raked the leaves, omg so many. It does not look like I did it since I was not being OCD abut getting each one, but I got the worst of it. I cheated, I pilled some along the side of the house so I saved myself about an hour worth of work. It's the bagging that takes so long. I need to look at building some kind of incinerator, but it would probably be illegal.

I actually did bag it all once, I had about 20 large bags, only one fit in the city garbage bin. It took me all winter to get rid of them. I was packing them down very good with sledge hammer as I went so managed to get it down to like 4 bags given I only bagged a small portion of them instead of everything.

Would an industrial-like blender take down its size? Use it as fertilizer?

I was thinking that too, if I could get it down to a rather fine dust, it would probably not take up as much space and I could probably even spread it throughout the entire lawn without it actually being noticeable. Since the leaves are so dry it would probably work decently.

Build <> buy
I spent hours pricing parts to build one from scratch vs building from parts - some premade pieces etc , and it tops a grand pretty quick.
This was $602 for a 14' X 10' complete steel shed. End of season discount. Just need to ass ... semble it ... the FUN part :)

You must live out in the boonies to not need a permit to put that up.

Well , We did check the "Official Website" and it didn't seem like we needed one for a shed. We need to go downtown for the new dog monday , so we'll double check the permit thing while we are there.

There is usually a size limit on sheds that don't require building permit.

For here anything under 108ish sqft does not need a permit. Made mine even 100. And yeah buying premade is cheaper though they tend to be smaller, I hit over 2 grand on materials for mine now lol. Lumber was close to 2 grand, and then add random accessories like fasteners etc. It's the plywood at adds up fast, about $40 per sheet.

Mine is at a stand still until the temperature can stay below zero. It's been raining too much. Need 3-4 days straight of no rain as the next steps will be kind of hard to tarp up so I need to be able to leave it untarped overnight.
