    • All You Need to Build a Shed with Character

I had a lot of fun building a shed for the first time and this book pointed me in the right direction every step of the way. I used the red Board and Batten shed as a guide and found that no plans were needed if you followed along and have some basic carpentry skills. I was building into a tight space so reduced it to 7x7 and added shake siding for more detail. Almost every chapter provided useful information, and I borrowed ideas from the other sheds examples in the book. What the book didn't help with was how slow I am, as many weekends as this took you would have thought I was building a house. Making matters worse, I constructed most of it at my house, loaded the pieces onto a Home Depot flat bed truck and assembled at one of my rental properties. I highly recommend this book if you are thinking of building a shed with a little more character than the ones you see in front of the big box stores. ... show more

    • Some text is gray in the Kindle version
The content seems good thus far, but some of the text in the Kindle edition is gray instead of black. For the price, this book should be properly formatted.

    • Great great pictures and beautiful sheds
Love this book! The visuals are stunningly perfect to build using professional methods of construction. But......you'll still need a set of plans unless you are an experienced builder.

    • I love building Sheds!
What a beautifully done book! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini's got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!

    • It is a how to book that leaves you with questions, then shows you how to purchase complete plans
It was ok book, but it left out about 15% to leave you with questions. You have to either look it up on youtube or purchase the plans. I'm pretty good with searching stuff on youtube but it has proved to be difficult for exactly what you need. Buying the plans were something I tried to prevent to do to save some money. Might just purchase the plans but I think it's really shady of them to do that. But even if I do that, I didn't use a wood floor, I used a concrete slab. I am finding out that I need to put a waterproof gasket between the concrete and wood otherwise the wood will rot. I'm sure that won't be on the plans I purchase either. ... show more
