What happens when you DONT take the snow off a Portable Garage

Mike Mike Mike,
People
Did you really think I was that stupid ??? (OK DONT ANSWER THAT)

Me I'm snug as a bug in a rug





(and yes three times during the storm I went out there with a wisk broom and spend maybe 2 minutes hitting the snow off the roof "from inside")

Now my Stupid a$$ neighbor now thats a diff story, baw ha ha ha ha ....

(yes I'm laughing the guy is an absolute slob, in all the yrs never once raked shovled cut or maintained ... @^$%@$%(@$$@

ahhh his poor wittle boat got a wittle xtra weight on it...



BAW H A HA HA HA HAH AH



You cant tell from this angle but he also let his pool colapse,
But thats alright too
cause he hasnt cleaned or used that in like 5 yrs
TG the house is for sale, WOO HOO!!!

Stupid me had an chance to buy it from a good friend who moved out @6 yrs ago for 120K (and it's on "3" Lots)
Now it's worth close to 1/2 a mil @&$^%@($&^%@()$%^@)$%@$)

And to Think Wednesday it was dam near 70 degrees and Beautiful out,
Had the L at work with me a few days last week


EDIT
Whoops moved that picture after the post sorry...

Bottom line on my opinion with this Portable Garage, you get what you pay for.
It's what you'd expect for $200.00 and a excellent choice for my fair weather Brothers.
HOWEVER for the Snow People like me, NFG mine is coming down and being replaced with a Steel one shortly....

If it would have snowed more yesterday when I was at work mine would have came down too.
I had to clear it in the morn before work, again at lunch, and again after.
It was that REAL REAL HEAVY WET SLUSH SNOW and had I not been able to clear it those 3 times I dont even want to think about it....
so as soon as the weather breaks, "PLAN B" ; o )

"I think we can all agree" , that for the $200 you spent and the little elbow grease of removing snow the the cover did its job.

I also "think we can all agree" that if you didn't have that cover the Black L would be a white L ( Not thats theres anything wrong with that).

I also "think we can all agree" this is a stupid post.

I don't know you, but it seems to me if you had a rigid building in an environment where you get solid precipitation as opposed to only liquid that you wouldn't have an issue.

That is one hot lightning.

They say it's supposed to be 70F next Saturday (3/24)... maybe a time to whip out my summer rider.

I miss driving her... However, the last time I had it out was when I picked up my F150, which was exactly 106 days ago. It was a nice 70F day out... I drove it down, let my Dad drive it in front of me... couldn't have been a better day to get my new truck. But not bad, figuring most winters that Dakota goes in my poll barn in November because of the snow. Running it in December and January was a complete treat. I started it up the other day when it was 60F outside, and dang, I just wanted to drive it for like 10 minutes... but the sand and salty puddles changed my mind.

V I think we can all agree you sound like me for pete sake hehehehehe

Thanks ManualF150,
106 days "YIKES" : o () I drove mine a few times last week and I already miss it

Alot of people saw it when I put it up and asked about it, and as V said yes it has already taking
me through 3 or 4 snow storms and A LOT of rain and other crap, but after seeing what it did to
my neighbor yesterday and if you get that wet slush like we got yesterday and happen to not be
around to clear it this Portable Garage would crumble
(I just wanted to pass that along)...

Screw you V not everyone can afford what you have,
BTW DO YOU STILL HAVE A LIGHTNING

Hey what can I say I was just sooooooooooooooo happy when I saw his wittle boat under the colapse, (and the pool colapse), I just had to share it

You try living next to a neighbor with 3 lots and @ 150 trees that has never once taking a rake to his property, or cut the grass, or, or or, I cant wait for this frigging slob and his workless *** to get the hell out of Dodge.....
Who knows maybe some teenage Lesbo's will move in
OR SOMETHING

Bottom line after I bought this one Sal warned me because he had the same one I have colapse on his Cobra and after the wet mess we got the other day it was a BIG wake up that the cheapo Portable is not good enough
BUT it did serve it's purpose and if not anything else it'll act as a stepping stone for me to get something better before next winter..

Oh ya
FU FF

Rob, go plan B.

We did and got all the cars/trucks inside a detached 1300 sq ft garage now. Best thing I ever did.
