Need more storage space so I can get a car or two in the garage and still be able to walk around. Decided to get a storage shed.

First I needed to build a retaining (With my brothers help) wall to get a flat area;



Railroad ties will work for that, filled it up with gravel;



Got a 4x4 foundation to get everything flat;




Called the shed people, the 4x6's went first;



Followed by the 2x6 flooring;



Walls were prebuilt at their place;



"Finished" shed;



Let it weather for a while then decided to stain it;





Added some signs;

And a gas pump for a night light;

Nice daytime hiding place for Skunks/Racoons underneath!
I'd have done a concrete slab above grade [been easier to ride mower in/out!].
Throw a couple of Army Cots inside for your Brother & Dad after the BBQ Drinking Party.

Take another picture from the angle of your earlier 'finished shed' photo, now you got the porch decorated, so we can see the whole effect in one photo. Even before you added the cool stuff, it looked lovely nestled in the trees...
