The sanding dance was great, you never disappoint. Maybe a mortar mix dance with your helper next time. That is a good reason to re-hire her.

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Maybe I was too hasty firing so soon, I will give her a second chance in the future 😉

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thank you! And they were only $15 each! So super affordable

[@rockyfesta5099]

Looking great! And so are you! As a native Floridian, you made the right choice using blocks for the shed, hurricanes! I have 2 suggestions; get a pallet and put a sheet ofplywood on it. Now you have a work table/ platform when using the tractor forks. The second one you basically did with the water filters but a water softening systems works better to get rid of the rust color/ taste/smell you'll get from well water. Sand away and mix away beautiful!

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thanks a lot!! Thank you for the suggestions. I was going back and forth on what treatment system to use. The thing is that I have extremely high sulfur and Iron in the well water. A regular softener wasn't up for the task. I have another filter up the line that is outside the well house giving me another level of filtration. Still wouldn't drink the water...

Bonjour Meike. Voila un tuto maçonnerie comme j'aimerais en voir plus souvent. Une fois de plus vous avez fait un travail extraordinaire. Vous êtes vraiment une femme multi taches. J'ai hâte de voir la suite. Un petit conseil si vous le permettez : lorsque vous utilisez les fourches du tracteur comme échafaudage mettez une palette sur les fourches cela vous fera une surface plus importante et vous serez en sécurité. Bonne continuation. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés du sud de la France. Olivier.

For a safer portable platform, use a pallet on your forks. It also works to set your tools on whether standing on the platform or not.

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Definitiv gonna need one of those 👍

[@georgeslade4696]

Did you use bond beam every 2nd or 3rd row and butter the ends of the blocks while you were laying them? Any vertical rebar?

[@rongrose3746]

I am impressed! Nice building !,

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thanks a lot! 😁

[@davidbalderston2751]

Meike, if you ever have to do this kind of work again maybe you should consider renting an electric cement mixer. You can mix up to three bags at once. When the cement is mixed you just dump the battle forward into a wheelbarrow. and dump it in the trench. Nice job on the structure. I expected nothing less from you!

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Absolutely. I used to own a Harbor Freight cement mixer that costs about what I would have paid for a rental. It was great to have but I had to sell it since I did not have enough room back then. Now I wish I still had it

[@davidbalderston2751]

Well, you did a fantastic job without it. All with a smile@@WhatMeikeMakes

Yeah, probably better to have the shed made out of cinder blocks in FL. It will stand up to the humidity and bugs better and when a hurricane rolls through, the cinder block shed is less likely to end up in the ocean.

Cool video. What a nice looking shed

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thanks!

[@GoCreateSomething]

Sense you don't have any connection between the center boards on the door and the frame other than the plywood, I would suggest connecting the framing to the boards in the middle with some diagonal braces. You could also put the bracing on the inside and have it nailed to the frame, the plywood and the boards on the outside if your nails are long enough. That way, when the FL humidity and sun do what they do to plywood in a few years, the door will maintain its integrity.

[@WhatMeikeMakes]

Thank you for the tip and for watching my video! Have a great week 👍😁

[@sophialyn7699]

great video! Tho I don't understand why you use a mask for the lumber cutting but wont use one for the cement and mortar mixing. hope you look into the reasons why you should. keep up the great work!
