Hello all! Well, we are well settled in our new home (moved in back in March)... Now that our garage is full with my wife's car, and the Case SC (with 5 other tractors outside)... And the little 7'X7' Rubbermaid shed is full... I need to build a bigger shed. I am trying to do it with recycled materials to get costs as close to ZERO as possible (we have our first baby due in April). Seeing as though my dream shop will be put on hold for about 6-7 years. This is my way of trying to open up a little more garage space for tractor work (replacing the 7X7 with a bigger shed).
So, here is my question.. I am limited to 120 square feet without pulling a permit. I figure I can go with two dimensions - either 8' X 15' or 10' X 12'. The 15' length I think would be nice as I could 'bury' the less used items towards the rear - BUT this limits door opening width (say, if I could put in a roll-up overhead door). Now, it also limits what I can do with shelving (or a small workbench) on the sides.. The 10' X 12' shed would give me more room on the sides for shelving, would allow me to install a standard width garage door if I should choose to in the future, but I obviously don't get the depth.
Things I will be storing? Riding mower, snowblower, yard tools, lawn trailer, lawn sweeper, etc. Shelves would contain totes or boxes, most likely. Maybe some tractor parts that I like to hang onto...
So, anyone have any suggestions? It is also much easier to find lumber in standard 8' lengths versus 10 or 12 foot lengths. (I'm searching for recycled materials like pallets, etc.).

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Pat Browning. The setting is rural Wisconsin, halfway between East Troy and Elkhorn, on Hodunk Road, our nation was at war, and I was 6, 7 and 8 years old. George was our "threshing neighbor." He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
