OMG that is simply the worst build I have ever seen. That thing will move all over the place. No foundation, no tie downs, bracing is a joke. I dont even think that roof would hold up to a gentle rain.
 
I'm bummed. I was hoping to see it down on the ground by the end of 24 pages. Now I actually have to keep checking it out hourly until it collapses...
 
Has to be a joke.
 
Awesome thread and post. I thought I was deuce when it came to construction, but now feel I am the equivalant of Al Borland :)
 
I checked all the pics . . . kept thinking it was some elaborate joke. That thing is amazing . . . I feel like a freakin' construction genius now.
 
I don't see a problem.

Need to do a Homes on Holmes on that abbortion! Prolly could put the whole thing down with 2 guys!
 
So what's the problem? Might even pass inspection....:rolleyes: After all, the plans may have came from Mr Villa.

wow I didnt even look past the 1st page until last night. That time lapse is awesome, definitley the best fail build thread Ive ever seen. I cant believe how much OSB he got into that van.

I'm still curious how well those shingles a secured given his precision and skill at placing nails . At most i give that thing 3-4 years before it surrenders to gravity . Maybe less if he gets heavy wet snow. . On the positive side..... He could probably "season" wood fairly well in that " shed " as it looks like it would flow air freely .
 
My LOL moment of the day....thank you.......note the blocks in the attempt to square up the corner!
 
While I'm thinking about it ...... What are the advantages of building a structure on upgraded ground ( not even mowed ) ,and using untreated wood ? Is it to insure that the structure will just shrink into the ground while feeding the local insects ?
He should sell plans . He could call it the " you can screw up this much and still call it a shed " company .
He could also add .." Plans for a biodegradable 2 story garage are in the works ! "

Reminds me of when I was a kid and we were always building forts.

Not if he farts inside the so called shed ! I can't believe I just wasted 5 minutes of my life looking at that death trap heck I could blow in the general direction from Michigan and it would fall over !

I bet that only took 8 or 10, 30 whackers to build.
