I have been building this shed for my dad over the past few weekends.

Below is the old pre-built shed, and what's left after 45 minutes.

It does look nice. Did you just throw it down on the grass, though? If so, it's going to be rotting from the ground up in about 2 years. I put my shed down over 3 treated 4x4s laid level on the dirt. No signs of rot after 4 years now.

It is on a 4" concrete pad. The OSB nearest the ground is wrapped in vinyl. Not required but an extra measure to prevent rot.

Wow. That's awesome man. I have one memory (in my limited experience of building) working on a woodshed. But I did it with plenty of other guys so it's really cool that you did that all by yourself. Well done.

Yes, it is right on the ground. And yes it will rot. Can't have framed walls less than 8 inches from grade for a reason

No, it's not on the ground. And no it will not rot. Thanks for playing though.
