What A Shed Shouldn't Be Made Of

You’re planning a garden for this spring, planning a pool or planning to get extra storage. You’re looking around at what’s available, and you settle on a shed for your gardening and pool tools or extraneous stuff. Your neighbors or those homes you pass on the way to work have one. You like the different styles and colors. However, you want something constructed of good solid materials that will last. You decide the only way to go is Amish built structures. Good decision. Here’s why.
Commercially Produced Goods
Most people aren’t aware that their furniture is constructed of materials like particle board that aren’t solid. Flammable materials cover the frames of the furniture. Gases arise from all of this due to efforts to make the material inflammable. Formaldehyde is often a feature in commercially produced furnishings. Garden sheds are made of resins, plastics, steel or wood, which are much safer to be around. This is where you come into the picture. You chose Amish goods, because you’ve heard how well-made and lovely Amish goods are.
The Amish Way
The Amish don’t use mankind’s inventions like cars, electricity or machinery. They make their own plainly colored clothing, grow their own food, make their own bread and drive buggies pulled by horses. The beauty of the Amish way is that they live simply. When they build something, they do it with their own hands, with their own hammers and with diesel powered generators running their power tools. The Amish don’t deal directly with those outside their community, in order that their values remain pure instead of becoming tarnished by mankind’s bad habits. They deal with wholesalers who then move Amish wares to retailers.
Amish Built Structures
Amish sheds are constructed of wood and have the option to have a wood or vinyl exterior. The buildings come in styles such as Mini-Barn, Quaker, A-Frame and more. The beauty of Amish outbuildings is that they can be customized to suit your needs. Want a small version of your house, complete with gables, siding and flower boxes on the windows? You got it. Could you use a log cabin in which to store your tools and other stuff? We can do that. You might not own a horse, but a barn behind your house would certainly be a conversation-starter. No problem. Customize an existing shed or design your own. Either way, you’ll get a building of excellent quality, beauty and longevity.
The beauty of Amish work is that its heirloom quality construction means it is frequently passed on to future generations. Backyard sheds may not be as ornately carved or polished as Amish furniture is, but the buildings will be contact us for more information.
Constructed and finished as wonderfully as their other items. When you decide what type of shed will best suit your needs,

Dream Big: Why Adding A Double Garage Improves Your Life



Brand new homes are built with storage in mind. They are equipped with incredible closets, shelves and storage areas.  Unfortunately older homes just weren't designed with storing "stuff" in mind. This means that when you are thinking of selling your older home you may have to make a few adjustments in terms of available storage space in order to stay competitive with the newer homes on the market.

While it's pretty hard to add-on a closet to a home, adding on a double garage is not nearly as complicated or as expensive as you think, and it really adds value to your home when it comes time to sell it.
Of course, why wait to make your home better until you won't actually be living in it anymore? Functional upgrades like adding a garage are the kind of renovation you can enjoy now and still profit from years down the road.
To make your new garage appealing to buyers and maximize its usefulness now, build in storage accessories. Simple items like shelves, hooks, cupboards and bins make your garage instantly useful and help you stay organized while keeping the clutter out of your home.
According to the Realty Times article "How Much Resale Value For A Garage" by PJ Wade, you can dream pretty big when it comes to uses for a new garage,
"If your municipality allows accommodation to be added to a garage, the additional space and any related income may be the deciding factor for some buyers. If an occupancy permit is out of the question, the garage can still double as an art studio, workshop, or man cave, and differentiate your property from the neighbors. Will your zoning allow the space to be used for a home-based business?"
When you're ready to expand your home with a beautiful garage that can add new storage options or be used for recreational hobbies, please contact us to learn more about how we can customize a garage just for your family.
