nice job but what if you're too chicken-shit to climb onto a roof?
I am a Marine, chicken-shit never enters my mind.
Easy,,When your balls drop and you grow some body hair you can get to work to save some money,,
@@stevewinans5689retired for a decade now. The days of me climbing on my roof or even hi up a ladder are long since past. I'm not American but thx for your service however it's easier to admire the stoic bravery of the greatest generation.
@@jamescameron204 My balls dropped a long time ago son. I guarantee they are much lower than yours, literally!
@@R0yL33 Highly Doubt it,,Sounding like you afraid of getting on a roof, meaning your grapes haven't descended as of yet,,
$8,500 Total cost with lots of labor. Take your time though..no need in rushing this kind of project. Again for the 900 people asking..it cost $8500.00..trying to save everyone time in scrolling for the costs of this project...$8500.00.. just helping out ..good job on this build. Thumbs this up so everyone can see it please..thank you
+Real Razzy lol - just when I was about to go looking. Thanks! :)
+Real Razzy 8500? for what ?
getting the concrete done would already cost $7500 that includes concrete, but not the excavating
on lumber it would cost at least $3000,think only of the spruce plywood thats $20 a sheet
i just priced out my own attached garage...26x38....$27000 all in, doing most of the work myself
+gerb dj +gerb dj 8500 is the cost total. You have 412 more square footage in your project. you probably used more nails, wood, cement, and unnecessary materials that inflated your project costs. He spent 5k on cement and 3500 on wood...I'll let you add it up...and by the way this garage was built 6 years before this video was made so look at the costs back in 2005 because the prices were lower
+gerb dj Your local concrete guys are bending you over.
Real Razzy god bless you
I love watching this again and again just trying to get a better understanding of the lay outs..and how certain things was cut and place..
Check out part 2, it goes into a lot more detail
You did this yourself, saved a bundle, and I bet it will last longer than if you had a builder make it. It is yours without cutting corners, and stressing out to get to the next job. I have only had a few people enter my home for things I can't do myself. Maybe 1-2 actually took their time and did it right, the others were just 1099 dopeheads in a rush.
Shut the fuck up
You sir are not the average person or are your helpers. You are a DIY genius!
+Peter Beyer LOL, probably one of the best comments ever! Thanks, I appreciate it.
That's amazing. I would not imagine any one can get it done with $20,000. The concrete, the lumber materials, the roof, the windows, ......... That's a great teaching.
Get some prices from the local lumber yards, it isn't that expensive.
You can barely get the trusses for what this guy paid for the whole project.
Id like to see receipts, the concrete alone would barely fit in that budget
The complete concrete total was $5,000. All building materials (roofing, doors, plywood, everything) was $3,500. In video "part 2" I show a video clip of the completed garage as it stands today.
Just wanted to say thanks to all the people who have watched and commented. I hope it helped with your own projects or gave you some ideas you could use. Steve
hi, how did you learn to do these things? im a relatively young kid (19) but never learned to do any of these things. i more or less want to learn how to work with my hands, so that in the future i can fix leaky pipes or build bookshelves, etc., but i don't know where to start. how did you learn? thanks a lot.
NG, I just started to do small projects after I bought a house. I did things myself to save money. The projects just kept getting larger as my experience grew with time. Good luck as you get older, I am sure you will do fine.
Hi Steve, I'm a Producer working with a brand new series around build it yourself projects. I'd love to talk to you a little about what we're working on. Is there an email address where I can contact you?
steve600@comcast.net
StevenW1955 ....How much did you spend?
3:23 "The average person can do it" lol - you think pretty highly of us then 😂
Have faith in yourself.
You gotta have faith buddy. He's right, any AVERAGE PERSON can do it. It takes nothing but a hammer, tape measure, some basic equipment to get concrete and so forth in and a few brackets. Any kid can build this minus the strenth to move stuff lol.
Lol I would be stuck at trying to do the foundation
Yeah, a few years ago i wouldn't have even thought of doing this but now... Ive done some more things, understand a little more about how tools work and how to use them, I could do it. The question I have now is, do I have the TIME to invest in it? Lol.
