I need to finish relocating my shed. With a break in a rainy weekend, I got the new footers poured and moved it a step closer to its final place on the new homestead.
The gravel between the runner supports also cuts down on the possibility of vermin taking up residents under the shed. Nicely executed. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely. When I built the shed, I stapled a galvanized mesh across the bottom of the floor joists. So even if they try to make a home, they can't get up into the skid. Those little rascals think everything is built for them 😀
If you have never mixed cement in a wheelbarrow you don't know how much work it is. Your arms feel like they are ready to fall off. I couldn't believe how easy the forms came apart. You do very good work, keep your back healthy! Great video, look forward for the next one.
Someday I'll own a little mixer. Until then, I am the mixer 😀. Using the edger helps the forms come off a lot better, and I tap it all over with my hammer to help it separate. Thanks for watching. The next one will be out in a week or so.
Love the content. Your channel is going to blow up and It’s kind of cool to of been in on the first couple of thousand to subscribe……. Not sure why, but it’s cool.
That's what my dad suggested. I think I might try a lumber ramp first, and then I don't have the hassle of moving the pipes or logs around. We'll see how it plays out.
Good job making footings base for the shed. It should work out well as you have thought through the whole project. Looking forward to the video where you mount the shed on its new base.
I was wondering if you thought of using round logs to roll the shed along to the footings. They may prevent damage to footings and the shed. You could ramp gravel to enable the logs to roll up on top of the footings and use the loader to lift off the logs when in the right location. What do you think?
That's what my dad suggests, I think I'm going to try a lumber ramp first. I think the ramp doesn't have the hassle of getting the logs out when you're done. We'll see what happens.
So jealous of how easy it appeared to dig those wholes.. tons of rocks over this way! Great video glad I joined. Really enjoy watching folks from my own backyard so to speak. You watch any of Andy's Little Homestead? Believe he's out near mancelona area.. I would like to do videos but I'm not that creative nor do I like talking lol
A perk of being near the lakeshore is that it's all sand. The downside of being near the lakeshore is that it's all sand 😄. I'll have to check out Andy's channel. Thanks for watching!
I might be wrong but Ive been told that the main advantage of smooth concrete pillars is to have those sitting under freezing level so when topsoil freezes and moves up and down (frost/defrost) your shed on pillars would stay same level.. (I helped friend of mine build a cabin north canada and we had to make holes 6 feet deep (5 feet freezing) and used some thick paper tubings so pillars would be very smooth so soil could move freely).... making those footings on top attached to pillars and sitting on topsoil risk moving whole structure or Im mistaken?
You're not mistaken, I thought about that for a while. The reason I connected them was so that I could push the shed across the top. It was the best solution I could come up with. I tried to combat the frost heave by stripping the topsoil off down to clean sand. Then I built back up with compacted gravel, sloped to shed water, and hopefully reduce moisture content under the shed. I also tried to angle my post-hole diggers to make the hole wider at the bottom than the top. The bell shape is supposed to help resist upward movement. And since the shed isn't fastened down, I can always shim it to maintain level in the future. You are correct, but I think it'll do for a tool shed 😄
@@GrumpyToadCreations Well I hope it works out. But seriously if you ever plan for a cabin or a house its better to overbuild.. maybe 18 inch tubing under frost level... and the best advice I ever got from my father: never buy a property or build in a valley or at water level near a lake or a river. its just not worth long term.

If Michael Jackson was still alive he’d be some jealous of your stone tamping footwork. So smooth and effortless. 😆
My wife agrees 😄

Super cool design with super cool craftsmanship. .tHanks for the video
Dude, you are so smart, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos over the past couple days
I appreciate that. I don't mean to tell anyone how to do their work, I'm just sharing the way I do mine. I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
looks great
Shawn, I hope more people go spot your videos! Happy tHanksgiving!
Plus you do good work. Craig
Thanks Craig.

That's kind of you to say. We'll see how it pans out.
Interesting way of doing the foundation, not what I wouldve thought of. I'm curious how youll get it up there, good luck.
Lmao they cant do a damn thing about this place.... Keep it Pushin!
That was a good idea to make the framing for the pads! Enjoyed watching and listening to you! Thanks for sharing!
Maybe use short sections of pipe to roll shed on footings? Kinda how the pyramids were built!

Thanks, I'm tackling that adventure this weekend. The video should be out in a week or so. I'll see ya then!

Hey Very entertaining. Thanks. Is your dog a Sheba ? Thanks for sharing. Craig. Pa.
Yep! I have two Shiba Inus, if you watch close ones a little fatter than the other. Real good dogs, I love em.
