I promised Cop Car I would take pictures of the pre-2003 metal shed condition. This shed was moved from my last place over to this place in 2014. I forgot to take pictures of the side to the left - actually, I really wouldn't be able to take a picture that shows the horizontal crease that very well.
The front - sure it doesn't look too, too bad, but look at the sill for the door, it is completely buckled and it takes just a slight breeze to unseat the doors and have them swinging in the breeze. I'm constantly re-seating them. The lock is never locked, just helps the doors support each other
The back - you can't really see any of the creases. But you can see the section under the roof support on the right is no longer straight
The dip in the roof on the tent garage side. The worst of the dip is toward the front, so this picture does not show the full extent.
The dip in the roof on the tree side
The inside of the roof showing part of the dip as well as several slices in the metal from limbs, and perhaps the roof rake going thru
If it was just the front, back and sides, I wouldn't worry about it too much. But the dips in the roof are what worry me. They get worse every year even though I try to keep it roof raked when it snows.
Additionally, the floor is rotting and the only way to replace that is to remove the shed entirely - I'm sure that is a recipe for collapse.
I really don't need the building coming down on all the yard equipment.
Is this the place where I look sheepish, stub my toe, and say, "Looks good to me!" Thanks for the clarifying survey. I judged the book by its apparent cover. (I was trying to give you something about which to post?) I think it needs a new paint job - with structural paint.

Well, ya know, if this shed were in Kansas, I'd say it has a lot of years left.

OTOH: If your shed were in NM, it would be good for life! One can't hide from rust.
