Putting a pad in will make the shed last and not rot/fall over forcing you to remove it.

A big 24" hole on the siding, siding completely gone beneath the paint, the 2 x 12" plank completely gone, the load bearing joist rot a good 4".

The washing is fine.. but it takes 3 hours to dry which waste a lot of electric

I won't go into the whole story but we lost about 200K on a franchise deal, mostly due to a lawsuit from the state that the franchise left us out to dry, so you can understand her apprehension.

We pressure washed, let dry for two days of full sun then painted two coats of tinted primer.  

If they leave you high and dry, or worse just decide to stop paying and drag you through the courts, it can be months of you covering all of the costs.  

It is a means to and end, it keeps my family safe, dry, and warm. 

@Jeff Bridges yes I did include the 3% fee.....I have multiple credit cards with zero balances on them that I can write cc against....It is tight however I have a cushion if needed so I won't end up being hung out to dry.

After this, I was told they found rotted piers and beams which will cost another $4K.It's been raining alot in San Antonio so it has caused major delays in replacing the rotted piers/beams with new ones.

This can lead to wood rot and mold and turn into a claim your insurance will not cover.
