This here’s about them sheds in Kentucky, you know, them little houses folks put in their yards. My old eyes seen a lot of ’em, I tell ya. Some folks down the way, they got one for their tools, keeps ’em outta the rain. Smart, I reckon.
Now, these sheds, they ain’t all the same. Some’s big, some’s small. Depends on what you need, I suppose. If you just got a few rakes and shovels, you don’t need nothin’ fancy. But if you got a whole lotta stuff, well, you might need somethin’ bigger. Some of them Kentucky sheds are right big, like a little house, almost. I seen one down by the crick that was bigger than my first house!
- Little ones for tools
- Big ones for lots of stuff
- Some even got porches!
You gotta think about where you gonna put your shed. Can’t just plop it down anywhere. Gotta make sure the ground is level. Don’t want it leanin’ over like a drunk man on a Saturday night. And you gotta make sure it ain’t too close to the trees, or them branches’ll be scratchin’ it up all the time. My neighbor, he didn’t think about that and now his shed looks like a cat got a hold of it. Silly man.
And you gotta think about if you gonna move it, they say. Move a whole shed? Lordy, that’s a job. Gotta empty it all out first. Everything. Can’t leave nothin’ in there, they say. It’ll be movin’ around and breakin’ stuff. Makes sense, I reckon. A shed full of stuff is heavy, like tryin’ to lift a whole cow. You don’t want that stuff fallin’ on you when you’re movin’ it. Best to take it all out first.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called “permits.” Sounds like a bunch of government hooey to me. But they say you don’t need one of them “permits” if your shed ain’t too big. Like, if it’s smaller than… what was it… 120 somethin’ or others. Feet, I reckon. Don’t ask me to measure, my eyes ain’t what they used to be. These Kentucky sheds and their rules, I tell ya.
But I guess if you get a real big shed, maybe you do need one of them permits. Best to ask someone who knows ’bout these things, not me. I just know what I see. Some folks, they try to get away with not gettin’ a permit. But that’s like cheatin’ at cards. It might work for a while, but eventually, you gonna get caught.
Now, some folks, they don’t buy a shed. They build their own. If you’re handy with a hammer and saw, that’s fine. But if you’re like me, and you can barely sew a button, best to just buy one. Saves you a lot of trouble. And they got all kinds of sheds in Kentucky you can buy. Some are plain, some are fancy. It will cost you some money, but I think it is worth it. I saw a lady, she paid for a man to bring her shed right to her door! They call it “Delivery” and they said it’s FREE!
- You can build your own shed if you’re handy.
- Or you can buy one already made.
- Lots of choices out there!
- Some places even set it up for you, they said no early payoff fees.
They even got places you can go look at these sheds. Like a car lot, but for sheds. I saw one the other day, they called it “Barton Run.” Lots of sheds there, all different kinds. Some had little porches on ’em. Imagine that, a shed with a porch! You could sit out there and watch the world go by, I reckon. They got all these fancy names for ’em too, like “Utility Shed” and “Lofted Side Porch Cabin.” Don’t know what all that means, but they sure looked nice. And there was a number you can “text” to, I hear the young’uns sayin’. 270-770-4499, it was. Imagine that, talkin’ to a machine! And it said it talks Spanish, too! My oh my, times are changin’.
So, if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ a shed in Kentucky, there’s a lot to consider. Size, location, permits, buildin’ your own or buyin’ one. It’s enough to make your head spin. But don’t you worry, just take your time and think it through. And if you get confused, just ask someone who knows more than you. There’s always someone willin’ to help, even if it’s just givin’ their two cents. Like me, I suppose I just like to talk, even if it ain’t always useful. I hope it helps someone thinkin’ ’bout them sheds in Kentucky.
