    Not sure if I will have a moisture issue.
    I have a 12 x 12 shed by the same mfg and I have no issues what so ever.
    All of the floor joist and plywood flooring are pressure treated.

    I picked up 1 of the Lights America 4 ft LED Shop Light's from Sam's Club today for $36.87.
    It is rated at 40 Watts & 4,200 Lumens and is Bright White 5,000K
    I hung this one in the laundry area of the garage to check it out. Tried removing the existing incandescent bulb, screwing in an outlet adapter and using a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter. That didn't work. The light requires a ground to work. So I will be replacing that light socket with a duplex outlet.
    I am pleased with the amount of light it produces and will have 12 of these for the shop lighting.

    Just wanted to let you know I have a 26 x 50 shop, and use a 2 ton central ac unit to cool it. It does cool the shop about 20 degrees lower than outside temperature.

    Of course it will cool the workshop, but what is your humidity curve? Humidity is the problem with tools made from steel and cast iron that is the concern, not whether the 2 ton unit can cool the space. Right now, it is 90 degrees outside where I live and 89% humidity. I have an 11k window unit, well insulated walls and ceilings with every jointed sealed and my humidity in the shop is 29%. The temp inside the shop is 74 degrees.

    I will not know until I get the shop up and running.
    I can at that time decide to run the air continuously at maybe a little higher temp when no using the shop or install a dehumidifier.
    Trust me, where I live is very humid, central east coast of Florida.

    Great news !!!!!!

    The shed has been delivered from the factory to the local dealer.
    I will go by and check it out and schedule a delivery date.

    Love it when a plan starts to come together.

    Things are coming together.
    I was scheduled for Jury Duty tomorrow. I called in tonight to see if I had to report and was told that I didn't have to report

    That means that I can go to the shed dealer tomorrow and inspect the shed. If everything checks out, then I schedule a delivery and setup date.
    I'm hoping for Wednesday LOL, but we will see.
    Still need to take down the privacy fence on the side of the house for them to be able to get it into the backyard.

    Can you tell that I am excited

    Looking good. Put in some wiring, insulate, put some plywood on the ceiling & walls, and you'll be ready to build some shop cabinets and make saw-dust.

    Congratulations........ Post pictures as you go.

    I've never seen that type of bracing on a shed before, is that because of where you live (i.e. hurricanes)?

    It may be. It has to be certified for 150 mph winds.
    I have seen other sheds that are not as well built. Lark does a great job. This is the second shed that I have gotten from them.
    They are built in Vadalia, GA. It even came with some Vadalia Sweet Onions
