Many many years ago, I wanted to put up a shelf in my garage.  Unfrotunately,
a hurricane had just taken out a big section of Flordia.  I couldn't 
believe the
increase in the price of 2x4s and 1/2" plywood.  So concidering what's been
happening in this country lately, it may be a lot cheaper, quicker and easier
to get on of the vinyl sheds from Costco, BJ, Sams, or even HomeDepot/Lowes.
I build a 10'w x 12'L vinyl shed from lowes about 3 years ago for about $1800,
including cinderblock for the floor and foundation.

I've seen some really nice sheds at Costco pretty cheap $600 to $800.
