What happens here

With the shed in its approximate final position, the crew proceeds with fine leveling. This crucial step involves using high-lift jacks, placed on the low side of the building, to raise the structure. Workers then carefully slide concrete blocks underneath, building up stable piers to achieve a perfectly level foundation. Wooden wedges are strategically driven in between the blocks and the shed's frame for micro-adjustments and to ensure everything is tight and stable. This ensures the building is supported evenly across its entire footprint, preventing future settling or structural issues.

Goal: The final leveling is achieved using high-lift jacks to raise the shed, allowing workers to meticulously stack concrete blocks (piers) and drive in wooden wedges underneath for precise height adjustment and stability.

get it all Rocking so he cuts down on the ground here slides a block in gets it level and then we'll level the rest of it there are wedges here that will drive in to make sure everything's level and this building is sitting on a pretty steep gradient and it will be nice and level by the time they get done so we're back here on the back side this is the low side of the building and he has a high lift jack and the jack is going to be used to raise the building up to level and then they'll slide blocks in it and then they'll slide wedges in there and make sure everything's nice and level I can't wait to take you inside this building and that is a pillar model block jane fonda eat your heart out that's a woman right there so the skeleton structure of this building is 16 foot on center and inside there you have three quarter inch floorboards and we'll walk in and talk about those floorboards they have a lifetime warranty they're water resistant mold resistant water repellent really really awesome product some new engineered type boards so everything inside this building is 16 on center just like a regular home some sheds are like 24 own Center the cheaper built sheds this is nice and this is a lifetime warranty Advantech floor it's supposed to be the best you can get so what they're doing right now is getting the outer band go to unquote the band on the outside completely level and then they'll get up underneath it and make sure it's level and stable all the way around okay so they'll support it in several places underneath and all the way around this thing will probably spare you watching them level this building because it's not very exciting but when we get done we'll take you around and we'll show you what they've done all right the
