Didnt use the SS once in this project
Well-this has distracted me from the fun stuff. My small shop is quickly being over run by garden tools, lawnmowers, battery
recharging slots.
I had some pavers left over from my walkway to the shop..so putting them to some use to make a garden shed/platform under our deck.
Where i didn't have pavers, i had to buy 1.5 Ton of #57 stone as a drainage filler. Probably should have bit the bullet and filled the whole thing in
with pavers..but can still do that in the future.
Never done any construction/carpentry like this-hopefully it will work out !
Wife painted the 1/2 ply walls today, doing a rough in for the last photo...tomorrow doors and wall assembly.
My arms and back are beat lol.

Dang that’s looking good!
Re: Didnt use the SS once in this project
That looks great...I may steal your idea, including the treated 4x grid. I'm contemplating raising my woodshop and digging a storage basement, but I was trying to figure how to pour a concrete floor under there. I don't really need a concrete floor; I just want something other than plain dirt.

Pretty happy with the #57 stone. Good for drainage I'm told...and its actually quite hard/compact-they way we used it. I was worried it would slip underfoot, but its even stable enough to use small ladders on it. I guess because its captured on all sides, theres not much room for it to slip around.
