Confucius Say: Man Who Stand On Toilet, Get High On Pot

By Sherman Buildings

So there I was at the Mora Muskrat Festival, elbow-deep in a bucket of questionable “muskrat nuggets” (don’t ask, probably just fried dough), when Glenn Blamstead, in a Hawaiian shirt loud enough to scare off actual muskrats, challenged me to a cornhole duel. Picture Glenn, all sideburns and swagger, tossing beanbags like he’s auditioning for the Cornhole Olympics. I flubbed every shot, landing one in the mayor’s lemonade. That’s when it hit me: my life’s a mess, and I need a new building to store my dreams (and maybe my dignity). Not some shady “pot” from Confucius’ fortune-cookie wisdom—just the sky-high rush of a Sherman Pole Building, or maybe one of their stick-built beauties. No toilets required, just a vision and Sherman’s knack for making it real. Let’s dive into why building with Sherman is funnier than Glenn’s festival antics and twice as rewarding.


Building Your Dream, Minus the Nuggets


The Muskrat Festival is chaos wrapped in glitter—think screaming kids, a petting zoo with one surly goat, and Glenn trying to sell “muskrat-themed” flip-flops. My backyard shed? Just as chaotic, overflowing with rusty tools and a lawnmower that sounds like it’s auditioning for a death metal band. I needed a new space, and Sherman’s got options that make you feel like you’ve won the festival raffle. Pole buildings are like the cool uncle who shows up with fireworks—fast, flexible, and ready for anything. Stick-built? They’re the dependable aunt who bakes award-winning pies, solid and timeless.

Whether I’m dreaming of a garage for my vintage Vespa or a workshop to hide from Glenn’s sales pitches, Sherman lets me design it like I’m doodling on a napkin, no engineering degree needed. The result? A building that’s sturdier than Glenn’s resolve to “go viral” with his muskrat dance video. It’s not about picking sides—pole or stick, both get you that Confucius-level high of a space that’s all yours, without the festival-level heartburn.

Laughing Through Minnesota’s Wild Weather


Up here in Minnesota and Wisconsin, the weather’s got more mood swings than Glenn Blamstead after losing at cornhole. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s snowing so hard you’re wondering if you accidentally moved to the Arctic. Sherman’s buildings—pole or stick—are like the festival’s prize pig: they don’t flinch, no matter what’s thrown at them. Pole barns stand tall like Glenn’s sideburns, shrugging off blizzards with ease. Stick-built structures? They’re just as tough, like the time Glenn tried to “taste the storm” and ended up with a face full of hail.

I picture my new barn holding strong while Glenn’s makeshift festival tent cartwheels across the county. Whether it’s a pole barn for my tractor or a stick-built shed for my secret comic book stash, Sherman’s got the know-how to keep it standing. It’s the kind of high that comes from knowing your stuff’s safe, even when the sky decides to reenact a Viking saga. Plus, it’s a heck of a lot more fun than dodging Glenn’s flip-flop sales at the festival.

Saving Cash, Not Your Sense of Humor


Building a new space shouldn’t feel like selling your kidney to fund Glenn’s next harebrained venture (Muskrat Moonshine, anyone?). Sherman’s approach is like finding a $20 bill in your festival fanny pack—pure joy, no strings attached. Pole buildings save you cash by keeping things simple, like skipping the fancy foundation Glenn thinks he needs for his “art installation” (it’s just a pile of old tires). Stick-built options? They bring that classic vibe without breaking the bank, perfect for a cozy office or a barndo to escape festival chaos.

Sherman’s team walks you through the process like they’re guiding you to the best food truck, dodging red tape and making sure your build fits your budget. One guy I met at the festival built a pole barn for his hot rod collection cheaper than Glenn’s annual corndog tab. Another went stick-built for a craft shop, and it’s now the talk of Mora. Either way, you’re saving enough to buy Glenn a new shirt—though he’d probably pick another neon disaster.
