Notes on shed construction

A few resources I’m finding useful in building a shed:

  1. A neat kit from Lee Valley, which includes a detailed plan for a basic shed, including a parts list, and hardware that should make attaching the roof trusses easy (I hope!),
  2. Also acquired at Lee Valley, a reprint of a classic book published by the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service a million years ago (well, no, in 1969), with the charming title “Low-cost wood homes construction manual
  3. A text called “Advanced Wall Framing” which came in handy to make me feel better about a mistake I made in one of the few deviations from the plan that I made.

    The third Link to the PDF doesn’t work in this form. But thanks for the tips.

    Try removing the trailing space and hyphen from the link. It looks like there’s some extra text in there.
