Default Target Shed Build

Foundation preparation..

Due to financial constraints I had to use what I have as much as I can.
I would have chosen heat treated 6x6s but had to go with rr ties instead.
Decided to line the interior floor with mulch over a layer of weed guard plastic.
Used a piece of plastic landscape grass barrier across the front, rr ties across
the back.
On the low side where I needed 2 ties to level the base I used a pair of nails
as shown in the last pic. to anchor the two ties to each other about 18" from
each end of the tie.

Weight bearing walls will be on the up hill and down hill sides of the shed,
the back wall will not come in contact with the back tie.

Shed dims. will be 7' wide 6' deep and 8' high at the front 7'9" high at the back.
Roof will have a 2' overhang on the front. Total foot print of the roof will be
7'6" wide by 9' long.

Siding will not be 3/4 thick plywood as originally planned but instead be made
from used deck boards ran horizontally, lapped like clapboard.
