Stella gets a new house

Post by slotrod65 »

My Blue/Creme Stella has been ordered, and is scheduled for delivery by the dealer (Hudson Valley Scooters) in a week and a half.

To prepare for her arrival, I ordered a shed from a local place, Classic Sheds. They build the sheds themselves right here in my city, and all are built to order. I met with the owner about a month ago, toured their shop, and placed my custom shed order. I was able to pick the size I wanted, the size of the door, door placement, and a choice of windows, siding, trim, and roofing material. Snow and other assorted annoyances delayed delivery, but today was the day.

Just before noon, the shed showed up on the trailer:

After some deft maneuvering, it was dropped off the trailer, then rolled on PVC pipes Easter Island style to its final place:

Finally it was in place:

Here is the interior. The shed is 8 x 12

and one with the doors open:

When my Stella arrives in 10 days, she will have a comfy place to live.

Damn! That scooter shed is bigger than my apartment in Brooklyn was! If only I could have that kind of space. Right now my scooter is wedged between my front door and couch. It's a fit, but it's tight

Nice digs!

A good start to a liveable man cave.

Wow, nice! And that it is something you can also take with you should you ever move is pretty dang cool too. What fun! Of course I am immediately filled with thoughts of customizing the interior, work bench, tool chests, scooter lift... beer cooler :)

Nice! If we owned the property where ours are parked I might do something similar.

When my Wife came home from work, she said that if the shed had a bathroom, I could move right in!
