    Ha! Forgot about that signature... good idea to add these threads to it.

    I should have a few more for saws, but I can't remember to take pics during rebuilds. Maybe this winter?

    Haha, thanks!
    I've actually considered a small gtg here. We've had family and friends over for cutting/splitting parties; good times indeed. My tree service connections would definitely keep us in big wood for saw tests!

    Thanks. I enjoy reading build threads so I figured I should do one for this.

    Do wood sheds like this really need to be built to a code? I'm serious. It's not really considered a building, as it doesn't have a permanent foundation.

    Depending on your town, yes... unfortunately.

    You probably would not be sorry. We've had a couple GTG here and had a ball.

    It does depend upon the township codes and could also depend upon whether it is zoned ag or residential.

    Great looking shed!
    Even better that it has so many reused materials and still looks great!

    That's certainly stout. I'd tie those joists together at least on the end to stop twisting.
