This shed thread reminds me of a shed I watched a fellow build on his lot where I could see it as I was driving by once or twice a week.
He posted pictures of it in one of the DIY magazines, I think a woodworking magazine.
From the pictures it looked to be about 10' wide and maybe 12' tall with a gambrel roof. It also had a lean-to shed on one side of it maybe 8' wide. He did a nice job and it looked really nice all painted. What no one else could tell from the pictures in the magazine taken from the front was that I swear that it could have not been much more than 4' deep... :D

It was like Benny Hill's mother's rhubarb pie. He said that she did not like cutting up the rhubarb so she made the pies 4 inches wide and 3 feet long. :D :D

When I built my "Workshop in the Woods" in '07 I purchased a 24'x28' garage package from Menards. The gambral roof allows for wood storage above and I will highly recommend this type of design. This is a two Shopsmith workshop, both are now powered on 240 V.

My blog on Lumberjocks is out of date. I plan to update it soon.

Ah, i thought you said "to ohio", not "to the ohio". Yes, well aware that the bridge is over the ohio. His mom's old place on the hill had a great view of the ohio.
