It sounds like the Tstuds are clamped down while they dry so they don't warp. Sure, plenty of boards warp at the box store, but how many of you have had them warp after you bought them?

I am unimpressed with the kiln-drying process, but what is the success rate?

90%?

99%?

I am sure that it depends on the dimensions.

I am positive that I already watched this, but I started playing it on Mom's television yesterday. I expected her to come home and yell at me to change it to Hallmark, but she seemed to enjoy criticizing the Canadian.

"How many sheds have you built?"
"None! I am not a carpenter!"
"He has been doing this successfully for decades. Look at his house! That is beautiful!"

He said that he ran to Home Depot and looked at their commercial sheds. He built this with 16" on-center studs [the roof is 12"], but theirs were 24", and they used many 2x3s.

He said that all of his materials, including the concrete foundation, cost as much as the commercial one, but it would last far longer:
