The 50-Plus Room - for

[Wonderer67]

It’s 19° out and my wife had me fill up the bird water dish naked! (it’s a heated dish but needs to be filled daily).

I was in just my boots in the snow.

Hope I get laid for my good deed. She took pictures and because the leaves are down, the neighbors could have potentially seen me.

We spend a fair amount of time nude by the pool in the summer months, but the trees keep things mostly private.

Good god did we get a laugh out of the pics she took!!

 

[RosevilleCAguy]

Make her do it next time. Would likely get more neighborly attention.

Awe. Sweet pup!

He is soooo sweet

Has anyone ever Installed a shed and preped the site with gravel? Can it be done in the winter? What do I need to consider?

My dog and cat, Toby and Soda, both love me!

Probably not wise. The ground will settle under the weight of the structure after the thaw.

OK, now that we've got things rolling here, let's see what we can find out about each other! Here's some questions I hope everyone will take the time to answer…

1) 65
2) College professor
3) Applied for Medicare this year
4) Still married, but no sex for the past 20 years
5) Maybe slightly more (since I finally gave up trying for sex with my wife)
6) Yes. I would then be able to start lifting weights seriously at age 32 instead of at 59.
7) Wiser about my relationships and priorities
8) Takes longer to recover from injuries
9) Less (two)
10) Twenty years younger

Hi everyone. 60 yo male. In a sexless marriage, only play online. Straight but curious and always open and non-judgmental.

Can write more later, but wanted to say hi.

Want to chat?

 

[Thin59]

67yr old male. New England. Been long time just jerking off. Open to anything. Love my dildo, and really miss licking pussy.

And I almost never turn down a pm, women or men.

Want to chat?

Yeah that is what I was thinking. I need a shed. Storage of my yard stuff has become a problem. So unless someone wants to buy a John deer mower with about 140 hrs on it.... I have to figure it out.

I just bought a shipping container for $2600. Way cheaper then a building, more secure and lasts longer!

We have ordinance no shipping containers within city limits

Shipping cans are spendy up this way. $6k for a 20' standard height one tripper. Dented units can be had for $5k.

Yes.

I don't know. Depends on the terrain but the biggest thing that comes to mind is whether the ground is frozen, and if so what it's like when it thaws. The sheds we put up here were on pier block foundations and gravel both. The gravel foundations were on a slope we leveled out by adding fill to extend the flat area. It's worked out fine despite the variable weather and excessive rains we've had since doing the work. The size of the shed may require a concrete pad but that is a local building code issue.

Again a few variables. Mostly things to consider with any structure, eg slope, drainage.

When I was a kid we had dachshund dogs and they are great bu=owing snugglers.... favorite place was behind your back or behind your thighs..... ....they were sweet

Sounds like ME!

I had the same thought but it's impossible to tell without more information. A local contractor would be the best to answer the question.

There are lots of places that will deliver finished sheds to your site on a roll-back truck. Invest LOTS of time prepping the pad. Use mason's line to ensure it is perfectly level or over time, the doors won't seat properly. use crusher run or stone dust for the base and pretreat the leveled soil with Pramitol before dumping the stone.

I could have bought a new one for $3600. That price was delivered and we picked the one we wanted

Yeah I am trying to do due diligence. My dad bought me this damn John dear riding lawn mower... I don't even mow my yard. Now I have to find a place to store it. It was in village cold storage and all of a sudden it is parked behind my house and when I ask it is "oh yeah we need to get that ...we will do it tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.... guess I got my answer and I will never ask again. I better stop now or it will be a rant. SO..... I am thinking I will wait til spring and figure it out. I am going to call around and ask some site prep people what they do. I want a secure foundation and since I live in a place where it can get wet (everyone around here has their buildings sitting in the dirt and rotting floors) i want to do it right. Another consideration is how are these sheds anchored? Do they need to be?

I have to agree. I am building a new deck and I’d love to do it now while things are slower, but I would also encourage you to wait till after the ground thaws.

What’s level now, may not be after the ice thaws.

 

[Wonderer67]

A friend of mine owns a shed company, and as one of the earlier posters mentioned, a lot of them do the site prep as well.

Maybe ask their opinion and check reviews.
