Any type of Stainless Steel, 18/10 , AISI 316, etc… I’m looking for more information on how to figure out an approximate cost for "designing in stainless steel". If I were a manager overseeing a designer designing kitchenwares for Alessi, how do I estimate how much the manufacturing or production cost is going to be (Obviously, I would just talk to the manufacturer to find out the total cost, but I don’t have a "manufacturer" to ask). Feel free to give an example, or pick something on the market and shed some light on it. I appreciate any comment or speculations (even keywords to search from).
How bout "HUH?"……

Looking to sell asap… it’s 3bdr 2 full bath 16 X 76 washer, dryer, fridge stove all included, central air, 8 X 10 deck, ramp – wheelchair accessible, outdoor storage shed, carpet is 2 years old, kitchen flooring is new too. Nice lot runs against the wood. Would like to get around $30,000. Any ideas on how to sell quickly?
Talk to an agent that sells trailers. You may also hunt down a lender that will lend yourself, that is the biggest obstacle to selling a trailer, no one can get a loan to buy one.

I have a what i thought was Garden. Nw i have been told it is agrucultural & have to apply for ‘Full planning permission’ to put 2 wood garden sheds a a couple of ‘Pergolas.
Comments???????????
Size.
Sounds like you have something bigger than what the "planners" think of as a ‘garden’. Quite often, what passes for a ‘garden’ in a rural area, gets called a small farm in more urban areas, heheheh.
Go talk to the planners, you most likely will have to purchase a permit. (They do like those fees you know).
Good Luck

Garages just don’t seem big enough these days for cars, bikes, the lawn mower, the snow blower, garbage cans, recycling bins, plus all your garden tools and supplies. That’s why a backyard tool storage shed has become more of a necessity than a luxury. Our 8′ x 10′ Tool Storage Shed has plenty of

I’m a bit perplexed on this one. I always thought that the larger the sensor, the easier it is to get better image quality. In terms of absolute resolution, if not sharpness. Today I was told image quality has nothing to do with sensor size. It’s all about the sensor design. Can someone shed some light on this?
My opinion is that sensor size is important, but not the only affect on IQ. Right, wrong?
All else being equal, a larger sensor will collect more light and end up with a better image. Not everything is equal though. Companies can put different pixel density, or use different color filters. A couple of high end Fujifilm cameras have a sensor with two different size pixels. That makes a difference.

Instead of building a big wood chicken coop…I want to just buy a shed/garden storage, and convert it to a chicken coop…so where can I find the best deals on them…I can’t afford anything over $1000, and preferably not over $800. Has to be atleast 8′x8′, pressure treated wood, sturdy, etc. I’m in Charlotte, NC
Thanks
I don’t like any of the chicken coops online, they are way too small, & have little or on access. I want something kind of like a mini barn…so that I can go in their with the chickens & I want to store their food in their.
Why convert a shed? Buy a chicken coop!
They are all over the ‘Net, just do a search.

You don’t need planning permission for wooden structures, they’re classed as temporary buildings.

I need to build a shed base for a 12 by 9 foot shed. I intend to build a concrete base. Can I / shoud l use bags of ready mixed concrete or is this only really designed for lighter purposes – such as fence posts etc. I have an existing small concrete base – can I cement right up to this, or do I need to do something to bind the old and new concrete bases?
You defiantly don’t want to use ready mix bags, Hire a mixer and have your sand, gravel and cement delivered by your local builders yard. Fore best results take the old base up and start again.

I am moving into a condo soon, and when it comes to built in storage, there’s one master closet, and one closet in the second bedroom – that’s IT. There’s a whole gamut of small stuff to be stored. However, there’s a good sized private backyard and I’m considering fashioning a simple wood framework and covering it with tarp (cheap makeshift shed if you will). Anybody have any thoughts for me?
Added: I would love to downsize, and as a matter of fact, "I" keep my personal effects small. It’s really my girlfriend who won’t downsize, so it’s mainly her stuff we’ll be storing.
Have legs on beds in both bedroom raised; store under bed.
Have tall portable coat closet, stack boxes in there without the clothes rod.

My Mum wants pet chickens and I decided to convert a large garden shed into a coop as she wants 6 chickens but may want more in the future so this seemed the ideal thing as I have found that my plan will hold loads of chickens comfortably. My only problem would be building a large run outside- my only idea for this bit is chicken wire but I’d want it to be about 7ft high as we have foxes in the area- any ideas? Please?
we have just built a coop at the bottom of the yard and we used fence panels from a building site the mesh type and you can buy them from hire shops quite cheap also the pen is quite easy to move about which will give your grass chance to grow back
if you were to ask at a building site if they had any spare panels or damaged ones they might let you have
i work on building sites and we are forever changing panels and we always stack damaged panels in the corner out the way
