Yeah, it’s pretty funny to argue like that because there’s a reason big companies make so much money. It’s because bulk discounts save a shit ton of money. Arguing OP saved money in any way is just ignoring reality. It doesn’t matter if the materials are different or not, they’re gonna last just as long. I love DIYing stuff. Like I said. We built the foundation completely by ourself. It was better than any contractor would ever build it. We were able to buy the materials in bulk so we saved a bit, probably not as much as a contractor though, but due to the hours put in I’m pretty confident we did a better job (we didn’t do it ourselves because we wanted to but because of bad planning on our part). It felt good to learn how to lay foundation properly.

It’s plumb perfectly, because we built the foundation to within a sixteenth of an inch. Seeing as how OP didn’t bother to lift theirs at all, it most definitely will be more resistant to weather. In regards to cheaper materials? Sure, but you don’t need to overbuild a shed. I watched them install the entire thing, and yeah it’s just as strong as OPs. No clue why you think the roof wouldn’t hold as much weight. Rafters are pretty standard.

Also no clue why you mention Home Depot or Lowe’s in there. Tuff Shed isn’t owned by them and we didn’t go through HD.

Unless there’s something magical about OPs wood, it’s the same stuff as in any shed. Nice try though. Continue to recommend people wasting tens of thousands of dollars on something that should most definitely cost half that. OP built something strong, but wasted a lot of time and money and I guarantee it’s not outlasting our shed or any other prebuilt, especially with it sitting directly on that slab.

Yeah I mean OPs shed is beautiful, but they massively overpaid and spent a lot of time doing backbreaking labor they didn’t have to. Bet they learned quite a bit though! Oftentimes that is worth the cost alone.

same. We also got a shed (tuff shed) in 2020 and it is a 12x10 and cost 4k. We built the foundation ourself and yeah I'd say around 5-600 for that.

>If you had hired someone or a contractor with a small team to do this, you could have doubled or tripled your budget. And it wouldn't have been as nice or strong as what you built.

oof. probably not. We got a shed installed at the end of 2020 and it cost half this amount, with a lot more of a foundation (that we built) and the shed being larger. Tuff Sheds are built really well too. They just bring it in pieces and assemble on site. Took them less than 2 hours...

I think my brain must process that differently. If I have a word pop up that I don’t have “programmed” then I do default back to the character by character typing.

Macros is a great way to put it. That’s exactly how I feel about it, they aren’t individual letters anymore, they’re a macro to put a word on screen and it’s just easier for your brain to process it that way.

That’s pretty funny because I learned the exact opposite. You shouldn’t have to read the letters because you can type much faster if you can read words faster, so the only thing that will ever slow you down is unknown words. And it has matched my experience. Reading far ahead while typing means you can type much much faster. I type like 80-90 words a minute with actual sentences vs like 50 for random letters.

Last one literally has a demon child

I think it's installed at the height where the nozzle could rest on the ground to actually reduce stress on the hose. they just need a longer hose

first step is to soak it in a penetrating oil, something like Seafoam or Liquid Wrench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dObEK7V-TFU

Then you can either cut a slot in it with a dremel, use a screw extractor, or tap it out yourself using a screw tap kit (I put these in the order you should try this in.

If that doesn't work replace the whole thing.
