Refurbishing an Old Shed, Using a Variety of Low or No Cost Materials.

(IC: homeowner)
We had a new larger shed built for storage of yard equipment, etc.. It was built in front of the old shed - which has become mine. I yanked out nails, boards, rickity shelving and then inspected the cleaned out shell. Here's what I found & the repairs I made.
Ther is still more to do - I need to strip the roof and build a ramp. I already found the wood I need & then some on the side of the road.

Wow, this is an old post but if I may. Wood can not touch the soil. Since you're in Rhode Island I guess the snow was pretty deep. I advise for outdoor sheds concrete foundation and if you can't get that done or just need to repair the damage I would use concrete patio blocks or low-cost wall retainer blocks on the bottom of the repair with really good primer and protective paint for the wood. The patio blocks at the big box stores were under $2 bucks each. I also envelop my shed with plastic mulch to avoid carpenter ants and other insects.
