Home Improvement

It's not good news for all the OSB. When it gets wet it tends to turn into cornflakes. Get the contractor's business card, register a complaint with Lowes, and if there are any issues within a year go after them because they left it like this. Honestly, they could have put the roofing clad on in such a short amount of time and had no issues. Fucking lazy. I don't care if it's raining, get that shit done.

So it may be just fine, depending on how much water was absorbed and the quality of the OSB. It might start to deteriorate in a few weeks. My guess is the former. But call the contractor roughly every 45 minutes during business hours asking when they will be back. I'm not kidding.

Nice enough shed, though.

plywood can take the rain. It's that insulation board that you'd really prefer doesn't get rained on. That shit turns to mush. Even cheap ass plywood weathers pretty well.

But yes, it's lazy and he honestly shouldn't have left it like that. He really really could have just tossed a tarp on it.

I don't care when he shows up. Lowe's will be replacing it or otherwise making it right when. I'm done.

I just want to make sure I know what the issues here are

I have a double lot, so my yard is adjacent to two neighbors on that side. Each has a shed. Yes that's poison ivy rock

And I mean it's a $900 shed. Nothing special. But I did pay bthese dudes $2k to install it

Play ignorant, and bitch up a storm. Ream their ass so hard they wish they were gay in prison!!!

2x 4x4 posts laid down for support? The support them in the middle? Dig down any?

So that also confused me. The floor is actually a reinforced floor, not the standard couple pieces of plywood. But when I was planning on building the shed myself I was going to put down 12 levelling blocks for the base. Lowe's TOLD US to our FACES that's what this guy would do. I confirmed because if he was t, I was going to. It's literally 2 2x4s holding the shed up. If there's something in the middle I can't see it.

It's not what we wanted or what we were told we were getting.

I'm just going to contact Lowe's when this is up. Nothing looks good.

There may even be mandated foundation requirements in your area, sometimes municipalities will have their ordinance etc online. That's the best way to embarrass them, there's no defense.

No foundation requirements here. In fact, very little requirements for sheds at all. Had I known he was gonna toss the shed on two 4x4's I would've done something different for the foundation. Right now it's raw dirt underneath. I shouldve got crushed rocks for it.

Been building a 125 foot retaining wall with rocks that we've been collecting from various places. Every time someone posts they want to get rid of a pond or similar, I tell them I'll come and take all their rocks away. As a result, today I'm making this retaining wall, which will enable me to make a level seating area right next to a small pond we're also putting there. It's costing virtually nothing, as I can get the fill dirt from other places on my property. The only cost is going to be the pond liner and paving stones for the seating area. It's going to be massive and it's going to have a fire pit. This is the third seating area we will now have near the house. It's awesome.

No shi T man, and they let you build it without a permit?

Or he meant the length
