Yes.

I don't know. Depends on the terrain but the biggest thing that comes to mind is whether the ground is frozen, and if so what it's like when it thaws. The sheds we put up here were on pier block foundations and gravel both. The gravel foundations were on a slope we leveled out by adding fill to extend the flat area. It's worked out fine despite the variable weather and excessive rains we've had since doing the work. The size of the shed may require a concrete pad but that is a local building code issue.

Again a few variables. Mostly things to consider with any structure, eg slope, drainage.

Yeah I am trying to do due diligence. My dad bought me this damn John dear riding lawn mower... I don't even mow my yard. Now I have to find a place to store it. It was in village cold storage and all of a sudden it is parked behind my house and when I ask it is "oh yeah we need to get that ...we will do it tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.... guess I got my answer and I will never ask again. I better stop now or it will be a rant. SO..... I am thinking I will wait til spring and figure it out. I am going to call around and ask some site prep people what they do. I want a secure foundation and since I live in a place where it can get wet (everyone around here has their buildings sitting in the dirt and rotting floors) i want to do it right. Another consideration is how are these sheds anchored? Do they need to be?

Has anyone ever Installed a shed and preped the site with gravel? Can it be done in the winter? What do I need to consider?

Probably not wise. The ground will settle under the weight of the structure after the thaw.

I have to agree. I am building a new deck and I’d love to do it now while things are slower, but I would also encourage you to wait till after the ground thaws.

What’s level now, may not be after the ice thaws.
 
A friend of mine owns a shed company, and as one of the earlier posters mentioned, a lot of them do the site prep as well.

Maybe ask their opinion and check reviews.

Now is the time to secure a contractor for spring work. A good contractor will have a recommendation for a shed floor/foundation that's suited for your tractor. My shed is just on blocks and I let it bounce up and down with the seasons. It works for storage and keeps the weather off a lot of stuff. The greenhouse, on the other hand, is build above grade on AWW piers that are set in concrete at 4' below the ground surface. It doesn't bounce with the seasons.

OK, now that we've got things rolling here, let's see what we can find out about each other! Here's some questions I hope everyone will take the time to answer, and of course, I will answer them myself.

1. How old are you? 60, 61 next month
2. If you still work, what field are you in? High School Substitute Teacher
3. What was the last time you got a reminder of just how old you are? Today, I was talking with an 18-year-old and they mentioned how old their mother was, and I was old enough to be their mother's father!
4. Do you have a partner you have sex with? Not at this time
5. Have you found yourself being more or less kinky as you get older? Definitely more
6. If you had a chance to become half your age, physically, would you, and what would you do? I would definitely take that, because most of my medical crap happened in the last 20 years, so I could avoid some of that stuff happening by making changes. And I would probably be going after younger women!
7. What's the best part of being over 50? A lifetime of learning and wisdom that I can't get my own kids to listen to.
8. What's the worst part about being over 50? Things hurting for no good damn reason at all.
9. Do you have less than or more than 5 prescription medications you take daily? I'm at 6 now, but I could be looking at a 7th soon.
10. How many years younger than you is the youngest person you've had sex with? 9, I think, and that would be my wife. I don't know that I knew the ages of previous partners, some could have been younger than that.

Looking forward to responses!

I'll bite.

1) 56
2) Underwriter, recovering Actuary (FCAS)
3) When I found out that I was 10 years older than the mother of one of my employees.
4) Yes, but not as much as when we were younger
5) Way more
6) Most definitely. Climb Kilimanjaro (it was on my bucket list but now won't be able to due to knees/back)
7) Absolutely the long time friendships and family that I am able to enjoy more now that the kids are grown and independent.
8) The flip side of 7, not being able to enjoy my kids younger year's growing up and living at home. Having that all in the past now.
9) Less (2 which I seldom take)
10) 2 years. I always dated (and married) older , even in my early 20s.. Never had a GF more than 2 years younger than me.

I guess some things are universal. Death, the weather and sex, which is probably why we're all on this site, lol.
Not sure about tractors though :)

love tractors and sex. Can’t say the same about death, tho.

Cold weather has killed my 1972 Ford 4000. Battery is good, but it’s not turning over.

I think the super cold has really messed with the fuel. Getting warmer in a few days.
