Is there another term for 3/4 clean gravel. Cannot find or get info from vendors.

Great video. Not conventional building practices but it'll do for what you're planning to use it. I'd of recommended stapling metal mesh screening (hardware cloth) across the open ends of your 4x4's to keep critters (racoons, skunks, etc...) from building dens under the building.

Very detailed and educational video. Great job. The video not only teaches, it inspires.

Stumbled on to eleven gambrel rafters 11 foot 3.5 inch span. Not sure why the 11 foot but whatever. Were cheap. Intend to create a step/block/gusset to adapt to my 10 foot shed. Possibly add ribs on outside of walls to add support. Here in eastern NC, don't get much snow, wind is more of a concern. Start bending nails next month. Waited till it got HOT!

hand tamper did the trick? or would you say a compactor would have been better?

Fun video for beginners can you tell me where I can find Andrew the surf instructor?

Can I use 3/4 limestone instead of gravel. I having a hard time finding 3/4 clean gravel in my area.

80 MPH (yes, I was speeding), radio muted, wife on the phone, and it sounded a little louder than before I installed the crossbars. How simple and cheap. Almost thought about sending the crossbars back, but they just might be here to stay. Thank you!!!

Thanks very much for the video. For anyone who cares, this works. No need to contort your body. Can feel the screws with fingers. For the ones on the corners, temporarily remove the foam padding and it is a straight shot to the screws no problem. Will need to push up on the metal tabs underneath in order to get the holder pushed back into place on the console rails. I held the squeeze lock pressed with a small cresent wrench. Looks good.

Water will run uphill on 12/12 pitch. An ice damn can form on the eave edge. Melting ice will run down top surface until it meets the iced over edge. Gravity will then push the water backwards up the slope under the shingles. I fought this problem for a few years. Only cure was an ice shield.

What did you screw into? Just vinyl siding?

So you had an existing 20 amp circuit running to your garden shed. You tied into that and ran a 12-3 line to the new shed and attached a new 20 amp breaker and a 15 amp breaker. By my math you're now running 55 amps of service off that original 20 amps going to the garden shed. That original breaker going to the garden shed is now very underrated, and the original wiring is undersized. What am I missing?

Great video. I've never really looked at the specifics of installing vinyl siding, and it looks like you did a quality job. That being said I find it disappointing that you built this shed like a tank so far, and then decided to wrap it in plastic. It's not a choice I would have made, but I'm sure it helped keeps cost and labor down. I've had homes with vinyl siding and it fades, stains, cracks, and can be difficult to clean when it starts molding/mildewing.

Thanks for the video, it's definitely one of the best I've seen regarding building the gravel base and shed floor. I'm definitely going to follow your blueprint here. One question, I know you secured the wood posts for the gravel base with rebar, but how do you secure the actual shed floor to the ground? I was thinking you could secure the wood skids using rebar as well. I'm assembling a resin shed which has some weight to it and I will be securing it to the shed floor but I don't want to depend on the weight of the shed alone to make sure it can sustain heavy winds. What do you suggest as far as ensuring the shed itself is secured to again sustain strong and heavy winds?

A mig welder works way better for welding

Hi from Colombia! I'm about to purchase and use it on my old car. Hopefully that would fix that annoying noise when turning the wheel.

Great video 👍 thanks

Great build! I’ll be checking out the rest of the playlist. I’m preparing to build a shed for/with my neighbor.

Just a tip - You cut your insulation and the insulation dust was spread all over the lawn. Next time, use a tarp under the table saw so you can at least capture 90% of the insulation dust to dispose of it rather than leaving it in your lawn as pollution.

I left my slope. This let water still flow during heavy rains. The front is like 6" grave and back 3 but it is gravel. The top can be raked. The base can be level but over time that perfect level is no more. Unless you have JND eyesite you are good.

Those welds you call spot welds are to refered to as plug welds. Spot welds are performed with a spot welder. A spot weld is actually fusing/melting two metals together by use of intense pin point heat.

🌞👍 Great video thanks for all the details 💯 it help me out greatly 🔆

Can you put a full comprehensive list of everything you used? I know you have the four in the description but you used clear coat, polish, smoothing compound. A lot of info is missing.

What was the total cost of supplies? I’m planning to build one, as well

Impressed!

What are your thoughts in sheathing the walls first before adding the roof trusses. I've heard sheathing the walls first adds much needed stability "square"ness of the wall before supporting the load of the roof trusses and rafters.

I liked how you built the floor system and how you added in the ridgid foam for insulation, which was genius! Well done, Sir!

That glue you used is for CPVC… never seen that done on conduit before. There’s a gray glue in the electrical aisle that is what usually is used.

Great series, though your table saw use is frightening.

Do you need to re-seal the pressure treated lumber when you cut it?

I give this review a F minus

Super nice Karl! It's absolutely beautiful. You have a lot to be proud of. Quick question - did you use anchors to anchor your shed down? If so, what type, and do you show this in one of the videos? I discovered your series and am getting ready to build a pad for my 10x12 shed. I'm going to use Tuff Shed and add some of my own options but I will use your gravel pad video as my guide.

It’s been my fave ANYWHERE for many years.

For the floor in the end you mention adhesive but didn't say what you used for adhesive. Also will that adhesive stick to the joist tape you put down? Thanks.

0:25 I always love going on this specific road on our way to CB

Where is the water going to drain to ?? looks like a heavy rain is going to give you a 4" swimming pool

Hi Karl, great work! I plan on building this style shed in my backyard as well. Did you happen to use a specific plan? If so could you point me in the direction/sharing? I’m having a hard time finding one with a loft this height. Thanks for allowing us to be part of your journey

Hi Karl thank you for sharing your videos ! So helpful I plan on building this exact size barn w loft also. If so was there a plan you used for reference? And where can I buy it?

Karl nice video and tutorial. I am planning to build a 12 by 16 similar to yours. Was planning on a lean to roof but considering the gambel style because of the loft idea. Was just curious did you cover your floor too when it rained?

Great video. Only question, what part of the country are you in AND how thick is your gravel base?

Should leave bottom plate full length. Cut out doorway once you have it up

Excellent looking base.

Seems the only difference is the color temperature.. maybe switch to 55w hid

Shout out to PCMR. Nice hat.

how many yards of gravel did you buy?

👍thanks

Great work

Karl! Nice work. I'm gearing up to build my shed and your videos are easy to watch and I appreciate your explanations. Thanks again. Confidence achieved.

Hi, just wondering what the peak height of the shed was after walls were installed and roof was put on?
