Implement Shed Build + PICS!

[Coyote machine]

Dead for me also, really want to see them I am in the planning stages of building one and looking for ideas!

Let me know if I can be of any assistance as to materials, etc.

Thanks, see my earlier reply to Eddie. I believe what I told him is what one is. I may get further details from my builder when I return home, this coming week.

I always thought an "Alaskan slab" was a floating slab, with a 8-to-12 inch deep reinforced surround to carry the building weight and "float" on the surface and not have to use "frost walls" extending down below frost level to a footer.

I defer to what you said. I'm no concrete/slab guy by any means, and what you said sounds about right.
I just couldn't remember how deep they poured the 'footers', and it might well have been just a few feet instead of the four feet I mentioned earlier.

Thanks for the input!:thumbsup:

Note to all readers: See post #29 below for a further detailed definition of a Alaskan slab.

Looks great want to do something very similar my wife also wants a screened in porch of the side of mine to over look the field so that would be a great option for the overhang, but less storage for me my tree line along my driveway looks like a used equipment lot so got to do something to get everything under cover.
