I also have an Old Shed which was in bad shape because rotted wood due to water infiltration. I fixed it myself instead of hiring someone or buy a new one. It's a lot of hard word but at the end of day it's worth it for the effort. I also shared videos of how I repaired it.
You can use a simple bottle jack to help lift the shed. You can also utilize leverage (like a see-saw) to elevate/move the shed as needed. 1 4x4 post and some cinder blocks will do. Just need some muscle no tractor needed (but def helps alot!)
A buddy and myself flipped a different shed onto its backside and removed the floor that way and flopped it down onto a new floor. took alot but is doable
I just started a remodel on an 8x8. The flooring isn’t as bad as yours so I just made another subfloor on top of it out of 2x2s. My first structure build. Wish me luck
Yay top 676 and top 75 likes and comments. Thanks for posting the video. I have a sad shed that needs some work so I'm watching every video on this topic that I can.
I used a floor jack to elevate mine. Part of it was so rotted the floor was easy to separate. I’m having trouble on the other side though. The building is insulated and has plywood walls inside. I don’t really wanna tear the inside walls out. I’m thinking of running a sawzall to cut all the nails and screws between floor and wall.
yes bella !me to, no tractor in my future . but thank you so much i would have replaced all my sheeting instead of just cut off the 4 inches up from the bottom !!! great idea and will save about 30-35 dollars a sheet for treated plywood . cant wait to tackle the shed now. also watched the door to shed video and may change this up ... great video ..
If I have a tool at my disposal, why not use it?! this can still be done without a tractor. Use 2x4's and cinder blocks to use as a lever and you can easliy flip it on end. Ya gotta work smarter not harder!
I believe the tractor gets brought up a lot because that gives people an excuse, so they won’t have to put in the effort. lol And some of the other comments, wow! More power to you sir and keep up the good fight.
Dang, I have a shed I have to repair. Part of the floor needs replaced but I don't think I will replace all of it. My shed was made out of Hardy board for the exterior, it's mostly held. Water got in on part of the floor near the door. I hope I don't have to replace the whole floor, I don't have anything to lift it up.
Tonight it is 2 minutes before midnight and I'm rolling a blunt! Getting ready for tomorrow's adventures of this week's work punch list! you started it off talking about you're doing all of the remodeling on this entire shed demonstrating all of the illustrated problems if you think you're doing it for $100 I'm already upset with you but I will continue to watch this video as it is already 1 minute and 27 seconds into it here we go 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
as many have commented, I was going to replace my T11 half or all. I love the 4" idea. That will save $$$. What is rule of thumb on some kind of critter guard around the shed? some report that you need a cat size opening to keep mice out but I want to keep the possums out.
Thank's for all the idea's. I've just discovered your channel. Have you ever restored an old " STEEL SHED " with plywood ? It's gonna be my next project in a few day's ! 😎👍
Subscribed! Great video. I love the simple application of levers (crowbar and wedge) to remove the bottom. Would the old floor joists be good for upcycled furniture, or are they too rotten?
I have an old shed that I want to move and rebuild pretty much same size but I was thinking of putting it on pavers instead of having a wood floor since I'll be welding in it occasionally. But not sure exactly how I'll do that or if it's possible.
Yes! Thats what most people think, at first. A little TLC goes a long way. Most of the structural parts are fine, it's just the sheathing and aesthetics that need fixed.
I used barn paint. Last decently long and is super cheap compared to exterior paint. only available in white and red unless you can get them to tint the white. never asked though
I think of time as, instead of vegging out at the TV, I'll spend my time on doing things to benefit my time by fixing/building. Its not a job where I'm expecting to be paid. Its a benefit of time well spent
This video is ridiculous. Only $100 if the shed is away from property, raised AND you have access to a bobcat . Boo this man For those who can't lift the shed away from the base , you will need to cut along the perimeter where the floor meets the base and flush cut it. Side up some joist runners and run new plywood
to buy a new shed like this would have cost between $800-$1000. to build one would have taken 2x longer and been between $300-$400. By just fixing it up a little I saved tons of time and money.