Love this garage..After five months of traveling in Miss stealthy (my van) by my self visiting the coast line all the way to Maine and back, my wife and I have decided to sell our home here in Modesto ca, we have decided to buy property in Oregon by the coast and build a small home myself and live on the property in our fifth wheel that we will buy when we sell. I was a contractor on the last property we purchased up at Don Pedro lake we had moved a 2500 square-foot manufactured home on to the property and also I built a 30 x 40 metal workshop, a kit I bought. I have built many other big projects but this will be the biggest project of all, building my own home from scratch. Watching your video has inspired me to take on such a project and your video has convince my wife to get on board for the ride. We think we can pay cash to build a house and have money left over to put back for saving and then we can travel in our fifth wheel. I am thanking of building this same garage first for storage while I am building my home. Thank you so much for your video and best of luck to you.😎
Glad to hear my video inspired someone! Good luck with your new house.
Yes it did, Thank you :)
Wow thanks and was thinking with a little variation this could be a small house structure. This is what humans should be doing, helping each other thru their own means showing ways to live easily without the fear of money always controlling us. Its really nice you showed this. There are so many things we can do ourselves.
Exactly, well said.
Thanks Don. Living in an old house like I have, the projects never end! Good luck with your own garage.
Yes, the groove acts like a key to keep the foundation walls from sliding off the foundation. Good eye, no one else has ever asked about it before.
Vetty nice, wise move, putting in that footing, that really makes it all worth it.
Some don't feel it is worth it, but I'm glad I spent the extra at the time.
Amen to that.
I enjoyed watching this video. My wife and I just purchased some land (also in New England - Medway MA) and we’re building a log home. The log home company priced the garage at almost $25k plus labor. I build a super nice 12x12 shed a few years ago and the framing process is exactly the same.. so I’m gonna do the garage myself. I priced out the materials the other night and I can build it for around $6-7k plus the foundation cost. Definitely the way to go. Saves a ton of money.
I really like those log houses, my friend has a beauty I have always admired. Good luck with your project.
@@StevenW1955 This comment was two years ago. Our log home is done.. and we're moved in. But we put the garage off due to rising lumber prices. Now the log home company wants $54k to build the same garage. I think I'm gonna build it myself this spring. I can do it for less than half the cost that the log home builder quoted.
I have been wanting to build a single car garage/storage shed in my backyard. I currently have a three car garage and want to turn one of those faces into a family cinema room. I built an 8 x 12 storage shed so I'm pretty handy. But concrete work and roof framing is a challenge for anyone who is not a pro. Perhaps if I made a jig for the roof trusses it might make it easier. But your video has inspired me to get a concrete contractor out to give me an estimate for a 14 x 22. Thanks for the video!
If I could build one like that, I'd leave one of the garage doors off, finish the interior and live in it. It's plenty large enough for one person.
+Thomas Pigg You probably could, I think it would be a bit on the small side after you installed a kitchen, bath, etc.
Maybe, but I'm single and figured the kitchen, dining area and living room could all be one open space. Then all I'd have to worry about is a bedroom & bathroom. Maybe a 35 X 35???
+Thomas Pigg No doubt it would work. But then you would have to build a garage to put your car in!!!!!
+StevenW1955 Sorry. I got a pickup. She's stays outside.
+Thomas Pigg I parked outside for years. now that I have a garage, I don't have to scrape windshields during the winter at 4:00 in the morning when I go to work.
Total cost was $8,500 including all concrete work.
If you live in the midwest and there is a menard's a 24 x 24 garage will cost you about $23,000 to build turn key. That's with insulation,drywall,electric,window,door. I'm building a bare bones 10 x 20 garage and it is costing about $14,000,you could do it all yourself if you are very knowledgeable in all trades of construction for about $10,000.
What a great help to me. I am going to do it the same, but will double the length
Wish I had gone bigger myself.
Nicely done sir! Congratulations on a great result. Much better than the gold plated one they quoted for
I laughed so hard when you said at the end 'If you want to do it all by hand, you'll be dead by the end... " Great project, thanks for sharing.
Amish: amateurs *raises barn by hand*
Ok, after panning through about 8 pages of comments I found your cost analysis answer. You might consider putting that in the description--it might cut down on about 1/2 of the questions. You did a great job, btw. Thanks for the inspiration--I might try this myself...maybe.
Yorick Aname amd what did you find lol
4 years ago he responded to the first three comments, making his the fourth (of what I can see--I have come to realize that I do not always see every comment for some reason...) This is a cut-n-paste of that comment of his:
$5,000 for the concrete and landscaping. $3,500 for the building
materials. The doors are 2" insulated which are about $500 each which is
included in the $3,500. After I was done, I ran an underground 30 amp
circuit for lights and outlets. If I had just a slab foundation, it
would have cost about $2,500 or less.
