I've had pretty good luck with turnbuckles on gates. Unless it's metal, the gate will eventually loosen and sag and being able to adjust dynamically is nice.Those metal braces on the corners wouldn't hurt either.

get something bigger than you need, never heard someone say they wish they had a smaller shedI'm needing to get a small garden shed for my new house. Needs to be able to store a walk behind lawnmower, some various garden shit and trash cans. Any recommendations on that? Also, when it comes to installation, what level of effort is needed for a foundation for it?
Costco had some very cost competitive sheds out on display last weekend that would hold that. I almost bought one just to have until picking a place to sit it.I'm needing to get a small garden shed for my new house.

You need to take care of that deck or you're going to end up replacing that, too.View attachment 432934
Can't seem to figure out where this water is coming in.
Oh, thanks Dish Network guy. Just burrow the fucking cable in the insulation, and then throw a glob of caulk somewhere near it.
The gutters aren't the problem. Deck flashing over the ledger has rusted and rotted away. The deck is near the end of it's lifespan, been there close to 30 years anyway, so I'm not looking for anything substantial when it's just going to get replaced in the near future anyway.You need to take care of that deck or you're going to end up replacing that, too.
Your gutter guard looks full in that corner. If water is just running straight over top of the gutter and your house doesnt have a good elevation slope AWAY from the house, then that could cause the leak. Clean up your gutters, cut that weed trash around the base of the house and report back after it rains. The weed trash around the base being gone should let you see if water is standing shortly after a rain. I would even recommend going so far as to taking the guards off, making sure the gutters are empty. Checking the downspouts to make sure they're empty. Then checking to see if the drainage from the gutters is properly routed. You're looking for something like flashing, and although that may leak at times - rain isnt hitting the side of your house like that. ie. You're barking up the wrong tree.

It's coming in behind the deck support piece that is bolted to your house. You have to put flashing over that to ensure the water sheds away from the house. As it is, it's likely getting behind that board, and the wall is likely saturated, thus it began dripping into our basement. Flash it correctly, and the wall will dry out.
Yep, so I pulled all that off, pulled off that rotted board and the insulation, gotta flash on top of the ledger and put everything back and we should be good.
I hope!
I gotta figure out what the fuck this rotten sheathing is. It is not OSB or plywood, some kinda bullshit fiberboard crap. I dunno if I should keep it the same or update the materials with modern shit for this patch.

Ok, I didnt expect you to have insulation board. You basically have big ass sponges on the outside of your house (in my mind). Best thing to do is put the newest anti-mold shit on it.Yep, so I pulled all that off, pulled off that rotted board and the insulation, gotta flash on top of the ledger and put everything back and we should be good.
