    Looking to level area for small gravel parking pad

    Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! I'll review your post and let you know if I think of anything else. I was planning to keep it away from the shed so I can maintain the access underneath if needed. Probably a few feet away at least. Someday I could add a lean to roof off of the...

    Looking to level area for small gravel parking pad

    I have an area next to a shed that I would like to add a small gravel parking pad so we can store a trailer or extra vehicle etc. Ground is definitely not level. I was thinking of using railroad ties stacked in the back (low spot) and creating a bed to fill in with gravel. Looks like some use...

    Looking for a concrete resurfacing product

    What resurfacer have you had good luck with? I'm looking to do my front steps. Been looking at Quickcrete Re cap and Sakrete Flo coat. Also, Ardex CD looks to be about the best, but it's hard to find. Are there others worth looking at?

    Advice for adding outdoor soffit lighting

    I was just looking at 14/2 romex nmb , and it specs indoor normally dry locations. Is this the proper wire? The soffits are dry, just thinking there could be dampness.

    Adding shed gable vents

    Ah yes, you are correct. I will just notch the 2x4 where the vent will go, and add additional nails if necessary in the siding.

    Adding shed gable vents

    I built a shed end of last year and did not install the gable vents. I have the vents now and will be installing them. I would like to center them at the top of the gable ends, but there is a 2x4 from the roof truss that is centered. Can I just cut out this 2x4, and then add 2 additional...

    Concrete block shed foundation

    Rather than start a new thread, I figured I'd ask a slightly different question here. Should I be concerned at all parking my garden tractor in here during the winter after plowing snow? The floor is all pressure treated, but melting snow will surely be sitting on it. Maybe I should add a...
