Im assuming they had some difficulty raising the walls and getting them to fit down on top of the j bolts. I know people install sleeve anchors after standing the walls to avoid fighting with lining the holes up. It can be difficult. Still very sloppy work. What is the wall height were the j...

I agree with 38chevy454's method. I did my shed very similar to that layout. Make sure to have a support under the doorway. A row or 2 of blocking in between your floor joist helps to solidify and may cut back on your number of supports as well.

I have lugged many sheets of 1/2" plywood and many sheets of 5/8" osb and the osb is much heavier.

Only downfall imo is that osb is much heavier to handle than plywood.

I used 5/8" osb t&g on my roof. It was about 10$ cheaper than 1/2" plywood per sheet. 24" o.c trusses. T&g makes a much stronger roof and no messing with roof clips.

Thanx Dave*99. Ill check my manual. My heat exchanger has 10 yr warranty they claim but i want to avoid that if i can.

Dave*99. I have a LP Big Maxx 80000 btu. Im assuming mine falls under the same caution as your's?? I will check the manual this evening. I was wanting to keep it just above freezing.

Drywalling the ceiling on 24"o.c. is fine. Its commom here to do so. I am using a 1/2" non sag drywall from Lowes. It may sag but will be very minimal. Some will use 5/8" drywall instead if desired.
