I have an interesting dilmena for which I'd like those in the know
to help solve or at least provide ideas.
I moved in 2004. At my previous house, I had a nice covered patio
area where I could store my ET, and it even had an outdoor power
outlet conveniently located in it. That made a great outdoor area
to store my ET. Basically, there was a large concrete & brick
covered porch built on piers over the patio area. It allowed my ET
to be protected from precipitation, but also be in outdoor storage,
so it didn't occupy my garage or shed. It was "climate controlled"
but at least it stayed dry.
My current house does not have that nice feature. As such, I have
been storing my ET in one of my garage bays, evicting my car. That
fact has been grating on me, since I like to have my car protected
from the elements also.
I would like to once again have my ET in outdoor storage, but I do
not want to have it subjected to precipitation, nor do I want it to
be away from that "life-giving" power outlet it so desperately
needs. I also want it to stay close to my driveway/front of house,
because it's primary purpose in life is plowing & hauling, not lawn
mowing anymore because the terrain just doesn't like it (and I caved
and got a lawn service).
Soooo, I once pursued the idea of getting a permanent shed, with
slab foundation, next to my garage, and powered by the nearby
house. However, that entire plan fell through, because the town I'm
in said sheds can only be in the backyard by definition, and they do
not grant "placement variances" to that rule. So, no shed beside my
house, and locating the shed behind my house is just not feasible
because of the lack of space and sloping terrain.
So, I thought about various "temporary" structures. However, I
found none big enough (or way too big). I have an E20 with tool box
on the back, and always an implement on the front. The temporary
sheds I've seen are all wide enough, but not nearly long enough to
accomodate this "monster".
Has anyone found a good way to store an ET outside that did not
involve a permanent structure (or one that would blow away in a stiff wind)?
