I would have saved an immense amount of time using any other method than pilot-drilled screws. But I wanted a rock-solid build so I spent the equivalent of multiple additional weekends piloting holes.A tool like this even if bought new, could save enough time that it will pay for itself with the first project. Even if you sold it afterwards at half price it would be worth it IMO.
I'm big on screwing instead of nailing myself. It also makes disassembly easier, should you need to go that route down the road.I would have saved an immense amount of time using any other method than pilot-drilled screws.

Chance,
Your project reminds me of something my best friend's dad once told me, while holding a door hinge.
You see... the problem with having a shed is that you have a place to put stuff, like this hinge. Then one day, you discover the hinge, and wonder... what can I do with this? So you go out and buy another hinge, so that now you have a pair, and come up with a project to build.
Your friend gave you some decking for free. Then you went out and bought blocks, and brackets, sand, stain, water sealing duct tape, and maybe had pay to get your blades sharpened after cutting all the free wood.
Still, I'm sure that your Mother-in-law greatly appreciates, your labor of love.
If You live in a heavily populated area, many of the places that sell pre-made sheds do not purchase by the truckload.View attachment 48647
How I built my last shed.

Took about an hour to set it up.
It's a solid, steel frame with alluminum roof and walls. The floor is double 3/4" marine plywood on a 6x6 frame and 6x6 joists at 16 centers. The cost to build one of wood was twice as much as I paid for the one that had been owned by somebody before me. I drilled some holes and hung peg board to be able to store a lot of stuff on the walls.If You live in a heavily populated area, many of the places that sell pre-made sheds do not purchase by the truckload.
Here in VT they do, A vacation summer homer from NJ saved over $1000 dollars buying one up here VS. buying one in NJ where he is from. He's a retired construction contractor from NJ. Some trips to P/U a pre-fab maybe worth it some cases.
looks nice chance. Good job!
Yes, that looks awesome! Nice job!looks nice chance. Good job!
