"gotchas" when building a 10x14 shed?

[shedpaul]

I can build a <150sqft shed in my county without a permit so I am going to build a 10x14 lean-to shed. From the plan download, I realize 10x14 isn't an ideal dimension for material use. I get that, but I'm set on 10x14.

By this weekend, I hope to have all my concrete piers leveled, my 3 rows of skids on, and my joists and plywood floors on top. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and lay out the decking to exactly 10x14 if I should downsize it a bit because I'll end up using more siding (LP Smartside), for example.

I keep thinking about all the scenarios in my head, but I can't foresee an issue with just building the floor to 10x14. I'll miter trim boards at the 4 corners to cover any gaps.

What am I forgetting?

Thanks
Paul

There shouldn't be too much waste on a 10x14. Mostly in the floor and roof. The siding will use half sheets on all 4 walls and have no siding waste.

Thanks Phil.

I made some good progress today. I received all my materials a week ago, and finished leveling the concrete blocks after each work day. I finished yesterday (Saturday).

The shed sits on 3 rows of skids over 5 blocks per row.

Today I got the floor and 2 walls on. The back wall is on 12" centers as I plan to hang a big lumber rack (I woodwork) on there.

My riding mower will be in there, too, but looks like I will need a long ramp on the left side.
