Escort and delivery of 16 x 30 shed had a set back! #shed #portablebuilding #derksen Music: Acoustic Guitar 1 Musician: music by audionautix.com License: creativecommon...
I have built and delivered sheds for 41 years now and I won’t even put a building over 12 inches high any more, it’s just not safe with no foundation underneath. If that is a issue for the customer they can go somewhere else. Every customer is convinced that their property is level. I had one who could not understand why I was not going to get a shovel and dig holes in the ground to put the blocks in the holes. Some even outright lie to you about the delivery situation and when you call them on it they will laugh right in your face. It gets to be a bit much after a while.
I'm happily watching you .Like everyone, they say do this and do that 🙄. Knowledge is your friend. Be cool and SAFE. .35 years doing business n I'm still learning. Great channel pal.
Amazes me that folks can’t figure out that the final set can’t be on a slope! Some thought before as to where exactly they want the building to sit, and hire someone with the equipment to create a level site with minimal blocks. SMH. Great job moving and blocking twice though, guess that’s what you have to do. 👍
Yes it’s such a blessing to have equipment like this year’s ago they used to move everything with winches and Jack’s I couldn’t imagine having only those tools
Assuming someone did want it set on a slope, if they told me two blocks high, I would assume they meant at the most. If you took out another layer of blocks, it would still be half a block above the footing blocks at the low end. A level and a little discussion ahead of time would've saved a lot of work.
I completely agree but that is out of our hands the seller is the one who tells them how to get the land ready if they want to do so we just show up with the building and set it up all of that work before hand is done with the person that sells the buildings
@@WybleFamilyAdventures Exactly I prepped my site before the shed was delivered. The only room we had on our property was on a slope. So we had 9 tons of # 3 stone and leveled the area. We put drain tile under the stone. So when they came with the pads and block it was smooth sailing.
@@WybleFamilyAdventures I sell buildings and my driver speaks with the customer about setting up the building before he brings it. We as the seller do talk about the blocks etc. to the customer but it is ultimately the delivery driver who has to know what he is up against before he gets to the site.
Hello friends glad I found your channel. This was so fascinating and the building is beautiful. That definitely took time. But turned out great. Be safe friends sending love your way ❤️🌺🌸❤️
I was looking into local jobs as a cdl driver. One of them is a shed mover. Watching this makes me think I don't want to be moving sheds. Very interesting and helpful video. :D
There’s great money in hauling barns if you don’t let customers like this walk all over you. That should have paid $500-$1000 over and above what the manufacturer pays the driver to set up like this in my neck of the woods.
Still not sure why the customer wanted it that high. There's gotta be a way for a sales rep to figure the slope of the land and explain to the customer that poor site prep is NOT covered by any sort of warranty. Once it starts sinking or tipping all of the windows and doors will be out of kilter. It's a bad case of pay me now or pay me later.
I had a shed about that size that was delivered to my new home and set on one level of blocks. A gust of wind (70 mph) blew it over on it's side. I fixed it and attached it to trailer home tie downs and never had a problem after.
Frost heave (depending on where you are located) will put that building on the ground in a short while. Also, the organic matter under the blocks will also compact and settling will occur. Don't know who's responsible for the mistake but your name will be who they repeat over and over even if you did exactly what they wanted. Not trying to be a jerk, I've been in business for myself for a while and know how the blame game works. Lesson learned I hope.
@@imacrazyguy5831 believe me when it falls the customer will only say who installed it. Who knows the customer could be super honest and say it was their call. How many super honest people do you know? They are the exception now instead of the norm.
It's a shed not a house. A house is regulated by city/ county codes. So they ordered a shed they got a shed. Stop trying to say that a shed needs to have foundation and this and that it's a shed period end of story. If they wanted a house they should have ordered a house.... too many peanuts....geez!
I know blocks are common but I would never deal with a shed this size without having a concrete slab foundation. The blocks will sink unevenly at some point. And then there is the matter of rot and/or termites to the floor joists.
I watch this building and preparation for receiving my shed... The moving guys Dolly tires flew off so they had to drag my building and I got it stuck in my yard and it's all uneven and it's a big nightmare and it's probably going to get flooded on Thursday when it's rain comes...blah
Shed my ass they raised that so someone can live in that, cheap style. You guys worked too hard to make her happy. She should've had some grounds work done ahead of time.
I used to set mobile homes, the ground would be so uneven that the front would be one block and the back would be twelve which is over your head! These hillbillies will put a wooblie box just about anywhere, then want the sewer drop ran out thar in the tomato garden, as a sign of appreciation they would offer me some tomatoes. 🤮
You call that a shed? I call that a mansion, a shed is 8 x 12- 10x20 at the most! Could have save some time by doing the ground work all on your own, way before they arrived with your "shed"! I will have the ground work ready for my shed to be offloaded.
I lived for 12 years in a 16X32, and for one person and a dog that was large enough. 2X5 wall studs though so there was enough insulation. In Alaska, insulation is everything!!
Did the customer pay for foundation and leveling .. or contract someone to prepare and certify the site beforehand? I've seen movers drop a shed in the dirt and drive off because the land owner didn't ready the site! A return visit from the mover usually costs as much as the original delivery .. it behooves the land owner to ensure the site is ready to avoid these extra charges.
I bought mind in 2004 from Walnut Hill Rentals in Bell, TN and it on the grown, mind was all treated wood and still standing. They are still in business they have a web site
I noticed most repo sheds are most expensive one on lot. If u can not afford that kind go for smaller cheaper one. Repo goes to a lot of work to get them. Save your money until u can buy a shed.
We are just the drivers we do not sell the buildings or have anything to do with them being sold all we do is deliver and set up after the buildings are sold or repo after they are behind on payments for two months
Bought my shed from Backyard Sheds in Ohio...thought ground was level...wasn’t. Driver didn’t much care, and we didn’t know. Windows didn’t fit...owner was quite rude! Took them 3 mos to deliver. I would never recommend or buy from them again! It pays to ask and know what to do.
You did a great job but it is too bad they waited till you were almost finished to complain. I would have convinced her it needed to go sideways to avoid it being too high on the other end before I started.
I did that for 4 years from Harlingen plant, and it was always hard to please every customer, especially those with uneven grounds who wanted miracles done. I would've just gone with concrete pads on one side and ended with blocks on the other side, especially cause its a ZMG......thd lower the better..... oh and don't forget your pictures!
Yes for sure there is lots of times where we wish we can just do what we want to do but... we always have to please the customer lol thanks for watching
Must be very strong well made to be able to lift them like that how much does a building like that cost was wondering thanks they didn't prepare the ground it needs to be level
No preparation of pad, homeowner needs to work on that most of the times, poor little kids with that amount of pressure, they just deliverers, no ground preparator
Damn thats a nice shed, metal sides are premium. Premium work on the blocks too, most shed deliverers around here refuse to put anymore than two blocks under around where i live, too much work apparently. The main shed company around here is very corporate(quantity over quality), so they dont put a mom and pop touch to their work like yall do. Friend had a shed delivered and they refused to put anymore than two blocks, so we had to rent a few bottle jacks and do it ourselves, which was a pain in the arse. Id definitely buy a shed from yall if you were close by.
Not premium over time. Blocks set on grass will settle unevenly. Not the delivery person's fault though - the delivery people went way out of their way beyond what should be expected.
If I was asked how many blocks high, I would make my decision based on the entry way. Who in their right mind would want the entry 4 blocks high. The set up crew should have been wise enough to know this or check with the customer to be sure.
What's going to hold home down...in a storm.. or high winds... Don't like on blocks .looks week...I would have put concrete columns .. in the ground then put home on top.. and Anker it down.....
I don't understand why the land isn't prepped as part of the whole deal ? I would never mount a shed on those type of blocks , They should have poured footings .
This is all on the purchaser. Everyone that does these sheds is very clear on prepping the site. You pick a spot as level as you can find. Anything sloping is going to be a problem. That's not the shed builders fault. Second if aren't going to get a concrete foundation, which can be expensive. Get a load of gravel . It cheap and easy. I think this shed company went way beyond what is expected to try and make this work. This is not even a close call , this is the customer's fault. I had a shed and a sea container dropped on my property. The container in the dead of winter with a foot of snow on the ground , but I cleaned out the drop area and room for the truck to get in and out . The driver was telling me horror stories about driving to properties being asked to drop in the bush somewhere through an unplowed road. You are basically getting a mini house delivered. Do the prep work you will be fine. This company did everything they could . I don't know anyone else that would of put in this effort.
They should’ve had a cement pad put down then you don’t have to worry about critters going underneath and getting into the shed the people who bought the shed
It could have been started off on the pads as you call them with no block on the high end and would have eliminated one block the whole way through right ?
If she paid for it and wanted it on the ground, I'd put it on the ground as long as she knows the warranty aspect of it. Then when she decides she wants it back up, thats money she has to fork out. But if she's leasing, thn I understand the blocks. Tough dealing wit customers that wants you to do something, but they know more thn u.
Maybe yes, maybe know. There is something to be said for not doing something you know is irresponsible and will lead to failure. The customer is not always right.
I was thinking of getting into this business. It appears one would need to do a preliminary survey with a laser level to get an estimate on setting it down. I'm surprised you set those blocks directly on grass.

