I know that political differences aside, there are some very clever folks on here.
I just bought my house. There is an existing utility building on the property. I would like to add a floor and finish the missing wall (adding a door).
The immediate need will be to store wood for projects so it doesn't HAVE to be enclosed yet, but it would be nice. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated. Here is what I can tell you:
The C-channel steel is on the ground and about 10-12" tall.
I think that I am supposed to use pressure treated wood if 12-18" from dirt.
Pressure treated wood will corrode metal.
The roof is the first issue. No overhang has resulted in all of the insulation that the previous owner took the time to install being a rotten mess now.
Construction wise can I lay some kind of decking across the C-channel as long as it is isolated by vapor barrier or asphalt or something?
Can I screw down larger sheetmetal onto the roof to make an overhang to keep water out of walls?
That's a tarp hanging down on the right side of the exterior shot.
