Here is the other option: 6x6 skids 20' in length. 8" in from the outside edge and centered. Frame is 2x6 with a double band joist around the perimeter.

Pump sounds expensive. I don't think a bobcat could do it, it is up a pretty good hill. Plus I'm not crazy about having a concrete truck drive up my hillside driveway, OK maybe the short pour truck (he's been up there before).

What would be more rot resistant? The sketched floor sitting on concrete pier supports or 2x6 framed floor that sits on 4x4 skids which sit on concrete blocks Both are off the ground a few inches. Soil is sand with rock (orange to coconut sized).

Dang... that is a wealth of knowledge. Shed will be a gambrel roof (lofted), peak 15' with 8' side walls. I have two options for this floor. 1. as I sketched above. 2. 2x6 frame that sits on 4x4 PT skids. I don't have 20' 4x4s available so i would likely run 14'ers next to each other with...

Inaccessible location via truck. It would be over 150 bags. Nobody seems to want to help when I mention that :)

I'm in the process of planning (overthinking) my 12x20 shed. Is there anything wrong with the following layout? 2x12 along the 20' dimension (3 of them along the 12' dimension). Then 2x6's 16 o.c. between. The blocks will be the post support pier...

I once had smaller critters that kept digging under my garage. I would fill the hole, they would dig it out again the next day. Then I put broken glass and dirt back in the hole, still no hole to this day and that was years ago.

I "think" it was poor prep on the original painting, likely dust. Nothing about this house was "sealed" prior to me moving in. I think they may have cut costs when it came to drywall and painting. Lots of tape seams can be seen, nail pops, and this paint chipping. I will be scraping the...

sand texture.

I'm not sure if it is moisture. These are both interior and exterior walls. One thing about the house that I suspect.. I live in SE WI. This was a vacation home, we had a police officer tell us about a visit he had here before we moved in. The ADT alarm was tripped when the propane stove...

I have paint adhesion problems all over the house. I scraped the walls down in one of the bedrooms, mudded, textured, and painted. Now one room looks good. I'm looking for opinions on how to do this. The picture below is my next project area, a hallway. I ended up with an ugly room for...

OK... maybe the "loft" area is not a good idea. Everyone is calling it a false ceiling. I thought that area could be storage (**** my wife insists we keep, and Xmas lights). Maybe just do shelving on one wall instead, then build a full height wall instead.

I would say half the width (12' side) is flat(ish) but then a hill starts. I have to be 10' away from the house which will put the one side into the hill. I figure that I will dig into the hill for the shed. I had thought about doing the foundation like that. I'm really undecided with what...

Do I need a double top plate on the 8' high wall? I modeled a single. Can I do the loft area like a truss? Or maybe it would be easier to build a wall and plate it with the 2x6 rafter (nothced or not) across the top (this is sounding easier now that I think about it).

snowmobile is over 10' long... dividing it would leave little room.

Profile updated. I live in SE WI, Washington County to be exact. The false ceiling is a loft area. This would be mainly cold storage.

I'm allowed up to a 12x16 shed on my property. Max height 15'. My wife is not a big fan of the "barn" looking sheds so I decided to dust of my Sketchup skills and design something that fits the house better since it will be about 10' behind the house. Ill likely be building this myself. I...
