We live in Kingwood and yes, the shed I attached to my garage has a raised floor built on treated 2 x 8's sitting on concrete blocks just above the ground.

We actually got shut down on this project for 2 weeks after my home owners association found out. They wanted to see plans including paint swatches and shingle samples and measurements to my property lines to show I was not on the utility easement at the back of my property. They eventually gave me permission and the storage shed is done!

Pink? Is that an insect treatment, or should I say anti-insect treatment?

That's what I wondered but it is actually just to designate these as pre-cut stud length which is 92 5/8 inch in length.

again, nice work! here at the track when we built the deck on our outside party area i wanted to use concrete blocks but we wound up driving treated steaks into the ground. yeah it's gonna rot only in a matter of time but that's what i was told to do so i did it *shrug*. i work just down the freeway from you at 59 and lauder. drive up from friendswood. at least until i can get back into engineering or aviation.
