How Not To Build A Shed: An Illustrated Guide
Caught a link to this from another forum. Had me literally in tears. Basic story is some guy's landlord started building a shed on the property. Staggering displays of incompetence ensued. The tenant decided he had to bring it to world's attention. I immediately knew I had to bring it to the maggots attention.
The thread is LONG but is TOTALLY worth the read.

Up close some issues become a bit more clear
advanced toe-nailing techniques
this one absolutely slayed me
way better than those lousy prefab sheds from home depot
There are even time lapse videos of the master carpenter (and helper) at work.
Thanks for this one Canada, we owe you.Originally Posted by Odin

I can't wait till it rains. Poor guy probably lived in something similar wherever he came from.

Wholly shit! Does it snow there? 2x's on the flat for the rafters ...amongst everything else. That thing is going down in a heavy wind or snow.

I actually have lived in less than that in AK. Tent Cities. I've seen double-story units more dodgy than that frame survive winters with snow. (But those were inhabited by mountaineers working for fish. Snow caves suffice for Saturday excursions.)
This builder is straight up high.
