Hence is it time to build your own shed? Well I will talk from experience when I say yes - the problem was that I didn't have a clue where to start, so I flew by the seat of my pants and it ended up costing me big time. I was spending money hand over fist and making too many journeys to the supply store because my plans would change so frequently.

I was wasting materials and in some cases I had the wrong materials to start with because I did not have a clear idea what the final project would even look like. I never did finish the first project and trust me when I tell you that I was well out of code and way broke from where I started. I finally tore it down! But then I discovered something that really made a difference! Let me share with you something that I did not even know existed...complete plans you can purchase on the internet that will allow you to build your own shed like a pro!

A "Do It Yourself" fantasy

1 - A complete set of plans and a picture of the finished shed. I would like that the best!

2 - A complete materials list so you only buy what you need greatly reducing the amount of trips to the lumber store.

3 - A cut list giving you all of the correct lumber cuts which may seriously reduce waste.

4 - Step by step plans so each part is built precisely at the right time so your project runs smoothly.

5 - Straightforward to understand legends explaining even some of the tougher concepts like electrical schematics which were awfully cool I thought.

Caution: I found that not all plans offered online came with all of these features. The free plans were enticing but I found out that they were only simple drawings without schematics or material lists.
