I did the same thing about 20 years ago but I had a Japanese neighbor who taught me all about yakisugi or shou sugi ban. He first told me to go out and get a discount on their bent wood piles. We will straighten the wood in less than a month, which he did. Next, he ordered me to char all my posts and covered them with two coats of cheap roofing tar. Then we lightly charred the rest of the wood. He said, "your posts are now water proof and when you are done, the entire shed will be both rot and bug proof for ever". Next, he said, "if you can cover it with sheets of copper, your ABB will last forever. And if you use glass cloth covered wiring and Pex plumbing, you won't have plumbing or electrical issues for 70 years.
