    What do you think about using 2-3 inches of closed cell spray foam on my ceiling and adding Rockwool under the closed cell spray foam on my ceiling for extra/added insulation???

    I went to your page to see if you had all of these (with this specific shed) in a folder so they could easily be gone through. However, I don't see that. I just see them all over the place. So, can you at least rename the titles slightly? Just put "#1" and "#2", #3, etc. at the beginning of the title so we can watch them in proper order. Thank you.

A 15,000 Shed If You PAY CASH is 16,050 After Tax.. If you are Dumb Enough to make Payments, If Costs AROUND 28,000 and 34,000 ... Check For Yourselves, Look at the Rent To Own Payments Per Month and do the Math Yourselves.. I Get Blocked and Comments Removed when I Post this on Listings, and even here on the Tube they get removed. This one just might also.. So PAY CASH!

    Couple of questions: 1. Those 4 diagonal beams seem like they might be a structural necessity. Be curious how you design around that and make it livable. 2. I’d be curious if it was possible to double your square footage by putting these side by side and using most if not all to re-design the roofline to make for more loft space. Seems like you could get a taller loft space and create a good sized Master bedroom and and one or two small loft rooms on the other side with waist height closets on the sides… If that were possible this would be a huge winner for me as a more then tiny less then normal sized home…. With good storage and livability

      @UrbanToAcres 21 день тому

      That’s a great question. From my understanding, sheds on skids are portable buildings and aren’t taxed. However, when you add water, sewer, and electricity, I believe the structure becomes taxable. I’m not a tax pro, so please ask yours if you have one. But that’s how it is here in Texas. Hope that helps.

    remember rule one of wood...not contact with earth or concrete. Ever. Earth and concrete will retain moisture and wood will wick it into itself promoting rot--even in treated lumber. Always place your wood structure on some form or metal or high strength plastic that is anchored into your ground or concrete. Also, always make sure that your support goes beneath the frost line (if that applies) to mitigate heaving in the winter. How you do it is negotiable, but if you need something to be permanent, keep the wood off of moisture holding materials, and anchored in some fashion to a level below the frost line.
