   edit     .....   Denman, NOBODY noticed it yet to say welcome, but asthis was your first post, WELCOME. As you can see, you will get all kinds of inputs here.  Own claim to fame here is building the cheapest sheds (either laabor only or under $5 cents sq ft), so with that in mind, you can peruse the following.

    

   Plans?  Shed?  Ya gotta be kidding, if one uses a level more than once or a tape measure more than 3 times ...

   it aint a shed anymore<G>

   "plan' for a shed is 'ya' look around the scrap piles, visualize how the items could be converted into a shed, and 'walla', a shed.

   For a catalog of shed designs, see:

   Hey! How'd that thread on yer sheds get by me like that? Danged lack of infallibility strikes again.

   Hate when that happens.

   As to Denman32 we have little idea if he wants a just functional shed or a 'see my' prettyboy type of shed or what point in-between.

   Reminds me of the vastness of the arena. Doug knows you rule the roost.

   I recall when living down in Tulsa, near the downtown area was the river which always had a goodly number of people fishing off the banks.

   There was always a big interest in these huge plant eating dinosaur type fish which name slips my mind at the moment and I'm too lazy to go look it up.

   Every now and then they would kinda roll on the surface for a second revealing a bit of their size. Kinda cool. Ultra long thick poles to catapult the snag hooks were used to propell the line out away from the bank as they would reel in using short tugs trying to snag one of these none meateaters with the large hooks. Anyways,

   You might see guys going for these with nice rigs fishing for sport or the other end of the spectrum with guys using old poles for rods and sparkplugs for sinker weights, where not catching anything would mean a slack meal that day. We use to call it 'sustenance fishing'.

   A shed can be like that,snort* when the immediate need far outweighs the gloss and glimmer of a 'stand back boys we'alls gonna throw some money at this project' shed when all someone is looking for is an economical functioning cover of storage limiting the amount of zimzamzowiebells&whistles that can accompany any project.

   I wonder if Densman32 has a want or a need.

    

    

   I never had a problem with character, people've been telling me I was one ever since I was a kid.

   I bought some plans from betterbarns,  and they sent a really professional set of cad drawings,  and more importantly,  a great lumber list/ cut list.  

   I did this one

   http://www.betterbarns.com/thisPlan.asp?ProductID=2015

   and put it up in about 7 easy days,  from pile of lumber to moving all the crap I should have thrown out,  but made room for instead into the shed.

   This link 44541.1 had some nice sheds in something like the first half of the thread that might help you out.

   Taunton Press has a good book on sheds and their construction.

   You need that drawn up by an architect, and stamped by and PE (Professional Engineer).  Your foundation needs to go 8' below grade and have #8 rebar on 12" centers both ways.  I recommend IPE siding and flooring and spray foam insulation under the 3/4" drywall.  If you use redwood siding - that is just plain ghetto!  You can clearly see that demonstrated if you put drain cleaner on redwood.  And, you need to screw together all the framing.   If you use anything less than 3/4" T&G plywood for roof sheathing it will have ripples in and look terrible.  12 ga copper makes a good roof.  Hope this helps.
