Pro tip: Glue in screw joints stopped my shed from falling apart
I used to think glue was just for fancy furniture, not basic builds. Most folks I worked with said screws alone were fine for outdoor stuff. When I put up my garden shed, I skipped the adhesive to save cash. A big storm came through and the walls began to shake and separate. I took it apart and redid all the joints with construction glue. Now it stands solid through wind and rain without a single creak. That one change made me see how glue adds strength you can't get from fasteners alone.
