Thank you,first person to give suggestions,I'll be working on making it stronger,I wish I could afford to build something nice like everyone else,but unfortunately I don't make a lot ,I have visions of what I want it to look like it's more than big enough for me,I just want to show ppl even tho i used to be a addict, anyone can change an build themselves something they would be proud of,I've worked really hard to get clean and stay clean,if it weren't for my family,I wouldn't be getting the chance to have a second chance at life,for everyone that gave me suggestions I appreciate it,Thanks Jason

Hey you got this man. I'd say you're doing great. A couple things to fix but the big stuff is done. Put some cement blocks under it. You can make this happen

I use cement 'silo slaves', a big footprint to distribute loads better. Look for them locally, used, often cheap.

In the beginning pictures ,been a long bumpy road,we've built this house without tractors,the ground hasn't been flattened, unfortunately even my water line that's attached to a pump that 1700 ft away ,the water line will be dug by hand,my father built the really nice pump house for the pump

Hey Jason, great for you to be on your feet and getting it done. I'd echo what many have said...it'll always, always, always be cheaper and faster to build a good structure than it is to fix one that's wrong.
Keep your eyes open or reach out to a demo company. It's rare that I ever got great full length boards that way...man they love that sawzall...but a lot of good stuff that's been clipped short can be rescued and used for those headers and short jack studs and blocking. Crap like door hardware, hinges and stuff all add up new but end up in the dumpster all the time.
Nothing but good luck for you moving forward.
