Shed Project, Part 3, Foundation, Final

Here is the last installment of the foundation series on my shed project. I have placed a total of 6 cinder blocks in cement. Three along the long 16' side of the shed.

I've done a few projects such as building the flooring for a shed and some concrete/river rock siding, as well as fireplaces. Being a novice at all of this I do search for info on diy's... I happened on this, and found it quite cute due to your little helper ;) I am a bit confused though. You state in the vid that the long wall is 16' yet in the last comment you made, you do show it to be a finished product of 12x12. Is there a reason for the dramatic difference that I should be aware of?

@Margot530 Hey, Thanks for watching. I had originally planned to build a 12x16 shed in the spot that I had cleared out, but.... I checked on my counties zoning laws and I needed to keep the shed 25 feet away from the side property line. I would have been too close with a 16 foot deep shed, so instead, I moved my 12x12 shed there (which got me 25 feet away instead of 21 with the 16 foot shed). I had a 16x24 garage built where the 12x12 shed used to sit.

and did u build the shed yourself or did u buy one and have it deliverred

I built it myself. I put these blocks in the ground to keep it up off the dirt and poured concrete inside the blocks to secure them. Its a 12x12 shed so it does not need tons of support. See the other videos of mine to see how I moved the shed on top of these blocks.

@davi200 Thank you so much for your quick reply...awesome tip to check ahead on the zoning laws, and great job on your part for rearranging your outlay so nicely. I do hope you are happy with the final results ;) Kudos!
