This used to be a chicken coop. Now it's my storage shed. How can I fix it?
If the framing is still in good shape you can put T111 siding on it. It looks like it was covered in OSB that didn't hold up. Any wood products that sit on or near the ground will rot eventually. Keeping it painted will help.
Hi Linda! Oh, that can be so cute! I'd start by having glass cut for the openings that are now covered to add some light inside. Get a wide board to trim the deteriorating bottom portion. Then paint it a jazzy color (if allowed in your neighborhood) that you love, paint the trim white, add some window boxes under the openings. Once you get started, I bet you come up with even more ideas and then there's the inside. Create shelving however is best for the hobbies you pursue. I could go on & on but you get the idea.

Thank you
My daughter had a doll house made of the same stuff. It lasted about 20 years until the floor boards rotted out. Scrape old pant, patch the holes and door. I painted everything every summer with a water proof stain. Pick one out that has a color, not semi transparent.
I would sit on bricks or cinder blocks to get off ground it be a cute she shed
