I'd find out if it will fit on the 2019 before you sell it.

I'm taking Macy out, be back shortly.

That is an expensive upgrade for a shed, but if it makes her comfortable and not beatching.. It's money well spent...

Not really a shed but a 24'X24' addition for his wife to do her crafts in.

Macy didn't do anything but bark up a gutter down pipe tail that she saw a ground squirrel run out of today.

The tails on the shed are easy, they're not screwed together making it easy to take off and dump the ground squirrel out. Then watch them both run. LOL
