I kind of updated this--here: "100% of people who do not save money do not have any!"--Dave Ramsey
I emptied the shed and loaded up the picnic table:

However, my brother put everything back, and then it rained heavily:

I also have it up on a second set of cinder blocks to make it easier to mend the 4x4. I made a set of clamps with some 2x4s, 1x4s, threaded rod, nuts, bolts, and mending braces. It worked, but if I ever wanted to use this again I should use stronger braces, thicker washers, and harder wood.

The braces and washers cupped and dimpled the boards.

The 1x4s started cracking!

I jacked up the front and moved back the cinder blocks so I could clamp it and tighten the blocks, but when I put in the second sister board I just used the top of my clamp to pull it together, and tightened the bolt without jacking up the back.

I lifted up the entire side to make it easier to slide in the sister board and screw it in, so jacking up the back didn't seem safe.

I couldn't find my right-angle attachment and the outer 2x4 was rotten, so I ripped out most of it, turning it into mulch far too easily. I tightened the screws and lowered the shed.

Three 2x4s in the back are rotten. The bottom half of the middle section is just gone.

I don't know if the 2x4s are attached to the 4x4. There are gaps in many places. I figure that I will remove them, slide in new boards from my lumber pile, and attach them.

Should I insulate the bottom while I have it up? I think that I have 2 4x8 2" foam boards protecting my drywall. I doubt they still look pretty.

I feel concerned for the drywall.

For some reason the floor has joists every 12".

I cannot find insulation that wide.

There would be 10.5" between studs, right?

I could cut each board 8 times the short way, slide them between the intact 4x4 and the floor, slide a 2x4 between the insulation and the 4x4, spray Great Stuff around 3 edges, and then slide in another board through the side.

Apply Great Stuff around all 4 edges and I can insulate 9 feet.

That is 5' too few!

It would be nice to have a floor that isn't as cold.

I really need to figure out how to floor this thing!

I don't know how to insulate the floor once I replace that 2x4 without cutting boards into 3 pieces, so I guess that I need to buy another board.

Unfortunately, if I cut another 4x8 board the long way, I will have 4.57 boards.

If I cut them 9.6" wide I could theoretically fill in .45" on each side with some kind of captured foam gargoyles.

That should work.

Unfortunately, there is tons of mud dried to the bottom of the shed.

Do you think that many people have cleaned the bottom of their shed?

In theory I don't need to glue the boards in place, I can just slide 2x4s between the foam and the 4x4s, but sealing gaps is good.

So, once I insulate the floor, I replace the side 2x4 with pressure-treated lumber, level the gravel again, ensure that it is level left-to-right, jack up the shed, remove the extra cinder blocks, and set it down for the last time.

Then all that I need to do is:

1. Set up my back-up awning.
2. Empty the shed again.
3. Remove the shelves in the back.
4. Finish insulating.
5. Drywall.
6. Mud, tape, and paint.
7. Add a circuit to the box, dig a trench 50' or more, run electricity and ethernet, and probably install lights and outlets.
8. ????
9. Profit?
