For several years I have considered bulldozing my old shed down and building a new one. The foundation is not good; termites have gotten in the walls; and you could take a shower in there with all the condensation falling off the metal roof.
I have seen you post several times about the shingle roof on your shop. I assume it is on trusses 16 or 24 inches on center. What I would like to know is what kind of walls do you have and how are they built to carry the weight of the shingle roof. Especially interested to find out if you have steel walls and if so How do you like them.
I would like to build a 24 or 28 foot square shed with a shingle roof but have not decided how I will build the walls. Any wood in contact with the ground has to be UC4C or UC4B treated to .60. Normal lumber yard pressure treated wood will not do.
What I really need is a stick built garage but the concrete slab has priced me out of building it so I keep putting it off and just using my old shed I have thought about (even priced it all out in the past) going with a post frame and steel walls over house wrap or tar paper; with post 8 feet apart and a double 2x12 header at the top of the post to hold up the roof but UC4C treated to .60cca post are very hard to find and really cost a lot per pole and I really am on the fence about using steel even for the walls. I am now thinking about putting a 12" x 12" x 36" tall concrete footer in the ground and setting either a double 2 by header across the footings and stick building from here up; or just putting 6x6 post on the footings and building it like a post frame building.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
