Shed Foundation


Hi guys I have a single car garage which is sitting on a slab,but the walls are sitting on the dirt ,surprisingly the sills are not rotted,but what I want to do is either extend the slab or cut a foot of the wall off and dig out and pour a little foundation around ,I know this sounds extreme but I dont want to rip down the walls and stard from scratch,any ideas would be helpful

Re: Shed Foundation


easiest fix, dig out 4 or 6 foot sections, set up 2x form on the outside about 3 or 4 inches from outside of wall, pour concrete, top of form should be flush with bottom of wall plate
