[QUOTE="MotorSeven, post: 944099, member: 9587"] Anchorseal seems to be the most fav end sealer, but any kind of paint will slow the process. Yes you can build with un-kiln dried lumber, but be prepared for the inevetable shrinkage/warpage. Most of the time the checks/cracks in un-sealed lumber won't be structual, but that also depends on alot of factors such as lumber type & how fast it gets dried out. If you are super anal about the fit & finish you better wait until your lumber is seasoned(air dry) at least 6 months or you won't be happy with the results. If not, or if you fall into the "caveman carpenter class" like me, go ahead & get the shed built:monkey: RD [/QUOTE]
