North Carolina had a lot of snow last week, and some shed owners found out why the carport that they purchased had such a low price tag. That bottom line is - cheap doesn't hold up under pressure.

Penelope at our Goldsboro location just sold a metal building for a local factory to use as a control tower. The T. S.