@@yorickaname9475 thank you
Nice job. Looks good. Saved a lot of money.
I built my own 24X24 with a single 18X8 garage door, entrance door and large window after getting 2 estimates from local builders for $28K & $32K. I built it in 3 weeks for just over $9k.
Had help from friends with concrete, wiring, floor drains and trusses and installing the big door & opener but did the rest myself.
t4705mb6 do you have pictures
Guys i found a good website about woodworking that is BestShedPlans25.blogspot.com
you can find more than 12000 shed plans their
Is the 9k including concrete costs?
I have a 30A- 220V circuit. All I run is lights, garage door opener, and a few outlets. I just had plans from HomeDepot drawn on a cheapo computer program they had at the store. But the plans also included a building list which was good. The building inspector and myself found several mistakes on the plans (header size, etc) but they are just a generic print anyway.
Great Video..... Nice extra touches in the corners with double and tripling up. Thanks for posting.
$8,500 for a 24x24 garage plus concret for the footing. thats all of the wood walls and and nails to build it
Nice Job. I like seeing people do it right the first time, instead of trying to save a few measly bucks. Buy once, cry once.
Nice video. "If you do it by hand, you'll probably be dead by the time you're finished"... Hahaha! But seriously, thanks for all the great guidance & tips.
I saw this awhile back....That would be a nice shop!!
Congrats I hope you are Enjoying it💪Good Job.
Thanks
@@StevenW1955 ✌👍Great👏❤Team💪
As a tradesman I can say you sir would be successful in any trade you should choose to pursue .. it’s a work ethic that make a man , GREAT JOB
Thank You
nice job Steven, real nice
Miguel G. Thanks, I appreciate it.
Not really Jon. Most of my experience came from working on my house. I just started off doing small repairs, windows, doors, jobs like that.
I'm working on part 2 now. I am trying to explain the whole process including paperwork, permits, etc. I am also going to film close-ups of trusses, corners, stuff like that. Unfortunately it is about 30 minutes long! You can't explain anything in 3 minutes, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the compliments Sheila.
Excellent!! I may just try and do my 36x45 RV garage.
Very nice video. You did a very nice job on your project. I might try to take up a challenge like yours someday. Thanks for sharing.
Looks good! I'm a contractor and would just like to stand up for myself here. It may have cost you around $8500 but that's not paying for your time. My general rule is to try to keep it around 50/50 for material/labour cost (Not always exact but that's about what it works out to most of the time). So now on top of the $8500 I would have to pay my business taxes & WSIB on myself and my 2 employees, their hourly wages, wear and tear on tools, permits (In Ontario a lot of stuff is free for the home owner but once you're a contractor you're charged like crazy), liability insurance and other miscellaneous cost's (Nails, gas, vehicle,...). I fully support DIY and often coach people through projects for free (Much like your inspector helped you) but it's not like the contractor would build this and spend the next 2 months on the beach in Bermuda. From the $12,000-$15,000 I would charge, I would probably come out making $900 for 2 weeks of work. Now that's said, great build.
Labor is always more than the materials,it's usually 60/40.
Chris Drake, he said contractor priced at $25,000 - 30,000
Chris Drake that is totally fine. We all have to make our living. But I love the idea of doing things myself as much as possible. And hire only when I cannot do it myself.
My parents taught me that dollar saved is dollar earned.
At some point your time becomes more valuable than the money you save. It seems you have more time than those who find it more valuable to pay someone. To each their own.
Boerboy Washington If you don't make any money working a real job then spending your time building a shed might make sense.
Im average joe, So thank you so much for posting this, i start construction on my garage soon and this video was an inspiration.
Keven Sierra Good luck with your project
$5,000 for the concrete work, and $3,500 in materials.
StevenW1955 rmm
I respect that what you have done with your hands.. Enjoy your man cave :)
Thanks for the extra confidence!
No problem
Man that is a bad ass garage! It's nice to see someone actually going and taking on a project like this and posting a video to give others the confidence to do the same. Good on ya and keep it up.
In early comments he states: The concrete work was $5,000. Building materials were $3,500
I can’t see that all the wood , plus truces only cost 3500 ? Wood is expensive !!
mbwfreedom you hit it right on the dot
Nice job! Thank you for sharing your video it's very very helpful cause I'll build my own garage too.
