Great thread. I plan on building a shed as well and have two questions:-

Keep in mind that I have no building skills so use easy language

1. The pier block system looks like the idea way to build, but how do you level on a sloped yard? My whole backyard has a gentle slope all the way down to the road (i live on a corner lot), so one side could easily be 4" higher than the other.

2. I figure an 8' x 8' shed will suit my needs nicely and I won't need a building permit for somethign that small. I want to build this in the corner of my yard, but I have a 7' tall fence that I cannot touch - it belongs to the city. How would I do this? I couldnt see moving it into posistion once its built?
