About the Author
I am planning a small side business constructing garden sheds. ?
The sheds will be built on site not delivered by a truck. I have also developed plans to convert these sheds into small cabins for hunting camps, retreats, etc. Are these products something you as a consumer would be interested in purchasing? Particularly the converted cabin idea. Or do you have ideas of how i can improve the shed to meet your needs. Thanks for your input, this will help greatly when final business plans are developed.
Thanks for all your input. it is a big help.
I like the cabin idea too. Make sure you have pictures and people are clear on prices. You could make up a brochure and deliver it to as many as you can. Also if you have a brochure you might try your local lumber company and see if they will put your brochure on the counter where people pay.
I like your idea!
