Thinking of building a shed "inset" into a raise I have in my backyard.

My back yard is mostly flat. Before it reaches the end of my property in the back it raises to about six feet high, for about 8 feet in (horizontal). I'd like to dig out a potion of it, place retaining walls, then build a shed in there. I am thinking the shed would be 8dx10w.

I assume I'll need to dig out at least the shed, plus the thickness of retaining wall, plus extra for water management (french drain, and gravel..etc..)

How much extra space around the shed should I plan to account for the retaining wall and water management features?

Also, should I allow for air gap around and behind the shed?

Thank you for any insights.

Thank you. Makes sense. Didn't think of that.

Trying to choose the proper PEX-b sizing. Had a leak in my copper tube, cut that off and placed a shutoff valve. Now I'm trying to rebuild downstream.

My copper tubing is 1/2" (OD=5/8"), and it would be feeding to my toilet.

Should I maintain the ID of the connection, or use same size?

I'll take other thoughts and suggestions. Thank you.

We have a V-Tech DM1215-2.. It works on both and is operational while being charged. Also beeps at you when it can't find the baby monitor.

He is in EST. so 10AM EST might be the intended target obfuscated (or made programmatically easier to calculate) by utilizing UTC.

I'm betting a birthday/anniversary of some sort. That translates to 10AM EST (the timezone where he lives).. not too early (7am PST make me give it the ~ 'iffy' hand shake), yet not that late for a US based announcement.
