Mom lost the receipt.
Mom said that I couldn't return it once I tried to treat the 4x4s, although it clogged almost immediately.
Mom says that I cannot return them because it rained.
People always say to build sheds in dimensions that are multiples of 4' to minimize waste.
I wonder if you would use more 92-5/8" 2x4s than 96" ones.
Let's say that I build an 8x8 floor:
2 2x4x96"
7 2x4x92-5/8"
Front and back walls:
2 2x4x96"
7 2x4x92-5/8"
I guess for the side walls you would have:
2 2x4x89"
7 2x4x92-5/8"
Unless you do California Corners like freebeard said:
Each wall:
2 2x4x89"
1 4x4x92-5/8"
6 2x4x92-5/8"
For each wall you have a base plate, 92-5/8" studs, and double top plates, right?
The ceiling joists go on top, so if you finish the shed you would have a 1.5" gap above the drywall, although if you have half-inch drywall in the ceiling and inch-thick floor for some reason, I guess that problem solves itself.
I keep trying to figure out how I planned on using the different dimensional lumber. I have way more than 4 4x4s.
Oh well.
I think that I wanted 2x6es for the ceiling for additional insulation.
When I looked at this line of sheds before it cost about as much as the lumber alone would. I don't see any compelling reason to cut all of the wood myself when I could buy a kit for the same price, although WayFair usually says that it would take 3+ weeks to ship.
There is a different page that has a menu for the different sizes. I will update this when I find it, but this one is 8x10 for $1,510, with free shipping:

I was joking about the trebuchet. Someone has an old dog ramp and they are going to pay someone to customize it somehow.
How many dog ramps are wide enough for a wheelchair, or is that part of the modification?
I designed a 30" wide ramp, but since I pulled the stump I planned on making it 36".
30" is the minimum width according to the ADA, but apparently I am the only one that cares about that, which is why I never asked the guys at Church to help out. You would have had several guys with the proper tools and experience swoop in and knock it out in a weekend, but they would make it the way they wanted.
Whoever commandeered this said "An 8' ramp would be way too steep, it would need to be 15'!"
Also known as far steeper than the ADA allows, but who cares?!
Of course, the gate is less than 8' away. I asked if they were going to build a drawbridge.
"No, they will just move the gate!"
...and the adjacent fence...
Well, she won't be wheeling herself up or down anyway. It is sad how quickly she went from being ambulatory, just unable to climb steps, to needing someone to push her in a wheelchair.
I started scanning previous messages to see what we had discussed, but that was a different thread!
