Shed on the cheap.
The plan is to NOT create a proper foundation as that leads to a permanent building and extra taxes. So the concrete block will be laid in the ground and where there is 2 stacked on top (to level the block with the ground) we will liquid nail it to each other. We will then liquid nail a 2 × 8 to the top of the block to attach the pallets that will create the walls.
I'm from Meridian (Butler) Pa. About 25 miles north of Pittsburgh.
I put a extra 12 x 20 garage up, with no increase in taxes.
Bought a metal garage kit from Sheds-For-Less $1800 delivered.
But I placed it on concrete pillars, that I dug down into the ground, reinforced with re-bar, formed and mixed concrete by hand and poured them.
After the cement set up, used 6X6 treated posts around the perimeter and thru the middle.
Covered the 6X6's with black plastic for a moisture barrier, the covered them with treated 2X12's.
Basically built an over-kill deck.
Me and my neighbor assembled the building on a weekend.
After wiring with a few florescent lights, and plumbing for air, I have a nice storage building, that I can work in if necessary.
I did it for $2600 a couple years ago.
No increase in taxes because of the foundation, but I have a car stored in there, and alot of other stuff.
