Pleasantly surprised by a Costco-bought Gorilla Shed purchase

By now you all know that I am not as cool as you and I tend to purchase or hire work to be done at my North Central Wyoming half acre. I work full time and am often gone for weeks drilling municipal water wells around the state, so I make this way work as best I can.  My chicken building was a 10x12 repurposed, floorless, CBM injection well shed made of 2" square tubular steel and metal siding, with nasty, rusty sheet insulation in places where the mice had not yet chewed.  I got if for free and gladly built a floor and foundation for it, previous discussion, and my hens liked it enough for 5 or 6 years.  I wanted something nicer, less rusty etc. so I shopped and found that a few times each year, Costco includes free delivery and installation/building of Gorilla sheds.  I saw that an 8'x 8' was $2800, delivered, installed and primed.  Both ears went forward instantly, and I purchased 2 of them. I had a vision that would have required a ton of infrastructure change in 3 weeks, to include about 30 feet between the sheds with a nice roof and 1/2" square metal mesh (construction fabric?) walls, so I managed to sprain an ankle, then we received lots of snow and cold weather and things just kept on hitting the fan.  Needless to say, I settled on building a 27' x 9' gravel filled 'foundation' for the two skid structures the last weekend before the delivery day.  These buildings are very tall and very "cute" and my installer guy, Jarod, said they build a bunch of these on the rez for homes.  Makes sense.  I could definitely see a loft bed, kitchenette and lounge area fitting in there.  Anyway.  I will attempt to attach photos.  The sheds have great door latches and come with keys.

These were just installed 2 days ago. This is the stock appearance, as they have not been caulked and painted yet.  But I am impressed and hope that the hens will love one of these, the other for other things. I built the foundation because this quarter of my lot gets flooded by the neighbor several times each year, so my new Hügelkultur berm is also under construction.  The railroad ties couldn't thwart the flood waters.  This is just an FYI if you need a quick and easy shed or home or guest house, etc. too.  BTW, the old building has been stripped down to the tubular and will become a huge wood shed, and house my log splitter and chainsaw as well. It will be nice to have my firewood in one spot for once.  Let me know what you think!  I know that $2800 is nuts to spend for some people, but shopping sheds that could be delivered to the back of my property proved to be impossible without employing a crane.  I will be moving these around - skid structures for the win, once I can get the rest of the yard re-organized.

On a homestead, dry storage is pure gold. You can't have too many sheds.
