Homemade Portable Buildings

Homemade Portable Bulidings BUILDINGS Miscellaneous 28-1-41 We made a pair of portable buildings for our own use. They worked so well we started building them for sale. They're mounted on oak or pressure-treated skids so they can be towed by a tractor to relocate them. We use rough native lumber from a local sawmill to make the sheds. We made one 12 by 16-ft. unit that's being used as a small pig shed with a "sundeck" out front. Manure drops through the slatted wooden floor and onto the ground. When it starts to build up, the building is moved. Other people use the buildings for chickens, turkeys, calves, tools, firewood, hunting shelters and even as a playhouse. We sell a two-pitch 8 by 8-ft. shed for $1,700. (Steven L. McCartney, P.O. Box 712, Brooklyn, Conn. 06234 ph 860 774-6135)
