Splice together 2 x 4's for storage shed?

WORTHLESS. don't rely on that stuff.

I am building an 8'x10' storage shed from mostly scrap materials for $$ reasons.
I need to construct side walls 7' high using 2'x4's that are 3'- 4' in length.
Is it safe? If so, how should I do it? Mending plates, kerf cuts?

If you've got _lots_ of scrap available, and can add a 'splice piece' on
*both* sides of each point where the butt joints are, I'd say "go for it".
i.e.:
*snip*
that sounds like a decent plan for a storage shed. I would
also coat all the touching surfaces with Liquid Nails. I REALLY
like its ability to turn two pieces of wood into one.
Got to have panels on both sides of the joint though, and, up
a fairly long way from it too.
