    OMG, how long did it take to assemble that many random, disjointed words and ruminations into something insightful ?

    Sorry, didn't realize you have to be an English major to post on FHC...feel free to ignore my posts if they are that painful.
    Edit: Honestly not 100% sure how to take this comment...if I took it wrong, sorry.

    Ahhh wood shed build posts on FHC. These are the best!

    Yes, I read it all;).

    I like that you're making it look like it's a "temporary" building so it doesn't get taxed. I had to do the same at mine, despite that tidbit making it more cost to me.

    That's a lot of lumber that you collected, and those crates are awesome for free lumber.

    You aren't just whistling Dixie there!
    Yeah I had it figured out that during the height of the pandemic lumber prices I was "making" about $100/hr pulling nails!

    Shoot you could have a party patio for a roof or stack more wood on top.

    Nothing wrong with multi purpose structures. Looks like a great spot to put a lawn chair, or a second story.

    My preowned roofing has screws holes at about 25-26"...I really wanted to reuse the existing holes, but thought there needed to be purlins more than every 25-26"...so I went every 12-13" or so...plenty sturdy enough to walk on once the roof is down...I was a little surprised how much nailing these down stiffened things up...and speaking of nails, even the nails were "preowned" for this part of the project...seems like about 1/2 of the nails come out fairly straight when I demo the crates that this lumber came from...I have enough ring shank nails to fill a 5 gallon bucket! (not kidding!)

    Making good progress BTU! Yeah the sheathing or strapping really stiffens things up and ties it together. Dont blame you on the nails. When i take stuff apart like that i do the same. Go buy a 1lb box of 8d nails and youll see what i mean.

    Silicone or any acrylic latex caulk with silicone will seal any holes up okay. Polyurethane caulk is great too. Just make sure its clean before you seal.
