We bought a portable storage building last winter and have been trying to find time to assemble it ever since. Finally, we blocked out a segment of time during which we figured we could get it done. Have you ever looked at a kit and thought:  Piece of cake! We can do that in no time.  Yeah, well, we did, too, with this storage building kit. Actually, the problem wasn't so much the kit as it was the extension.  We were so confident in our construction abilities that we ordered a basic kit plus a 3-foot extension.  But as Burt said in Tremors 2:  We were denied some critical, need-to-know information!
