Since my stepdad originally got his own 8'X15' Lifetime shed I figured it was my turn to get one, and I got really lucky with this one because it was the floor model. I got it for only $940.00 at my local BJ's Wholesale Club. This will be my official "mancave". It took about 2-3 months to put up with letting the pressure treated wood floor dry out, then coating it with a special wood oil that a member of MTF recommended for about a week then letting that dry for a couple days, then the real work started in November. The shed has been up now for 2 months and currently has 2 tractors in it, my tow behind trailer/cart/wagon to hook on the back of my tractor, 7-8 bales of straw to put in the trailer, a leaf blower from my grandfather I gotta fix, and 10-12 bicycles I gotta fix too. So needless to say at this time I ain't got no more room for more tractors, yup it sure does fill up fast lol.

Here are some pictures of it on my trailer home from the store..... 1643151865211.jpeg1643151883731.jpeg1643151899431.jpeg1643151920507.jpeg1643151935183.jpeg1643151951303.jpeg1643151968352.jpeg
 
Now that the main frame is built, it's now time to get the tree stump out of the way so we can get the frame level. We got some of it with the chainsaw and a shovel but we had to rent a stump grinder to completely get it all out.....

We lit the root on fire because we couldn't get it out with a shovel or the chainsaw, but that didn't work either so we used the stump grinder we rented.....

Now that the drainage project is done, and the stump is gone it's time the main frame is moved into its final resting place and put 3 more pieces of 2X4 in the center of the frame. I got 3 of these....

This is the pressure treated plywood my stepdad told me to get, these were expensive. I needed 4 of these which cost about a total of $215.00 all together.....

Now that the floor is screwed in the wood and my trailer is starting to look like a trailer again, it's time to start building the actual shed. Please excuse the snowblower and the tires, they were there to hold the walls up and in place because it was windy and cold that day we were putting it up.....
