Shed footprint to accommodate standard siding panel lengths

Wondering if this is a common thing. I'm building a 6x10' playhouse/shed. My lumber for the joists is 10 ft' and I've a 12' piece I'll cut in half for the sides. I'm thinking of cutting all the pieces down by 3" to work in the thicknesses of the lumber itself so that when I add siding panels to the walls, a standard width panel (4x8) will just work. Does that make sense? Is this a common practice or am I thinking about this wrong? submitted by /u/whistlerbrk [link] [comments]
