Lumber arrived yesterday. I am solo getting ahead by constructing the platform and floor. I used PT 2x4, 16” OC, with a blocking for the seam. Used my new Milwaukee 30 degree nailer on this with galvanized 3 1/4 (3 per connection). ((Made myself practice toenailing after this). Then for good...

Gravel day! Not too bad. Pretty stones after a quick rinse.

4:12 roof (or just a degree under). With a front wall height of 91 1/2" The idea behind the front wall height is this will let me use a single 96" tall siding panel, even on the tallest wall. (Disregard the placement of that window, it's out of date.)

Great idea to make a flange on the wire and bury that a bit. Will do that. I use SolidWorks for CAD, I get access through work. Great tool.

Very small yard where we live.

Thank you for sharing your build. Looks tidy!

Was planning to use it as single sheathing + siding. Mostly for time and cost.

mike-- thank you for the input on this one, that's a big help. 5x10 is indeed strange! I am replacing an old 4x6 shed and maximizing the footprint I can build in the constrained space. Absolutely on the sheet usage, it's not ideal. For floor and roof deck, I can buy 3 sheets and "waste" a lot...

I found some very helpful information in this forum as I am researching for upcoming shed build. Figured I would share my plans and progress here in case it helps others -- or in case you all can offer me your experience! I haven't done a shed or garage per se, but what I am attempting feels...

New to the forum here. Just read through your build after researching 2x4 vs 2x6 joists. I appreciated all your images and REALLY appreciate the 10 year follow up. beginning my own shed build in a few weeks.... might start a thread to share. cheers
