![]() "Hello there, I’ve been meaning to send you some photos of one your shed designs I built a couple years ago and finally got around to it over these holidays. It was a blast to build and your plans and instructions were super. We use it a ton, both as a storage shed and as a little cabin in suburbia. When I was building it I ran into a guy who was tearing down and old mill near here that had real 1 x 12 cedar that I used for the siding and I tried to fit the cabin under an old cedar tree in the yard which gave it a “always had been there sort of feeling”. And the skylight really does a great job of filling the shed with light – nice touch. Anyway, thanks for a great book and I am ordering your cabin book soon." Thanks again, Ed Caldwell, Everett, WA "My husband purchased your book: Sheds The Do-It-Yourself Guide for Backyard Builders and used many of the plans and techniques from it. You will see from the attached pictures that, although our shed and covered patio are not exactly the same as your plans, they were definitely inspired by the pictures and plans within the book. We wanted to thank you for the inspiration. Although we still have several finishing touches to complete (I think that is part of the process when you do your own renovating!), the projects are essentially complete and we are very proud of our final product. We have enjoyed several lovely afternoons and evenings in our new covered patio. Thanks again for the inspiration and for the opportunity to share our photos with you." Karen and Tim Gigliotti, Toronto, ON "David and Jeanie, I just wanted to thank you for your books! I wanted to build a garden shed for my wife and found your book the best source. I constantly referred to it and could not have done it without you! Everything from the info on the roof pitch to safety to the type of siding. I thought it was all great!" Thanks, Jeff Dinardo "I have bought and read every book I cold find about designing and building small buildings. I have to admit that David Stiles has done a fabulous job in presenting building knowledge to a do-it-yourselfer. The illustrations, drawings, and pictures capture the imagination. I have personally reread this book several times and have made it required reading for the carpenters that work with me here at the shop. A must read for anyone thinking of constructing an outbuilding sanctuary." JamaicaCottageShop.com "This book’s a winner. I couldn’t have built my shed without this primer." A reader from Milton, MA "We bought the hardcover edition of this book a few years back. It gets the ideas rolling in your head. My husband and I built a very cool shed after being inspired by the ideas in Stiles book." Linda Kenzle, author of Gathering "When I found this book, I thought even I could build a Potting Shed! As a total ‘Do-It-Yourselfer’, I used this book as a guide through the entire building process. Having never attempted a project like this, I was inspired by the different variations and types of sheds this book demonstrated. Thanks to the author for offering all the directions to build a shed from start to finish. I couldn’t have built my shed without this primer. I also used his valuable ideas for the interior as well. Now I have an outdoor oasis to escape to, I have increased my property value, and am looking to build my next outdoor project!" |
