I have uploaded a new updated version of this video to YouTube. The new version contains more detailed information about how I built this storage shed. I think you'll enjoy it.

By the way, I really like my new shed so far. :)
@PatriotEarth I used a rafter square to mark the rafters and cut the notches with a circular saw. To install the rafters I drilled holes down from the top and fastened them using two 40-D nails on each end.
@mangeunscio It is fairly large. The back walls are at least 6' 6" and the front wall is over 8'. I use it to store the usual patio and backyard clutter. For storing a large amount of wood, I'd build a stronger floor. Probably 2x8 floor joist nailed 12" OC. Possibly triple the 3/4" plywood floor, instead of two pieces as in this one. Also add two more 4x4 post to the center of each side of the floor base to support the weight. It should then hold all the wood you can stuff in it. ;)
@mrflyfishingak My county did if I attached it to the house. The county zoning department also let me know the sq. ft. limit for out buildings, which was important since I already have another storage building, and where on my lot I can build. They also reminded me to check with the Home Owner's Association. Our limit was the building had to be less than 100 sq ft. and 15 feet away from the sides and back edge of the property line. If the building were a large barn it would have to be 40 feet.
@ENJAYALLDAY57 It's 15# felt paper used as a moisture barrier. It's just tacked on with staples and it helps keep the shed a little dryer in rainy weather. It's the same felt paper that I used on the roof when installing the shingles. Like the roof, install the felt paper starting at the bottom and work your way up. Glad you like the shed and hope this helps. :)
Nice vid, nice shed, thought the music was ok.

No offense to you because I know your just stating the rules, but. My county will not dictate what I build on my property

Great video. What tools did you use to make the notches in the roof support beams / trusses?

and btw, you did a fantastic job on this shed!

It looks like you used a computer program to design your shed. What program is it please?

@schnej1 I used Windows Paint and drew it by hand.
