I have built some sheds and farm buildings in my time. The primary rule I
followed was to size everything to take advantage of the sheet goods. The
idea that this ham fisted caveman could lay up those sheet goods and have
big GAPS is definitely scary. I can not imagine this building lasting very
long.

For anyone afraid to clik the links from an unknown poster...

I did without problems, everyone should see this.

I came from an area in the south that had nothing and people made do
with whatever they could lay hands on, this is a little scary even to me.

Cover the outside with vinyl siding and the inside with paneling and
carpet and sell it at night.

might not make it till Friday. Current predictions are for heavy
storms starting Thursday morning.