If you put tin down on the concrete in between the wood and concrete it will keep termites out its one of the best ways in the industry to fight termites
+Tyler Labbe I used pressure treated.
It would be advisable to put portal framing on the front at the overhead doors to help brace the building against wind load. I do believe it is required by code.
This is really nice. My wife and I bought our house that has anexisting 26'x34' concrete slab and have been debating on what to do with it. I may have to show her this video. Great job sir.
Mr. Steven, thank you for sharing, especially telling us the amount of time and cost. I want to build a garage in my backyard also. You've truly shown me and the rest of us, it can be done and well within a limited budget. Thank you again....
I would do a decent foundation, you might change your mind years down the road and want to use it for something else. The price between a 16X16 and a 24X24 really isn't that much. Go as large as you can, I wish I did. Check out "part 2" coming next month. I will be showing a lot of details left out of the original. Good luck.
Awesome this the garage and workplace I dream about.
+lukemsilver Thanks, defiantly worth the time and effort in the long run.
Thank you for putting this together.
thanks for checking it out.
Yes, it increases my taxes because my property valve goes up. In my area, a greenhouse or chicken coup would not raise them. Basically just permanent structures are taxed. Didn't they just take part of all income in Greece or was that Cyprus? The Gov has their hand out for everything!
Pretty easy after you've figured out everything doing the first one.
Where did you get the plans or instructions
Search Anthony patch cern aqc
Cost /save ?
this video inspired me to build my own garage. I will definitely make a slide show of my progress!
Hope it turns out good!
How did your garage come out?
Very nice garage. I hope I can build one similar
Good luck
sigh, 25-30k quotes, I'm looking at 70-80k which is why I'm here. Also in New England. Great work!
The price of everything is out of control. Good luck my friend.
I made a shed that is roughly 14x12 feet with the wood, siding, and roofing the total cost came out to be about 350 dollars. Meanwhile a premade vinyl shed that is 14x12 was like 800 bucks at home depot. Why do people even buy premade sheds.
Because they are lazy.
Steven, you could be right in some cases, but the reality is that you're neglecting the value of a person's time. $450 isn't enough savings to justify the diy route for some people... and picking up lumber (and people) from Home Depot to manage a weekend project might save me half that labor cost, heck, even if it saves me 3/4 of that, we're well into diminishing returns.... that is, unless I /want/ to build the shed as a hobby/project... then economics no longer drive the decision... but laziness doesn't factor in for anybody doing the math and valuing their own time.
Thats why it's good to know people that have experience in construction.
Jeff Hutchison
If you want to build a house and you get a price from a contractor, let's say : 200,000$. And if you build the same house by yourself it would cost you 100,000$ but because you "value your time" you go with the contractor and he pockets 100,000$. (in labour and profit) If you do it yourself, you build a house that has a market value of 200,000$ for 100,000$. If it takes you 2 years to do it, that's 50k/year. So you get paid for your time.
Now I don't know about you but I prefer to do useful things rather than spending my free time watching "The Voice" or "Keeping up with the Kardashians" like MOST americans do.
Like Stevens said, most people are just lazy and when you see the size of their debts, they can't do 1+1 either.
***** What you said makes sense to me.
For the underground feed, yes. Inside I just used romex. Next month I am posting a video showing electrical, and all the other "details", close-ups, generally answering questions that have been asked.
so how much did you save by doing it yourself?
Great job! Thanks for explaining and sharing.
Thanks
Great job! Maybe I can do something similar one day
Well he never said how much money he spent......thats what i was waiting for.
$8,500 complete
Really ? Awsome!
StevenW1955
did you get it inspected so you can insure it?
Mike Jones Yes, as a matter of fact, the building inspector would stop by every day or so on his way home to have a soda or cold drink. He would check out how far I had gotten and look for problems.
Wow, you've got one nice inspector! All the ones I've dealt with were not friendly.
Great video, saving my money to slap one of these on my property.
I'm going to show you exactly how to start building wooden sheds and woodwork projects easily, so that you're fully up and running, creating remarkable outdoor garden sheds and woodwork projects for your loved ones within days from now. Click here ==> *WoodBlueprints. Com* >>>
Good Guide line
Thumbs up from me.?
Good luck, hope it turns out nice.
That is AWESOME. On my way to watch part 2.
