When i say shed I actually mean a log store... It will be built out of textured white concrete block as I have a load of these for free from work, but just need to work out the base.
If I build a timber frame about 100mm high round the area, fill the bottom with crushed bricks rubble etc, and then fill to the top with concrete will this be strong enough to support the walls, Should I go deeper where the walls are going to be (along back and up each side?) I don't really want to have to shift a load of soil out as I have no where to put it, and I don't really want to hire a skip etc...
Also what strength mix for the concrete 3:1 and fairly wet?
