This is my first shed I built during the earlier part of this year, used as a storage shed for my collection of tools and stuff when we bought a new piece of property, 1-1/4 acre. This will finally give me room to build my dream shop that I've always wanted, a 30x30x10 side walls.
This shed is 12x16x8 sidewalls, finished with T-111 Ply with a shingle roof. The flooring is crushed lime rock that was wetted and compacted with a plate compactor. It's pretty hard.

The last one, this is a the finished project with the exception of some landscaping the wife wants to do. She just had to get her hands onto MY project and tweek it just a little, I guess it's the her way of contributing to the project.
Over the past few years she has got her hands dirty with me, everything from re-roofing our old house, to helping me pull a few engines out of my old trucks. She even helped on the shed when my son injured his knee during the shed raising, not doing the shed raising but else where.
Nice work.
For some of us 12 x 16 would be an enormous workshop.

Nice shed. I built sliding shed doors that look almost like yours but I put the 2x4 structure on the outside to get the rustic barn look.
Pardon my ignorance but what are the vertical "frame" members just in a little bit from the edges of the door for?

Those verticle boards in the door panels are where the two odd width sheets of T-111 meet. There was little nailing surface for those small pieces and didn't want them to twist or bow out at the verticle seam from the hot Florida sun baking them for the good part of the day.
The front is 12 ft wide, with two three foor doors, so at the hinge side of each door there is a 12" piece of T-111.
