Needed : Cheap designs!

[Goat_Walker]

I am horrible at estimating, math is not my subject, but i THINK these are the deminsions

I have 4 , 2n x 2 feet for legs
and 4 2in x 8 feet ( i think ) for sidings.
I also have a 3 boards ( 2 ft x 4 ft )
Then their are some wooded pieces left here by the previous owners that i have no cue to the dimensions

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I know this is a newbie question, but i have to know , lol

what is craiglist and how do I get to it?

I feel for you... I am on a very restricted budget too.

We're lucky to have a lot of scrap from our 10 year remodel, and I went to my local freecycle forum to ask for various other things.

Im seeing if we can call a few lumber sites or ware houses.

Im having trouble on things to look up on craiglist, like exact words to put in lol, ive been up since 3 and my brainmojo is wherein down

craigslist is sort of like a all in one online site that has local chapters. You can buy, sell, offer free or post wants too. I am hoping it is ok to post the link www.craigslist.com I think. You can look up by state, then city. They have sections for animals, materials, lawn/garden, and one even called simply...free. you can look and see if you can find some supplies there i bet.

check to see if you have a "freecycle.com" in your area - I think that is much better than craigslist for asking for and finding free stuff.

I typed it in and it comes up with a bnch of sites to go to, What exactly do i click on?

Im so sorry i am ignorant, but thanks for your patience!

I used this easy design by Judymae's hubby.

I modified it a bit and came up with this.

Just about everything was free except the tin for the roof. I got all my supplies off Freecycle and craigslist. Or even on the side of the road.

PS I also built it MYSELF!! Hubby helped hold up the front while I screw it together but that was it. Middle-aged fat women can do whatever they set their minds too!!

Here's a link to the freecycle network in Alabama: http://www.freecycle.org/group/US/Alabama​

Is everything on there offered free???? Like seriously? SO if i reply to an offer, and "win" or whatevr I can get the item for free??

Yep, freecycle is great but if it's the same as ours here you have to OFFER something before you can start getting things.

The offer can be anything. The first thin I ever offered was a whole bunch of 1/2 empty seed packets from planting my garden. I had about 7 people who wanted them! lol
