and lost sleep (like that's new). Truly bummed out right now.

Sounds like you got the shaft. Hopefully it is more repairable then you think. Good luck! If you need any advice I am a framer.

Sorry it is not what you ordered. Hopefully you can ;make it work. If you need sheds in the future, I can give a thumbs up for Tuff Shed in Colorado Springs. Used them for a garage, and it was done professionaly and quickly. They may be able to just bring one already assembled and un load it at your place.
 
Ok so I broke 3 eggs. 1 from each dozen. 2 are fertile. 1 is not. But two ARE fertile!! I think? Two of them have a darker colored ring around the dot. The other is just a white not perfect dot.

Aw Ponzees, that's too bad. If I lived closer, I would stop by to help you out! I love a challenge!

Adam, not really seeing the fertility in that picture.... maybe it is my computer.

I'm no expert as i have never actually seen a fertile egg before. 2 of the eggs have a darker colored ring around the white area with a small black dot in the middle. The other egg has no black and is just white with a lot of air bubbles in it it looks like. I'm gonna crack a walmart egg and see what it looks like to compare
 
Quick question, anyone know of a good place in the Aurora/Centennial area for organic chicken feed? Trying to get everything together.

Thank you,
Scott
 
The wal mart egg looks white with no black at all. Not around it or in the center. So I am not 100% but I think I may have fertile eggs. Someone go spend 2.50 to tell me if I'm right or not! Lol
