This may seem off topic, but it IS related to turning (sort of). I am finally in a position to acquire a storage shed into which I will store lumber accumulated for the past 30+ years. I'll also store my lawnmower, now residing in my small shop. The storage shed will free up space in my shop (more room for turning equipment) and basement.
The place where I intend to put the shed is where I had a tree cut down earlier this year. I had the stump ground away, but there is now sawdust in that spot. On Monday I will have topsoil delivered, the sawdust removed, and the soil put into the area.
To what extend do I need the new soil tamped down before the shed is installed?
Should I have the shed sitting on cinder blocks? Treated lumber?
Do I need to go to the extent of putting down a cement base for the shed to sit on?
Other landscaping concerns? I'm planning on having that area slightly elevated so that water doesn't collect.
Any tips or warnings on sheds and installing them would be much appreciated. Thanks!
