This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Yard and Garden Sheds: Plan, Design, Build (Paperback)
If you know nothing about shed building, then this is the book for you. It has step-by-step instructions from scratch. You can build it! really, I did and I am a female with no knowledge about construction.

This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Yard and Garden Sheds: Plan, Design, Build (Paperback)
This book is a very good book, however it is by no means a complete book for building sheds. It glosses over some of the more difficult parts of building a shed like hanging doors or hanging plywood on the ceiling. It only covers the ideal situation when you receive the perfect piece of wood. I found myself having to cut edges, tack doors in place, and remove braces in order to get things to fit right. I would recommend this book as a starter though. 3 stars.
