How to build a solid foundation for your shed without renting expensive equipment. I saved myself between $500 and $700 dollars doing the work myself on nights and weekends over 3 weeks. It was a lot of physical labor but I’m really happy with how it turned out!
After waiting about 8 years for this to move up on the list of larger projects we’ve saved up for, I decided to custom order the shed for two reasons:
1) I didn’t want to spend a month or so building it myself and
2) this way it would be guaranteed to meet my wife’s requirement that it “looked pretty” and matched our house
The dormer was an extra option we requested and is my favorite part, bringing the total cost delivered to about $3500.
Please give me some feedback in the comments and give it a thumbs up if you feel I earned it!

Good stuff man! My daughter is always out and about when i'm working too cool to see her involved.
That is one hellava effort with the shovel! Shed looks great! I think you nailed your wifes requirement of "looks pretty"
Wow a lot of work !!!! Looks great!!👍👍👍👍
Wow man you did an awesome job! love the time laps with the daughter I like the interaction. Great video you captured this process really well dude!
Damn that shed looks gorgeous
Excellent video and some really useful advice about how to approach this sort of task. Well done on all your (and your daughter's) hard work with a very sturdy result. Love the shed by the way and hope we perhaps get to see inside it at some point!
You the MAN brother awesome job and great tips to i like it very good ideas,I hit the BIG BELL so I can see all your awesome project bro and God Bless 🙂
Nice work man! Shows how hard work can pay off.
Oh! That's what you were doing when you explained the correct use of the shovel with respect to your father's teachings! Great.
The ramming of stones is one of the most stable things I've seen because they get caught up with each other, and the rain helps more than bother, to seat the whole. Nice way to level up using the beam, that's tiring to do. I think the containment wooden wall will not move over time by movement the ground, because you joined the first row with the second. That was a question to make you, when I saw the first part of the video. There will be no moisture down there and if it enters the rain, will drain perfectly between the stones down. Love the shed man ! Thanks for sharing !
Looks great! I wish i would have done this for my shed.
This turned out really nice, your yard is way nicer than mine!
