Got the plans downloaded and materials list ready to go. Planning to start this Saturday morning. Main thing I'm worried about is getting the foundation level because I know that's where most people mess up. Any gotchas I should watch out for? I've done basic carpentry before so I'm not totally lost.
Level is your best friend here man. Get the foundation dead flat or you'll be fighting it the whole build. Take your time on that part and the rest goes smooth.
Nice, building a shed is a solid project. Foundation is definitely the trickiest part but once you nail that, the rest is just following the plan. You got this.
Make sure those materials are all there before you start Saturday or you'll be making frustrating runs to the store. I learned that the hard way. Good luck with the shed.
Get a second person to help with the big pieces if you can. Solo shed building is doable but it gets tedious. Also invest in a good miter saw if you don't already have one.
Are you planning to have your kid help or just managing solo? Either way it's a solid project. I did a small one last year and learned a ton.

Building a shed is legit. My big tip is take your time with the foundation - that's where most DIY shed projects go sideways. Make sure it's level and square before you even start the frame.
