your hoa will answer this question for you

What’s the HOA situation?  Def go with red if you can.

I vote for building a new shed from reclaimed *red* barn wood

33's posting in the lawn thread would indicate he is unbound from the shackles of a hoa

No HOA.  Lib, I don't know how to build stuff.

So so far it looks like barn red is the clear choice.  I also want the 2 front doors to have those X's on them (maybe just the bottom half).  You know what I mean? Lib, you're good at building stuff, how do I do that?

Just nail some wood in an x and paint it white

Be sure to buy a 5-gallon bucket of barn paint from Orschelns or TSC to make this authentic.

You could also use screws if you want

There is a Sherwin Williams color called "Red Barn" that I was going to use.

This is the answer

I think you're just bragging about the bad ass red shed you're going to have.  You clearly didn't need any assistance.

how big of a shed are we talking here?

This is the answer

Yeah, and then he can use it to paint accents in his guest bedroom/bathroom after!

Pro tip for authenticity: for application thin 1 gallon of paint with 1 ice cold can of Busch Light

throw a bench and a rack in there and call it the shred shed

Paint the house red like a barn.  Then paint the shed the same color as the house.  Problem solved.

It's pretty good sized.  Are you wanting specific feet and stuff because idk?  But I would say it's medium to medium/big in size.

Ha.

I would love that.  And hang from the ceiling and do crunches like on Rocky IV.  I would get so ripped, and probably grow a sweet beard too.  Unfortunately my lawn mower is in the way.

[meow meow]

how big is medium to medium/big?  how many cars could you fit in this thing, if it was completely empty?