Yes that is completely true you never know until you get there everybody says it’s level and everybody says it’s dry LOL
think she's difficult now, wait till the repo. Bahaha
I'm happily watching you .Like everyone, they say do this and do that 🙄. Knowledge is your friend. Be cool and SAFE. .35 years doing business n I'm still learning. Great channel pal.
Absolutely should have told the customer to level the ground before delivery or charge them for that service
Owner probably told them it was level.
Blocking and leveling is included with price
Some customers just don't Understand
Amazes me that folks can’t figure out that the final set can’t be on a slope! Some thought before as to where exactly they want the building to sit, and hire someone with the equipment to create a level site with minimal blocks. SMH. Great job moving and blocking twice though, guess that’s what you have to do. 👍
Right
They should have had the ground graded to set it level with only one block around
One block around when level doesn't give you any under access.
Reminds me of an old country song I once heard, “Some fools never learn”. Bless y’all for trying to teach them.
I love how the equipment works so well. Seems almost effortless.
Yes it’s such a blessing to have equipment like this year’s ago they used to move everything with winches and Jack’s I couldn’t imagine having only those tools
Would be nice to have a bulldozer attachment to clean the sheds out from all the garbage they leave behind.
Great job on delivery and setup. 👏🏽👍🏾
Thanks ☺️
That's a Big shed 👋❤️ wow should of poured a slab for it....
That is a decision that is left up to the buyer, slabs are not a requirement for delivery.
Nothing much worse than extra work because a customer has no clue of what has to be done to do it right but you were very polite and did a good job
would just say make it level the way they did it after ignoring the owners stupidity looks good to me
Thank you for posting. It's good to see what might be expected
You are welcome thanks for watching
They better hope those blocks all settle evenly. Should have graded the lot prior to scheduled delivery.
That's what the wedges are for on top of the block.
Assuming someone did want it set on a slope, if they told me two blocks high, I would assume they meant at the most. If you took out another layer of blocks, it would still be half a block above the footing blocks at the low end. A level and a little discussion ahead of time would've saved a lot of work.

