About two months ago, I went to check out the Derksen Portable Buildings lot in Del Rio, only to find that it was no longer there. Called the number that was on one of the pictures I took of the solar cabin. A new employee answered the phone and said the guy no longer worked for the company. Upon inquiring about the location of the solar cabin she informed me that she was now living in it at the Cotulla, Texas Derksen lot location. Here is a link to the solar cabin post

Since they no longer plan to have a presence in Del Rio...if I decide to finally buy a shed or a small cabin...I will have to pay transportation costs from the place that builds them in Uvalde, Texas. Back in October of last year I made a trip to that city and found that their inventory was running low and it appears to still be the case. The oil boom in the area has also driven up the price. The cabin above was the only small cabin on their lot but I do not really need a porch would much rather have that square footage inside the cabin...I did not like the price either.
I did like this shed and the fact that it has two lofts making use of what otherwise would be wasted space was a plus. The price is reasonable but again have to add transportation cost to Del Rio.
They also had this building but I did not like it either...again they have very little inventory.
Mother wants to re-build the cinder block fence that collapsed a couple of years back when we got 6.5 inches of rain in one night. If she does, then I will have no way of being able to get the building inside of her property as the gate is too small.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
