Love that range shed BOM. I have to share this story. I’ve been looking for a cheap solution to a range shed myself. It’s only a couple hundred yards from the shop building to the range but it’s a very steep hill. A couple of weeks ago when my wife and I were there it took me three trips with a rolling cart to haul our stuff to the range. As I was huffing and puffing and whining about not having a storage building closer my wife looked at me and said,

“why don’t you get a cart for the mower and just drive the stuff up the hill”.

:shock: :o :roll: :lol:

I keep an old riding lawnmower up there and I think she has hit the solution here. I have to give it a test run next time I’m there to make sure the mower is capable of the hill, will it be powerful enough to make the hill with a load and will it have adequate ground clearance for the rocks in the road.

If not, see if you can find an old used one with no mower deck very cheap, just to haul the cart around. I use my utv to carry most things due to my physical challenges, but when Miss T started talking about replacing the old wheelbarrow, I asked her why? We had a powered wheelbarrow with a dump bed. :D Only thing the old wheelbarrow is used for now is mixing concrete. :D
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
