I built a 8x10 outside storage with no top with 1 inch plywood for the floor and I put it on about 2 dozen 4x10x20 concrete blocks. You can see under the foundation like you can see under your house. I have a 9x12 fence built around it. So I want to fill in between the top of the foundation to...

How is you, who apparently have never stained, watching someone going to prevent someone from screwing it up? Anyone can tell if a fence it being stain right or not. Are there drips, spots after 15 minutes of drying, places missed, and the list goes on. You don't have to be an interior...

I went down and bought a pump sprayer and I'm having two labors coming over tomorrow so one can pump the stain and the other can even it out with the brush?

If I have 5 1/2 inch fence boards to make up my fence should I use a 5 inch brush which might be as fast as a roller and might do a better job than a roller?

I don't understand? What do you mean?

I have about 200 feet of fence I need stained. I will hire a labor by the hour but should I have him roll it on or brush it on? The fence is over 10 years old and I power wash it very good over a month ago. I don't want it sprayed. So if I pay a labor $10 an hour (It would be hard to screw up...

Timbers are 3x4x8 and I am using them as a border around my yard. I drill a hole into the timber so I can hammer rebar and hold it to the ground. So after drilling the holes in the center I look on the other side and it’s about ½ off so I hammer rebar to hold them to the ground and they tilt...

After reading 50 posts and searching the Internet it sounds to me that putting up a shed is going to be a nightmare for someone with no experience not to mention expensive. So I though I would just take my 10x12 peace of level land and just put mulch down to keep down the mud and put what I want...

Are these the block I should use for a foundation to set a shed on? http://www.lowes.com/pd_149060-15001-402040000300_0__?productId=3444522&Ntt=cement+blocks&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dcement%2Bblocks&facetInfo=

I understand so instead of having the 2x4's every foot I could have them every 18 inches. I will have over a hundred foot of 2x4's so I could get some cheap red bricks at Lowe's and for every foot of wood how much brick would I need. If the bricks are 9 inches than have 18 inches between them...

I still don't think I have it right. I want a 8x10 shed which weights about 200 pounds that I can buy at Lowe's for under $300 and I will hire 2 labors to help me. So I am planning on taking (2) 2x4's (11) feet long and put 8' 2x4's between them about every foot. Then I will put 1/2" plywood on...

Would it help if I put down a couple of inches of mulch? I never put a shed together so could I make a 9x11 foot foundation and set my 8x10 shed on it or does it have to be exact?

I'm not building a house just a simple little foundation for a 200 pound tin storage. There aren't any codes for it. It of course will be on level ground. It will never be moved. Again I don't know anything about this. So can someone tell me if I set a 8x10 feet foundation with 2x4. I will put...

I'm buying a 8'x10' shed at Lowe's but I don't know how to put down a foundation. I was thinking of 2x4 about every foot and then 1/2" plywood on top and that should that do it?

If I could cut off a 4" peace of a 4x4 and drill half way from one side and half way throw the other side because I can mark each side perfect then wouldn't that give me a jug to drill straight holes?
