RE: Apocalyptic Homesteading (Day 1268)

Is your shop tent hard to set up? If not, I would do as you said, wait until I get there so I could see where I wanted things. If you get the shed delivered and don't like where it is you will have to pay more for them to move it where you want it or always be unhappy where it is.

If you know the day you will be there, you could have your shed ordered in advance and have everything you need for it so maybe they can deliver on the next day after you look things over.

As for the vapor barrier, you should order the black plastic that the plant nurseries use, it is thick and lasts a long time.

Good luck with everything.

Yeah the shop tent takes six hours to setup with one person and three hours with two people. If I wind up using it I will wind up running out of daylight before I can get the moving truck and trailer unpacked.

Between all the camping tents that I have I might have enough room to use them as storage. I could then take my time the following day to setup the carport tent.

The tricky part is going to be finding enough flat area to use for the temporary storage and not block the driveway or the path that leads into the woods.

Yeah I am still debating on which route to take with the shed delivery timing. I would definitely prefer being able to see the place before picking a spot for the shed.

That is a good tip for the vapor barrier that landscaping kind is a heck of a lot more durable than what I was looking at.

I hope you can get it all figured out.

Thanks. I will figure out one way or another. The clock is ticking!
