Watching my dad build a shed in '98 versus what I see online now
I mean, back then he just put down some gravel and pressure-treated wood for the base, and that thing is still solid in my mom's yard. Now I see people skipping the gravel and just putting wood on dirt, then they're shocked when it rots in like two years. I learned the hard way myself when I tried to copy a quick video for a planter box and it fell apart after one wet winter in Portland. Does anyone have a good rule for when you actually need that gravel layer?
