Brother is coming to visit for a few days. We haven't had visitors here in years, so we don't maintain a spare bedroom. Had to clear the Pain Cave and improvise.

Suncoast storage shed via Costco.

The instructions say "Assembles in three hours".

With a team of SIX experienced shed builders, perhaps.

You have been warned.

Looks like a decent shed, at least.

Roofers are coming out next week to replace my roofing shingles and gutters. I asked for an estimate to replace the shingles on the roof of my shed so they'd match the new ones on the house. They quoted me $500 to add that on. I was like, WTF, I only paid $500 for the whole shed!

$500 to put shingles on a small shed? That's like going to the dealership and asking about a new VCG...insane.

My brother is coming out this week, so I'll have some help. He's an ace with this stuff. And the things I need to put up in them is all lightweight stuff.

I bought this and will keep this or the Ibanez; whichever one works best for my hand and, more importantly, sounds best.

Have you been playing awhile or relatively new? Just wondering, hand size can be overcome with experience. Obviously a smaller neck can help, but on a bass it's more so understanding and flowing with the movement.

I'm a newbie. Been seriously playing almost a year at church. I haven't really ventured to more complex music and never really learned music theory. I played clarinet in high school, but that was over 45 years ago (I was pretty good back then; 1st chair!) and I can't read music anymore. The church music is just notes over the song lyrics.

I got ya, that is what I figured. My advice would be to just cycle through scales until you feel comfortable - up and down the fret board. Your fingers don't need to stretch all the way to the correct position without moving your hand - hand movement is fine as long as you can get to the next note in time.

Goodluck!

Picked up the Gretsch today. So far I really like it. MUCH easier for me to play. I'll still compare it to the Ibanez, but the Gretsch is presently in the lead.
