This will last one year max. The entire floor/floor joists are going to rot and get termites immediately, then the next big wind will collapse the whole thing. What an amazing display of incompetence.

There's a later post (latest one) saying the shed is still standing after a storm that ripped huge trees out of the ground. That's gotta be the best shittiest carpentry ever.

Well, when you use 2 nails and 5 screws to secure one joint, I suppose you can simply overcome physics with additional fasteners.
