Hi again
Due to supporting bricks sinking and massive roots from neighbours silver birch my shed floor and supports are rotten. I have removed 2 fifths of the floor at the door end and two lengths at each side. It is now standing against the back of the shed and i think this section is reusable with bigger supports nailed alongside the old ones. Two lengths of shiplap at LHS need replaced and 1 length at RHS.
Here is a pic of what I now have.
View media item 60699
The all around support timbers were nailed into the bottom of the uprights.
I now need to replace these and also the timber support battens and replace the bricks with slabs or concrete. You can see it will be difficult from inside. I have very limited access at sides and back of shed. 3 or 4 of the frame uprights have a couple of inches of rot at the bottom
I'm looking for suggestions and ideas on how to save this wee shed, It is over 30 years old but still in good nick above the rot. It is 8' x 6' and a replacement is £500.
I think my starting point is to jack it up a few inches to enable me to work on the supporting structure and floor
Please help
Jim
