They’re supposed to be well thought out, and put together, we shall see, maybe.

My FIL used the asphalt roofing for his garage/shed siding and 46 years later is doing well.  The T1-11 on my garage was installed in 1997 and the bottoms have to be cut off.  Where the rain splashes, it has split apart about 1 foot up.  Hoping to put in new marine plywood and then cover with hardiboard.

Is this a dirty suggestion?  Vinyl Siding??  Easy to work with, very forgiving on cuts most of the time.  I keep scraps for smaller projects and rarely have to buy more than J channel.

Interesting Amazon offering.   Too bad it's not just a little bigger and without the center walls -- would make a nice man-cave workshop

The Jamaica cottage and sheds site has some similar, didn’t really check out the prices. To Mr Woodbutcherbynight, I think I know how to nail/screw some 2x’s together, kinda straight, level, and plumb. I don’t know me nothing about vinyl siding.  

Wife and I sided our house with vynil. If us two can do it, anyone can.

It don’t melt out there in the hot sun? (I know it doesn’t, just trying to be funny).

Naw, it doesn't melt. It does get squishy, though. 

Fine Homebuilding just put out an article on sheds.

Always room to learn something new. 

Ok Artie, shed should have been built by now, where's the pics!

Well my milk of human kindness has it’s limits. I told the MIL that I would demo the old shed, and build/install/research the new one. I also said that I would have nothing to do with the emptying of the old shed. Old  shed is still pretty full. This probably has at least a 25% chance of not even happening. BUT YES, iff’n it comes to fruition, I will try to do a photo/essay narration on the project, on a par with John, and Jess’s, (no way I can do one as good as Steve’s) so all will know how NOT to build a shed.
