any thoughts about laying plywood over the frame to go under the base of the shed?

I am need of some crative thinking. Last year, I built a DIY storage shed for my back yard. My landscaper created a pea gravel pad. He built a frame of 2x4s and filled it with pea gravel. He did isntall some draintile underneath the pea gravel for drainage. Since then, a number of problems...

I had my epoxy floor installed by a fellow forum member, Kyle, a/k/a scrpdg, I think is his board name. This was done last summer. We have had a horrendous winter in the Chicago area and have finally thawed, temporarily. I wanted to clean the floor of the salt, dirt, snow, etc, but my garden...

Is a skidloader like a pallet jack?

Bevis is correct. Looking at the shed, the water used to flow from left to right. Now it is backing up, so the water is not flowing at all. The pipes need to be relaid and the ground dug so that the pipes will be lower on the right side than the left, so the drain pattern will be restored...

sorry for the double post, I could not find that the original one was posted.

This is not directly a garage issue, but thought the friendly folks here could help. I built a DIY storage shed in my backyard. My landscaper built a gravel pad, framed by 2x4s. Underneath the gravel, he put in 3 black flexible drainage tile pipes as the location of the shed is directly on a...

I built a DIY storage shed in my backyard. My landscaper built a gravel pad fraamed with 2x4s for support. He also installed the black corrugated drain pipes as the area where the shed is is in the little drainway from the property line that then runs through the back of the yard. After the...

Having just tried powerwashing to get off the paint, I can tell you that it flies everywhere-- the walls, and on anything you have in the garage. If yougo this route, protect everything first!!!

Looks great! I have a simialr pattern with a different brand of epoxy, but used similar flakes and amhappy with the results.

You caught me!! Yeah, I did not have anywhere to move the freezer or cabinets, so I cheated. I was hoping no one would notice, but I should have known that the eagle eyes here would catch my indiscretion!:lol_hitti:lol_hitti

bigtorque can tell youbetter, but I think it was 50-60 lbs to cover about 425 sq. feet.

Thanks! I'd like to take credit for it, but the job was done by bigtorque. All credit goes to him.

Well guys, it's done and here are the final pics from the work done. It looks great and now I am letting it sit for a week before bringing anything in, so there is no doubt that it cures. Thanks for all of the help and suggestions.

Ron- I don't disagree with you. The paint on the outside of my house peeled off because the painter did not prep right and we had to hire a sandblaster to come and get all the paint off down to the bare wood. It seems, though, that the better quality product used, the less chance for problems...
