Cathy,

I wish my husband had survived! He was a cabinet maker and extremely talented. I love to read about your projects! So, keep the e-mail coming!

Look at all those appliances... just popping out all over the place...like mushrooms on a rainy day...LOL. I'm so glad that you've started your shed. Just a note, if you keep the dimensions to 4 foot increments, you'll save on the plywood and/or drywall, etc. Less cutting. Your DH is a contactor like mine, so you probably already know this. I'm always having to plan stuff by multiples of 4'.

Some also had aluminum wiring in the walls. I remember that being an issue but I don't remember why. If you're talking about one made after the 70s some of these issues will be gone.

The aluminum wiring was a fire hazard.

He might want to think about going 16 x 32 instead of 18x30. Lumber comes in up to16 foot lengths. It will save you a lot of scrap.
