building a shed.

Tags: Tools & Workshop
Hi..I am building a 25x12 work/storage shed. I would like to use one layer of 1/2 plywood as both exterior sheathing and finished siding. I plan on 16" centers for studs, and will run strips of 1x2 pine vertically to cover where I nail plywood to studs, and then paint whole thing. Building is in central Alabama. Bad idea? Thanks.
