What happens here
The project begins with the construction of the shed's floor frame. This involves laying out pressure-treated lumber, typically 2x6 or 2x8, for the perimeter beams and floor joists on a prepared, level surface. These lumber pieces are precisely cut to size using a circular saw and then fastened together using wood screws or framing nails, driven by a drill/impact driver or hammer, to create a sturdy rectangular base. Support blocks, such as concrete blocks or wood blocking, are strategically placed beneath the frame to ensure it is kept off the ground and perfectly level.
Goal: Create a sturdy and level floor base for the shed