Heck I think y’all did a terrific job looks great to me !
Thanks
No matter how much you explain to some people they just don't get it. Sometimes I wonder how they find their way home
Saw another repo driver that had his flags attached to some heavy spring loaded clamps, worked very well, my opinion.
I helped a guy move houses for years, this is gravy.
Thats a good looking building 😍
Yes sir lol

Maybe they want a deck?
Yes it has been a year since we set this building and they now have a deck around the whole building and have turned it into a beauty shop
Customer didn't want to see the slope that had chosen for that shed.
That is definitely gonna need some hurricane straps to keep it from blowing off those blocks.
2" more to left and 1" back.!
I need one of those as a sewing room!!
Beautiful shed perhaps a level crushed stone pad would of saved some work. You did what you could.
Jason Crocker sent me over to say "HI"! Hi! Lol looking forward to seeing more vlogs.

Great idea
I was hoping the person on the phone was calling to tell them they was delivering the wrong shed to the wrong customer lol
I know blocks are common but I would never deal with a shed this size without having a concrete slab foundation. The blocks will sink unevenly at some point. And then there is the matter of rot and/or termites to the floor joists.
Where I live the ground frost would heave and the doors and windows would jam until spring thaw.
I don't know anyone that places these on slab foundations. Always seen two blocks or higher. Underneath is treated for termites etc.
Good job. Customer not always right but gotta try.

Nice job

It could have been started off on the pads as you call them with no block on the high end and would have eliminated one block the whole way through right ?
Yes, but that is really too close to the ground for moisture. Water would pool on that single pad and cause the stringer to rot.
If they had concrete piers already built that high in place when you got there, can your equipment place it on top?
I have the same floor on mine didn’t know it was OSB from the top. Hope it’s going to hold up from being wet from rain a d snow
