I would like to have them deliver it to my mother's house where it will stay permanently.<br /><br />I would like a cabin, but that will be for my future home in Terlingua. I will buy it from the Derksen dealer in that city when the time comes.<br /><br />The portable shed is not in my plans.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-88419003701627615122014-04-07T00:40:41.157-07:002014-04-07T00:40:41.157-07:00Meant to say " A little cabin on wheels would...Meant to say " A little cabin on wheels would be absolutely fabulous!"<br /><br />Me and my typos :-(MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-58845336684447584932014-04-07T00:37:40.254-07:002014-04-07T00:37:40.254-07:00I loved how your Man Cave turned out Dave!

TuffShed does good work, I had them built my shed in Houston.<br /><br />I would welcome someone to approach me offering to build the shed or the cabin at a cheaper price but that is not the case here in the Del Rio store. I think Derksen must of move out because there was not enough demand.<br /><br />I little cabin on wheels would be absolutely fabulous!MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-78149022010241099022014-04-06T23:47:40.878-07:002014-04-06T23:47:40.878-07:00Nice to see a portable shed.

So instead of ordering and paying the transport charges you can make use or woods to be done. This may be worthful than the portable shed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-20501369336983461792014-04-06T06:57:36.325-07:002014-04-06T06:57:36.325-07:00We ended up being pretty happy with our TuffShed (...We ended up being pretty happy with our TuffShed (through Home Depot) installation but I do agree that if you can get similar quality for less money, that's the ticket. <br /><br />When we were at Home Depot looking at the shed models, we actually had people approach us with business cards basically offering to come and build the same shed for a lot less. I have a friend who was approached the same way, and he took them up on it and got a really nice, customized shed for a lot less than he would have spent. Of course, in our case, we wanted to take advantage of the 6 month no-interest credit and I doubt the guys hanging out in the parking lot at Home Depot offer that.<br /><br />I too am fascinated by the idea of using one of these sheds as a little cabin. Putting it on a trailer frame seems like an even better idea.

I think it is a great concept and if I were younger and had building skills or a tall weathered cowboy to help me build it, I would go that route.<br /><br />The shed I need mostly like I mentioned on my reply to Trouble, to put all the stuff from my house in Houston. No sleeping on the loft for this gal...like yourself would probably wind up breaking my neck :-(<br /><br />When I finally move to Terlingua I would like to buy a small cabin. In Terlingua they have a Derksen dealer and they are selling like hotcakes.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-86067390548007453102014-04-05T21:49:45.536-07:002014-04-05T21:49:45.536-07:00I would like a shed so I can bring down stuff from...I would like a shed so I can bring down stuff from my house in Houston. Mother's house is fairly small and I have a ton of boxes that I brought down after thieves broke into my house, so space is tight.<br /><br />If the price was right...I would prefer a small cabin so I can get a feel for what it will be like living in one when I finally make my move to Terlingua.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-4145994351274356432014-04-05T21:42:07.957-07:002014-04-05T21:42:07.957-07:00Hi Bigfoot!

They are based out of Home Depot here in Del Rio but their price is double what Derksen buildings sell for.<br /><br />The shed in my house in Houston was put together in my backyard by Tuff Shed as well and it did not require a slab. The Derksen buildings don't either.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-42834848656388539332014-04-05T08:14:49.034-07:002014-04-05T08:14:49.034-07:00I have long been interested in tiny houses, and am...I have long been interested in tiny houses, and am on a mailing list that comes out once a week featuring different styles, costs, etc. As for the two lofts, they could be very useful for storage of things you don't need often, but most tiny houses use the loft for sleeping space. I've decided I could never sleep in a loft because the ladder is usually close to straight up and down, and I'd end up breaking my neck. I think they'd be fine for people in their 20's & 30's! It's amazing how many people build their own, sometimes using recycled materials they pick up for next to nothing, and end up with beautiful tiny houses. Also, many of them are built onto a trailer such as you can buy from Harbor Freight - like a mobile home they can be moved, which in most states means that you don't have to meet building codes because it is considered a mobile home, and you don't need a slab foundation. Please post more about it if you are considering something like that. Also, if you just have one source to buy one in your area, you could consider buying from another location and having it moved to your space. I think it is such a great concept and if I had the opportunity I would do it in a heartbeat.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-28942918842222280612014-04-05T07:22:25.021-07:002014-04-05T07:22:25.021-07:00Why do u want one?

Of course you can't pick them up and move them to the desert. And you'd have to have a slab to build on.
