I did most of the finish work on our house. I can be a very handy guy, but I've never framed anything before. I am one who can study a new project and figure it out almost always albeit with lots of frustration much of the time. I need advice:
1. Is is more cost effective to build one from scratch or just buy a pre-built plastic one (I have the time as I'm a teacher off this summer)? It appears that we can find a plastic one for around $1,100. My preliminary estimates have the cost of building one at around $600. This could work IF I don't come close to suicide in the process doing it alone!
2. Should I go with a treated wood or concrete foundation? Could a simple gravel floor do the trick?
3. How can I make sure the shed won't fly away in a windstorm? (even if I get a pre-built one!)
4. We want one that's low maintenance. So, what kind of roof and siding should I use?
5. How can I get enough light without electricity? Are skylights too difficult to include?
