Just realized I’ve installed my underlayment upside down. What should I do?

No prefab, no premade plans, just picking up lumber and designing from scratch

How can I cover this exposed plywood floor base before it’s damaged by rain? I didn’t cover it with LP smartside like the rest of the shed. My buddy says to use z flashing but the nails are too low for any clearance to slide flashing in between the smartside panels and the wall framing.

The have LP smartside left over and still need to add trim to the shed. What can I do so the floor doesn’t rot and swell with this huge oversight on my part?

Working on this 8x12 lean to and about to start the front wall. Is the door too close to the edge? Any issues with window placement?

Should I build a larger shed that is closer to the tree or bite the bullet on a smaller shed due to proximity of the roots? Will roots screw up my shed?

Our old shed got shifted by live oak tree roots. It was a 10x8 plastic shed from previous owners. However the old shed’s plywood floor was laid directly on a layer of concrete pavers. I plan on using the pavers on only the corners to build the frame on top, raising the shed and providing airflow so the wood won’t rot.

Since I will use the concrete pavers (pictured - 16x8x3in) to raise the shed, will roots be less of an issue? I’m hesitant to build 6x12 since everyone says to build a bigger shed if possible, and also lumber easily comes at those sizes already and I won’t have to cut as much.

We’re in Texas and this plant is right outside our house. It gets shade but now that we’ve removed trees from our yard it may be getting more sun than usual. We’ve also had a ton of rain last night. Is there any hope for this plant? Hoping anyone has advice on what to do next, thanks!

I’m not sure if crushed granite will be okay for the path or if it will become impossible to mow against, even with a metal barrier to keep the granite in and maybe some gluing. I am also unsure about the river rocks on the right. I might end up doing more plants and mulch on the thin strip and either keep the river rocks at the bottom or swap out for crushed granite. Would pea rocks be better than granite? Also will that area with the river rocks drain alright? We’ve got a downspout on the corner between the pavers and river rocks. Is 3ft wide enough for the flagstone path? Should the optional plant beds be on top of the paver section or removed? Thanks for any advice! This is my first DIY patio!

Hi guys, I’m looking to renovate our backyard porch. I plan on ripping out an old deck in favor of pavers and loose rocks. I made some AI rendered options with Gemini. Located in a hot/humid area with a lot of trees, my considerations are that it not get too hot for bare feet, or look dirty too easily since we have plenty of cedar elm and live oak in the back. I also understand there are challenges with loose rocks like weeds, and keeping them out of the grass so I plan on taking measures against those like weed barriers, pre emergent, trim/edging, and glue. I’m also looking for advice on what setup will match the house aesthetically and provide functional walkways on the sides of the house. Any other considerations are helpful since this is a first project like this for me!

This is next to the chimney outside. I just noticed the fairly large hole and not sure what to do. It looks like a repair was made previously as the entire panel looks smooth/different from the one next to it. We have had squirrels in the attic before and pest control sealed the house. You can see a small patch in the middle of the hole with caulk. Inside I don’t see any insects like termites but it looks like the wood is either rotted or gnawed on. Let me know if you have any advice. Thanks!
