Ugh, the cost of that bike shed hurts. It's more money than my bike enthusiast father has ever had in net total assets (not accounting for pension, but yes accounting for house) + my entire net worth as an adult man in my thirties, and that's just a one for one number comparison without accounting for exchange. Hopefully it'll do it's job well and last forever, but it's just another reminder that whichever number I come up with to charge someone for services, it's not enough until it feels absurd, otherwise it'll get spent on some other totally asinine thing (not that a bike shelter is asinine, but the cost compared to the result does seem to be).
