How to build a shed by yourself diy all steps included start to finish. Diy shed build. A lot of the same steps can be used for a cabin, tiny house, greenhouse, playhouse or any small building. Ever dream of a man cave or she shed to work in or play in? These buildings are so handy to have, you could even live in one! This one is rustic rough cut board and batten. I love how it turned out!

http://bit.ly/CarriageBolts here you can check for carriage bolts but you may be better off getting them at a local place.
http://bit.ly/CordlessTools here you can check out some nice cordless tools if you want some to make the job easier.

http://bit.ly/Window24x24 here you can find a pretty cheap window as well. Otherwise I would recommend the Lowes one.
There's probably more I could add but all I can think of for now.
