[QUOTE="Farmer_Joe, post: 7561644, member: 26598"] you will be fine, if your capable of building all the wooden part im sure you more than capable of putting a few bolt boxes down, the idea of the 'foundation' as i understand is ballast to hold the building in place, there really not heavy say compared with a block and stone wall of a house which have much smaller sized foundations. The std size is around 3ft square by 2/3ft deep, is it windy where you are or exposed? how bigger bays are you making, this is for 15ft bays, if your are less i would adjust accordingly. depending on location i would be tempted not to use holding down bolts (the ones cast into the 'bolt box') just use std expanding bolts m20 just get plenty in each leg say 6. there is no reason the bolt boxes can be finished floor level if you want them to be, just makes it neater if there below if you are concreting the shed. pm me as stuff might be much easier to explain on the phone if you like.
