[Shop-talk] storage shed plans

[Douglas Braun]

Couple of years ago I decided I wanted an 8x12 garden shed, and I
bought a "How to Make a Shed" book, etc.  Then I realized I could be a
well-made, attractive one for only a bit more than all the materials
would cost.  The one I chose was made by the Amish in Pennsylvania
(who seem to ship them everywhere).  The ones sold by Home Depot, etc.
were of much lower quality.
