My hubby and son built a potting shed as a fun project this summer. They did the whole thing from scratch, even made their own trusses. It is a "Salt box" style.
The potting shed my hubby and son built.
They started of course with the floor. It is an 8x12 shed.
First stud wall assembled on the floor.
And then assembled the stud walls.

Next is to enclose the building with plywood and install the windows.
