1 Day She Shed

What happens here

The video introduces the project: getting a pre-fabricated studio office shed from Heartland Sheds. The creator's primary responsibility is to prepare and level the ground where the shed will be placed. This involves clearing dead trees from the designated area and using a Kubota SVL 97-2 skid steer to move and level the earth. The ground must be level within a tolerance of plus or minus 6 inches. A laser level is used to accurately check the grade and ensure the pad is ready for the shed's foundation.

Goal: Prepare a level and clear pad for the shed's foundation

  • Kubota SVL 97-2 Skid Steer Kubota — Clearing trees and leveling the ground

light now I just ordered a building online off from a website and they claim that they're going to come out to my site deliver the building fabricate it right there install it and paint it in one day the only thing that I have to do is get the ground prepped and ready within a tolerance of plus or minus 6 in let's see how this goes now I'm going to jump in here cuz I didn't just go and buy any old shed that I could find off from a lot somewhere now this one came from Heartland shed and this is the studio office shed the one I got has a set of 72in French doors that open wide open which allows me to convert this shed into a whole lot more than just a shed the sidewalls are 2x4 construction and the roof system is 2x6 and it has a galvanized steel roof now the outside of the shed is wrapped in smart Side by LP or Louisiana Pacific and that is backed by an IND industry-leading warranty these guys from LP have a 5-year labor and material coverage warranty but they give a 50-year material guarantee here's where things get really good it uses a heavyduty treated floor and this is built Way Beyond industry standards and that's the key element that I was looking for because if the government ever decides to step in and tell me that whoa whoa whoa I'm not allowed to have this permanent structure on my land that I pay taxes for what I can do then is I can raise that building up slap a set of skids underneath it and now I can call it an ice fishing house now these guys from Heartland sheds not only do they just come out and drop it off but they assemble it and paint it right there on your own job site all in one day let's just see how this goes now before they come out my job is to set the building pad and I've got to get it plus or minus 6 in so the area that I want to set this building pad up has a couple dead trees first thing we're going to do is knock those over then we're going to level that pad out so when the guys from Heartland come in all they got to do is what they do best build a building and I want to see how well that goes for them without any extra complications so I'm trying to get this building pad dialed right straight in we're just going to use it as a relative point so put the laser up we're just going to say this is our generalized point right here we don't even need a number right there now this is our our point so put your finger on the stick right where that is beeping that's our point from so now from that point if we go up or down we know…
