Since Matt and I started buying storage sheds up for auction last October, I’ve gotten a LOT of comments that hinted (or outright asked) for me to detail more of the process. So today, I’m going to deliver just that! First, for some background, storage sheds go up for auction when the person owning the …
Winters are always kind of a tough time for me anyway (what with the limited sunlight and the below zero temperatures outside that cut into my running and the nearly constant feeling of being cooped up indoors), but the beginning of 2017 has been especially tough.
