Well, I finally got around to getting my little tractor shed up. Haven't got doors on it yet, but the better half can park in the carport again. Here's an idea for anyone who has (legal/ethical) access to non-returnable pallets.
I have as many free pallets as I want from work, which make up most of the walls. They are great to work with because they are 35" square, 5-1/4" deep, and quite uniform. I spliced them together and put 2x6's between them (concrete form leftovers from building projects at our church) and some salvage 4x4's on the corners. The corner 4x4's had a 2x6 and 2x4 added to them, making them similar to 6x6 corner posts. The railroad ties came from a buddy's junk pile. Apart from some unorthodox stud spacing, it went together quite easily.
All I had to buy are nails, some OSB and shingles, and it fits my little BX perfectly. Gotta love recycling!
