I-I'll show you!
I'll build the biggest bestest shed ever and post it on here
And you'll be sorry!
>>
Sort pieces by size, mainly the ones that are long enough to be vertical beams. You can piece the base together, but it's better if the uprights are all one piece. Cut them all the exact length you want

Clear off and level a spot with the same size footprint you want the shed to be

If you don't want to/can't pour concrete at least take some of the scrap pieces and make a floor

Frame up your walls on the ground, then raise them. OSB for the walls is fine. A lean-to roof is way way easier than making a pitched roof so make the front a little higher than the back
>>
>>2948066
no you won't

>>2948070
OP isn't going to do it, and there is probably not enough wood there to make an outhouse.

Can so too!
>>2948070
Yeah I looked up the frame and it looks like just some squares with planks in between them
I think I have a bunch of 7ft boards under those boards which are just over 12 ft so 7ft tall framing and 12x12 perimeter?
Could I build it on top of rocks or something? I can't afford concrete...maybe a tarp?
Gravel?
I will be living in it while I build my earthship using those windows in the background plus like 8 more, was gonna use it for the earthship framing but it's used deck lumber, it's not gonna pass gangstalker fed inspection
>>
>>2948083
Rocks would be better than letting your frame touch the ground
>>
>>2948090
Yeah and better than cinder blocks, I thought about it but the weight distribution and also hauling all that shit would suck, I'll see how level I can get it, is there some sort of tool that can flatten or shape rocks?
>>
>>2948038
Enough wood for a yurt.
>>
>>2948091
I see cinder blocks for free on CL all the time. They are great for small foundations because they are already flat.

buy cement deck pilons
bury them at the corners sticking out a bit
frame the base with that pile of lumber
>>
>>2948155
>They are great for small foundations
no they fucking arent
>>
>>2948157
Better than rocks.
>>
>>2948160
also wrong a bed of gravel would be superior to cinderblocks in this case. care to try again?

I genuinely, from the depth of my heart hope that you do and then can tell me how to do it. I could live in a log cabin, FUCK.
>>
Lay out all your materials and sort and inventory what you have to work with. Decide what size shed you want to build and then try to use what you have there to build it with...
>>
>>2948172
>sort and inventory
And post results.

>>2948213
I will once I can get the landsworth, still saving up at mumberg's house and can't empty the trailer on her watch
Should only be a few more months
>>
>>2948038
flip the trailer over and use it as a roof, use the longest 2x6 pieces to make legs, wrap it in tarps for walls. 3 hours tops.

This thread should still be up.