The whole point of the video is to encourage people to DIY. Those pre-built sheds and storage units will fall apart in 10 years. For half the price of a pre-built, you could put up a nice unit you'd be proud of. All it takes is a it if hard work.
how much did this cost you
+Jacob Cooper thats why i clicked the video , for an estimate also lol
$8,500 complete
+StevenW1955 Wow, good savings.
5,000.00 for the cement work and only 3,500.. for the trusses shingles lumber, plywood, Tyvek, nails, screwes, siding , 9 foot garage door X 2
where do you buy your material
All through Home Depot
How much did you spend?
Looks like $8,500 for wood and concrete
i would have liked to of known his total savings doing it himself....
+Frowntown A standard 24'x24' garage runs about $10k in labor.
+GreeneNatives 10k labor of 10k for JUST materials and concrete? how much was your permit and inspection? how long it take to get a permit? I think this year I'm gonna tackle this!
+m00nchildblues Permit was $25.00, total cost was $8,500 including concrete work, roofing, doors, etc.
Thank you for the upload. I'm planning on doing this myself within a year.
That is beautiful!!! Great work man!!
looks sweet, about what are the material costs?
$8,500 complete
StevenW1955 damn that's cheap! Awesome project for a weekend!
No, $5K for the foundation and $3,500 for materials for a total of $8,500
Did you pay to have the foundation done by someone else? If so, how many yards did it take, and how tall were those walls?
Good stuff!
+Adam H Thanks
how much did all this cost
+Mike Rembao $8,500
+StevenW1955
Were the concrete and earthwork the most expensive parts?
Yes, the concrete work was $5,000. The building materials were $3,500
Getting ready to tackle this job by myself as well. I'll have a little bit of help but I'm no Carpenter but I'm pretty sure I can do it
It really isn't that hard, just get some help for the rough parts
My advice having built 2 barns and garages over the past 10 years... go bigger, at least 32' long or 36', you will have more room for a shop, storage, yard machines, bikes, motorcycle, etc. and the cost of a few more trusses and plywood is minimal!
Not a bad idea, wish I had gone a bit larger myself.
Approximately how much did you spend on materials?
Nice Job, I planning to do the exact same plan. Thanks for the good video.
very nice steve ! your very talented !
Thanks Mike.
Well done. All the best
Thanks
Great information... Thank You - It looks very good. I like it.
Random lengths gives wood prices. Pretty stock material list with sub for trusses garage doors. Usually labor and material 50/50. The profit margin is high. Own a bobcat dump truck and 20' trailer. Can train a crew in a week. Can precursor lumber package is have package delivered by supplies. The question 3 man labor crew. An arm on. Bobcat to stand walls. Supply concrete forms and gravel supply. A trailer or container for office tool storage. Paulk Mobil trailer
Great Job! Very inspiring, I'm looking to have my home built and seeing projects like this. Let me know there are certain projects I can take on myself. Keep up the good work.
Good explanation,looks good 👍
Thank you
Bucket loader? Lol it's a front end loader, good video!
Great work man!
Fantastic video.Thanks!
thanks for watching.
Excellent video, good job on garage!
Thanks
You make me proud. Build me one
Thanks
Brilliant! Had a similar experience with a quote for siding. Wanted north of 10k. We, friends and family, did in 2 days for less than 3 and had a blast. Bring on part 2. Did you insulate? And what about electric?
Of course you can save money by doing your self ,not everyone has the time ,I'm a seasoned Carpenter and it about 4 days work for me with one helper and I cut the roofs
That is the point of the video..... DIY and save money.
No shit Sherlock
The nail gun works great for sheathing and roofing. As for framing, like you I prefer a hammer.
That is a great video! very helpfull for folks considering building one too, Love it!
Thank you Sir!
Very nice job. I do have a couple of questions. Do you have a lot of building experience? Did you consider a ridge beam with standard rafters to allow for storage above and if you considered it why did you not go that way? Also did you consider framing and sheeting the walls before standing them up to make squaring up easier? Thank you for posting.
Awesome work
Thanks
the to plate you are suppose to double up on, the 2nd plate ties the walls together, but why the double bottom plate? and did you double up on the trimmers for the garage doors?
I saved about $15,000. The cost breakdown has been listed well over 100 times...... $5,000 concrete work, $3,500 for trusses, building material, roofing, doors, etc.
2 weeks to frame, sheath, and roof it. Another few weeks for doors, etc. Total was $8,500.
Nice work.
youve done well there!
Thanks Mark.
Did you film the excavating and pouring the slab? I would have wanted to know more about the footing how deep and wide etc?
