I'm about to finalize the purchase of a new home and there's a decent-sized shed in the backyard that has a ladder leading to a second level. However, it's not in great shape, with a lot of algae on the roof and significant rot in the wall panels, including some holes. I'm looking for some advice on whether I should attempt to fix it or just replace it completely. As a single parent, I'm trying to keep costs low, but I'm willing to put in the effort to do repairs myself, especially since my friends can lend me tools. What would you all recommend: fix the existing shed or go for a new one?

Definitely check the zoning regulations first! A two-story shed might be over height limits in your area, and if you replace it, you'll need to make sure it aligns with current rules. If it’s permissible to fix up the old one, that might save you a lot of hassle and cash.
Gotcha. I'll look into that, thanks!
