Hello all,

How many hours would it take to build a simple 10 x 12 shed?

Too many. See hubpops post outlining some of the steps.

I'm fully capable of building one but instead bought a pre-fab 10 x 16
built by the Amish, sold by a local distributor. I did have to put some
stone down and level it where it was to be dropped.

The guy drops it in place, ties it down and you are set to go and at a
reasonable price.

There is a reason she did not get call backs. They are not interested.
They cannot compete with the specialists.

Did you get a permit?
In Florida you need the same engineering for a shed as you do for a
house. I am guessing your guys had a mastered plan that was approved
by the AHJ.
My shed is block, covered with pavers with dowelled cells and a poured
tie beam that has the truss straps in the concrete.
I managed to scrounge up most of the materials for free so it was only
my time. I am not a very fast mason ;-)

I bought it in CT. I did need a permit but it was simple. I just drew
a box on the plot plan and showed it was X feet from the boundary line,
paid $20.

No shed in FL. I now longer have a snow blower to store and pay to have
my lawn cut.

OK I was curious because you usually need engineering to pull a shed
permit in Florida. They have the same regulation for sheds as they do
for houses. (wind code, tie downs etc).
It actually applies to any structure, even a dog house if they want to
be pricks about it. (or your neighbor calls)
The ones you get pre fab come with the engineering sheets. The county
usually has engineered plans on their web site too. Lee County has one
type for block and one for stick built in a few sizes.
