You are so close you might just try cropping the picture a little bit, even with a screen capture tool. Without knowing if you're a PC or Mac user and what programs you have, it is hard to give exact instructions, but there are some hints on posting pics at the top of the forum. Until then, the shed sounds good, but it just doesn't really exist until we see it as you probably know :lol:
 
If you have Windows, there is a program for pictures called MS Paint.

Load the picture and then use the Image Menu.

On that menu click on Stretch/Skew

You'll notice that Horizontal and Vertical (the top 2) are set at 100%. Change that to perhaps 60% or whatever.

Now save it as a .jpg file and you should be all set.
 
I have PC with Windows (newer) and the pictures are at Kodak Easyshare.
 
Those pictures should still be in .jpg form so will work nicely in Paint. You just have to import them. If you need more help, just holler.
 
Bingo! Thanks Dennis!

Posts are treated 4x6 , drilled 3.5 feet deep and poured cement with 8 posts, middle post is free stand sit on old cement slab (with bolt drilled in slab and post) all rafters are treated 2x4 and 2x6's. Used galvanized lug screws (1/2 x 4) with galvanized washers on 2x6 connect on posts. Used zinc metal connectors to hold 2x4 and 2x6 rafters with deck screws type. NO nails. Steel roof are recycled from other three old buildings I torn down. Hope it will answer ur questions.

Great shed. Is that a slab in the middle? If so are you doing to pour the rest of the foot print?

Thanks! that old cement slab was old wooden shed with other 3 buildings attached it. you can see bare soil area. I used same measurement for new wood shed. I have several plastic pallets and will use it to hold firewood.
