We decided that a metal storage building could be tucked into the woods down by our barn and not stick out like a sore thumb on our property. We have beautiful pastures and landscape and the last thing I wanted is to plop a metal building in the middle of it. It was easy to clear out a “little spot”. We went to several local building dealers in the Auburn/Opelika area and began looking for the perfect building. Let me share something here….do take time to shop around! I couldn’t believe the price differences between each of the different dealers. We even went to a little further in our search and drove to Columbus, GA. Since Columbus is so close to Fort Benning, there are several metal building dealers. So, we made our rounds and I took notes at each dealer. I included building size, price, set up costs, etc. I quickly determined that a smaller 10×12 unit would not do and would be filled too fast! We went into a big 16×32 building that was set up at Action Buildings in Columbus. This was it! Just what I was looking for! Now, the real fun started as we negotiated with the dealership. Did you know they will negotiate? Never hurts to ask…..although I felt a little like we were buying a car. Remember when I told you it pays to shop around? Well, we were able to get this building for almost $2500 less than we were quoted at another dealership. Spent some time, saved some money!
Clearing the land…
The wreath shop journey began in January with the purchase of an Action building and we moved in and I began creating in my “dream” shop in July! Not too bad for doing this ourselves and paying as we went 😊
