Fifteen years ago, in 1994, I built a storage shed from a kit. The floor of the shed was chipboard. I wonder who thought that was a good idea. I also wonder why I didn't replace the flooring that came in the kit without something better. A section of the flooring, two feet side and eight feet long, soaked up water like a sponge. It finally fell apart under the vinyl tiles I'd put on top of it. Yesterday I worked for several hours to remove the bad section and clean up the mess. I have two pieces of treated plywood, left over from when I had new shed doors built. I think I can repair the damage once I purchase another treated 2x4 to place in the middle of the opening.
