Because everyone needs to feel better about their craft. Or - should you posses astounding carpentry credentials such as I, you can marvel at your wood engineering master documented below.
Shed of Doom
Perhaps this shed builder built a Marcos once.....

This is like the video where bees lose their encoding so they no longer know how to make a hive and compulsively build an incoherent mess. I want to see how this comes out.

In a previous house I had a neighbour across the road, who had very little idea of how to make things... Endless fascination from my studio window!

Wonderful! Like the best horror films it is deliciously frightening. The 4x2 CLS floor 'joists' will probably last over a year on the ground, and the OSB about the same, longer if it's 18mm, but it's probably 12mm, even 6mm!

Another Krean, you will note.

Kreans are, by nature, shapeshifters, which is frustrating as you can't pick 'em out easily. This one, yes, my one-time neighbour, no.
I didn't say it would be standing, I said the floor might still be there...I'll be amazed if this thing still stands a year from now.

If the walls are 18mm OSB it might have snowball's chance...sort of panel contstruction, stressed-skin if you will, walls holding up the framing... at least until a stiff breeze comes along. Or a large domestic animal leans against it.

It has reminded me that a client, more precisely the client of a colleague, was persuaded to buy a teepee for his grandchildren when they stayed. The idea was to put it up (sorry madam, erect it) in late spring and take it down in late summer. I did this for about three years, putting it up (sorry, madam...) and taking it down, and even at the end I still needed to use the appallingly written and illustrated instructions. I bet the real ones were better made, went together more easily and were a doddle to take down and pack up in order to follow the mighty buffalo herds that roamed majestically over the endless grasslands... grasslands even more endless than the lawn that this one occupied.
