    Never cease to amaze me how most men in America build stuff/ complex projects sometimes by themselves with no help from friends or relatives. Find myself in that predicament. Thank God for all the resources He makes available to us in this great country that millions want gone.

    The only thing I would change is that you walk us thru the steps. Like the black posts you used inserted into the ground. I have never seen those before. And did you concrete them in? Otherwise wise I enjoyed.

    • @Ben........
      @Ben........ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No, it's a screw. You simply insert a 2x4 in the U shaped anchor and turn. You can do that by hand, just take the 2x4 in your hand and walk in circle around the screw 100x and it will screw itself in the ground. Please do not stack a wooden post before the joist, this will make the structure wobbly and unsafe, especially in the long run. Wood sometimes warps after a couple months drying and it could make the structure collapse on itself. You can buy spike extensions that directly stack on the screw instead. It's much sturdier than a wooden post extension as it can't slide out.

    Excellent location!! Great job!
    Having built many small cabins myself, I see many cabins being built today and without putting any bridging between the joists. Most places it’s code. I would have put two rows of solid blocking in. One midway between front span, the second midway of the back span. These help prevent the stringers twisting with age! Just saying

    Oh, you guys also have structural screws over in the US! We use those a lot here in Canada. Tough, your wooden post quick fix terrifies me. It will make this structure very wobbly! Why not have used the 2ft spike extensions instead? They're only like 8$ each and they're plug and play. You can even stack multiple of them on top of the structural screw (between the spike and the adjustable anchor) and they support like 5000lbs each. I built a 15x16 shed 3 years ago using those structural screws and couldn't be happier. Nothing moved after 3 winters and it's sturdy AF!
