Thanks for joining my (new) shed building forum. My original forum died and I was unable to recover it. So I'm starting again.

Post your first message here that says hi to all.

Hello. I am trying to post some pictures of my building (shed) but I keep getting a message saying the files are to large when I try to attach the files. The files are JPEG and I have tried to reduce them, but they are still around 2.5 megs. I would appreciate any help regarding how to post the photos. Thank you

I'm new to this software so let me look around and see if I can adjust some settings.

Thank you, but I found out how to shrink the file size for my photos. I found a few pictures from when I first completed my 12'x12' tall barn building with the loft. I also took a recent one just to show how the building is holding up. The 2015 pictures are when I had just finished the building ( I missed moving the piece of 2x4 leaning against the building, sorry). I had it there so the door handle would not hit the building when the door swung open. Anyway, I never finished painting the building, shame on me for being so lazy. The top half and the trim are painted. The rest is the original Hardi-board siding color. I put OSB all around the sides first and then covered that with the Hardi-board. The plans for the building are awesome and well worth the cost. I hope all this isn't too boring as this is my first real post. I am trying to add some pictures for the galley as requested so I hope they show up. The little shed next to the newer one is a 8'x8' made from a kit long ago and shows how much storage I have now compared to the blue shed. When I get the inside of the building better organized I will post some pictures of the loft. You all have a good day.

I have sent a few photos of my shed in a previous post. How do I get them posted on your photo gallery?

Hi, I just recently bought plans for the gabel roof sheds. I have studied the plans and am impressed with the detail. I have moderate wood-working skills and my plan is to customize a little as I go. I really like the 12x16 size and am considering a barn style roof instead to the gabel roof. thanks for publishing the plans.

Hi Phil, thank you for offering these plans for sale. Each set of plans are nicely drawn out for many different size variations.

I will be attempting the 10x20 Lean-To (10 ft short walls) shed this summer and I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I put a concrete slab in this last summer which should save on lumber costs for the floor. My building code allows for 16' peak, can the Cripple Stud Length be modified to go larger length or is it best to stay with 14.7341" (7 deg slope)? Also, do you know if the blocking material is regular 2x4 or a different type of material? Lastly, any advice on where to start on the lean-to roof when the wall framing is complete?

Any response is appreciated, and I'll post pictures when shed is up. If the snow lets up, hopefully, will have one up in April/May timeframe.

Thanks,
Joe
