I picked this up to see if it could offer some ideas for a shed I'm thinking of building. There are a some pieces of construction advice that could be handy, and a few interesting ideas in here about features one might want in a shed.

Good, but if you are really planning to build a shed you will want to get more info about foundations and carpentry tricks when running into challenges.

Good, but I wish it had included the actual plans for the four sheds discussed.
