I was thinking the same as your neighbor, plywood perpendicular to the joists is stronger. Now your extra blocking will really stiffen and strengthen the floor.
2x6 with the beams under mid-span is fine. I have the same layout with 2x10 spanning 10 ft. I like your design better. More economical in the end I think. Nice work.
When doing my research I found that a 2x6 can have a span of 7 feet so I figured 55 inches should be more than enough support for this size building. My atv shed has 2x8 and it has had no issues with the atv and lawnmower.
When you did your toe nailing with a 3" Phillip screws, it went right in. When I try, they only go in so far and start to strip out.... I have to use a bit first. Its frustrating.
@sethcraftworkshop thanks. So no regrets? I'm planning to build a similar size shop. Can't find many examples of people doing a wooden foundation for that size but I'm also learning towards wood instead of concrete
I'm getting ready to build a shop... (slightly smaller) Your video's are fantastic. What part of the country are you in where you need such a moisture barrier? - thanks!
Nice! A shop opens up so many opportunities. I installed a shed years ago without a barrier and had issues with mold. Once I installed the plastic that went away. I am in NC and it rains a lot. But the ground moisture is worse than the rain.
How funny, I'm in NC too (S.E.). That's why I asked about the moisture barrier. SO GLAD I found your vid. I'm definitely going to take the extra step for that. I can't wait to see your shop when it's done. KEEP US UPDATED with videos!
no offense, but all those mistakes you pointed out, were easily correctable...I guess it's personal presence , but I would have corrected them. That said, I am watching because, I am getting ready to build a 12 x 14' 6" . Your videos are very helpful, though I am in SE AZ I am going to put the vapor barrier, we have monsoons AND termites.
I think it's important for us TH-cam's to point out the mistakes made. I'm one of those get a project done type of people. Running 4 channels can be time consuming and there are times I don't get as perfectionist as I could on individual steps. That being said, I definitely recommend getting your build as perfect as possible.

Yes! This floor is super strong now. 3/4" ply is on top!

Does that moisture barrier let water and air through?
No.

Why didnt you just get a concrete poured foundation?
No way to get a truck back there and it costs much more. Also a lot more leveling would need to be done.

Could I Get A Materials List For This Project ? Only For The Floor Framing. Number Of Joists And The Lengths Of The Joist Etc.
I actually have not made a list for materials. This video is the only documentation that I have.
Bubble foil?
Actually 1" ridged foam.

Watching you gives me a headache. You have more money than actual knowhow
Explain what the issue is? This frame seems to be built well enough for my needs.
