Building a shed . Tips / ideas ?
Mind you last thing I built was a sandwich
Not trying to pour a concrete slab so gonna have to dig some trenches it seems Any of y’all did carpentry ? I envision a porch on this bitch |
Why no concrete?
You can build it up with a ramp depending what you’re using it for. I’ve built one just on concrete and one up a bit with a ramp which was just for a lawn mower and a few tools I assume this is just storage and you don’t really want a porch on it lol Also if you havent already make sure you don’t need a permit for whatever you end up wanting to do |
yeah I could give you some tips and show you exactly what to do in real life... but with that rough amount of info hard to do ...
matters the demensions you're talking about... and how your foundation is and the lay of ya land... like if you live in a wet region that rains a lot... before you do it you might need a concrete foundation... or even if you do and you don't give a fuck, then you don't even need the foundation but just be aware that the grounds gonna settle... which will eventually rip ya shed apart |
depends on how long you want or expect the thing to last... and what type of climate you live in...
|
if you've never ever built anything like that in ya life though... watching youtube help me videos isn't going to work.. just find someone that kind of semi somewhat knows what they're doing (like me) in real life and get their help for a little while won't cost much.. and then figure out the rest on ya own.. like lumber costs from home depot or payless cash ways or whatver ya local shit is.
|
pick a mexican up from your local home depot, or if you don't have that option just hire some quick journeyman off craiglsit or something, to give you basic info for a day or 2 cheap as hell... and then figure the rest out for yourself. Or if none of the above applies to you.. wait until you have enough money to hire people to completely do it for you.

I'm the perfect example of jack of all trades master of none. I've roofed houses both regular houses and industrial care lots. I've dry walled houses... ripped the plastic runner baseboard off a huge hospital and then repleaced it (that takes no skill). Ive framed houses.. put in fake wood paneling that connects together on peoples kitchen floors, which sounds easy but its not. Put in peoples carpet etc.. usually when I did these things though I had a boss.. who most of the time didn't teach us much, more so was like... screw that in there bang that hammer down there and repeat. No one was actually trying to teach us shit, just grunt somewhat unskilled labor.
But yeah if you don't have any knowledge at all, and don't have the right tools don't even try it if you want something of quality. I'm pretty good at things and have decent experience.. and I bet if someone challenged me to build a dog house it'd come out looking semi retarded. |

and yeah ... but still you could do a concrette slab ya self... just look at the dementions and get the cheapest wood to hold it in place... its not hard to mix concrete if its just a small amount but yeah if you have 0 skillzz in that department... better to just leave it alone and wait until you have enough money to pay pros to do it.... going into even a small project like that with no experience you might just end up frustrating yourself and ending up with nothing but anger and a loss of $. |

Dunno the dimensions or how to work the porch in. But it’s a must have This is mainly for smoking weed and playing Xbox In Doubt permits will be an issue I own all the land and no one is in eye shot |
