I made a lot of progress this week on the shed foundation form. First I had to put down another 1500 pounds of gravel to get the mid section of the form closer to 4 inches thick. That was a lot of gravel! 50 bags weighing 50 pounds each. I also laid out the rebar support which was much easier than I expected. It didn’t have to be perfect so it went quickly. I made a small investment in a chop saw which has already helped immensely.
The next step is to have the cement delivered and the form will pretty much be done.
I also did a sketchup of what the interior may look like with furniture – a desk with monitors, laptop and a comfy chair; a small couch and a bookshelf.
Getting very excited about this part being complete. It’s been a lot of work.

I dug some more of the footing out this weekend, then picked up a thousand pounds of gravel from Home Depot… Spread it out and turns out it’s not enough. I need to get the mid section of the foundation down to 4 inches thick and it’s at 6 inches right now. I think I’ll need another fifteen hundred pounds. Backbreaking! Check out the pictures here:

Once the slab is at the right thickness, I will lay out the rebar and schedule the concrete to be delivered. It’s getting close!
