We wanted something that would look nice and last a long time so we got it all optioned out, ended up being about $6k. It sits on concrete levelling blocks that sit on the surface, nothing below grade. Skids go on top of that. Skids and flooring are all treated lumber rated for ground contact. Nobody does below grade or slab sheds, thats custom construction and requires all kinds of permits and $$$$ as well as additional restrictions on where on your lot you can build.
Hey, shed! Hell yes it counts. I've cleared out an area for one myself and I'm getting ready to build it (from scratch, don't really like any of the prebuilt stuff I've seen) - can't wait to get all that yard shit out of the garage. I really like yours and the whole match-the-house thing. How big is it (looks like 12-14x8ish?), and if you don't mind, what was the damage? Also, is the foundation just those cinderblocks that the 4x4's are sitting on or is it sunk deeper? Via the internet, I'm having a hard time telling what is actually overbuilt (zomg frost heave) or just how deep/solid the foundation for a shed has to go.
Its a little bigger than I need right now but as the family grows and takes over my home workspace Ill run electricity to it and use it as a small workshop.
