I am in serious need of a shed or some type of out-building for my lawn and garden equipment and for storage space.
I am leaning towards building it myself (when/if the money becomes available). If I do build it, is there a particular size that makes the best use of 4x8 plywood sheets? 16x16? 16x20? Money is a factor, so I can't go real big.
My other question concerns the foundation. Does anybody have a guestimate on what the cost would be for a 16x16 or 16x20 concrete pad? I suppose another option would be to pour some footings and frame the floor on top of that. I wonder how the cost of a framed floor would compare to a 4" concrete pad?
Any other advice or tips for me?
Thanks.
