New England B.S. Thread

Sure is!

I walked in thinking this is an odd dealer - the sales managers sit in the corner on a platform behind a barrier. The salespeople kept going up to them, whispering, printing a new paper, then taking it to their customer. It was like auto sales from 1970.

Then the sales guy was decent to deal with, and the truck was incredible, so I thought okay - if they're in the same ballpark as my numbers I'll buy this.

Then they were way way off, and the sales manager came out from his hole and basically told me my truck was junk so I walked.

 

This is a local place to me but they have a good end of year sale. My buddy has a shed from them and it's well built

I have a Yard Craft shed that came as a kit. Pretty decent.

Got mine there, not that size but it was a good price. I needed a wider doorway but it was simple to Sawzall the opening and build off the original door to cover it.

 

I had Tuff Shed build me one. The quality is excellent. I wish I had spent more time on the foundation but it was kind of a race against the clock for me because I had a surgery that prevented me from working on it for a while. I may eventually roll the shed forward on pipes or something, improve the foundation, then roll it back.

 

I miss the free pickup option Boch had. Apparently they'll still do it if you order something massive. They still offer the best discount, but the shipping kind of negates it. I ordered running boards for the wife's Highlander. I ended up buying from Harr in Worcester. Smaller online discount, but free pickup made it a better deal.

 

Boch let me pick up my driveshaft. I had to ask nicely.

 

I thought that they went out of business years ago. Maybe just the Canton location.

Academic for me since I've left MA in the rear view mirror.

 

The few times I ordered from them and picked up it was $7.95 for pickup which was annoying, but their prices negated it. I used them when they had a buy 3 get 1 tire deal for my beadlocks and it went swimmingly. I use Sullivan now for what I need since they're free to pick-up. However, when I bought my OEM LEDs I went through Toyota of Nashua as shipping was way less than tax would have been.

I thought most dealers were offering spend $75 get free shipping?

I've found Black Book usually is about where dealers are.[/quote] The last two vehicles I've traded in I got basically to the penny what their trade-in was. Granted, this was pre-COVID so it wasn't as much of a game the other way.

My shed is smaller but I bought a kit from Lowe's and was quite happy. I just had to build the base and since I overdo everything, I overdid it. I swapped the 2x4s for 2x6s, went 12" on center instead of the 16" or 24" they used and sleighed it on (4) 4x6s instead of 4x4s. The only thing I didn't love was that they had 24" on center which I revised to 16" on center. I had to put in an extra stud or two to make the measurements work, but 2x4s are cheap and it's a better built shed. It's not as easy as buying a pre-fab, but I got to play with a framing nailer which is the best worst thing ever for me.

 

No hookups here, but I’ve seriously considered a versatube setup.

 

Funny, I hadn't run that before. Just did now and that's the highest value I got yet.

Just dropped $88 bucks for a variety of bolts, crush washers, filters, etc and it was $10 shipping from NH. Not complaining that much as it's better than the $30 other dealers were charging but still. I like to go in person and just get them but with gas and the time sometimes the $10 is just cheaper...

Sorry its Ocean State sheds

 

To all the vets,

thank you. Hope you have a wonderful day

 

If your looking to do a foundation, scope Costco. They have kits, I think 10x20 was less than 5k. And if your putting a slab down, just anchor it to that, instead building the wooden floor.

I've been toying with building one up at my place.

 

Slapped a new battery in the Tacoma. Got it running again since June/July

 

Unsolicited plug….

My wife and I swung by downtown Littleton NH while waiting on some snows to be mounted. Went into this place.

Shaun sells his own photography as well as other touristy/craftsmanship items. Not the typical mass produced stuff. He’s really friendly and an entrepreneur in the true sense. If you or your partner are into such places, we highly recommend.
