Hey Tony, that building isn't bad for the price. Even if you only get 5yrs put of it. It seems well worth it. The job came out great. Thanks for sharing. Be well 👍🏻
I'm a bit like you Tony, nothing wrong with taking a little pride in what we do. Even if it takes a little more time, it often saves money and time if you put a little more effort into it.
Excellent video, Tony. You demeaner comes across as honest, practical and down to earth. You dont hesitate to complement the people who work with you. I like that. Inspiring in many ways. Keep up the good work.
Up in Virginia, I've always heard it called Bank Gravel. It can be run through a washer and get the gravel, and washed sand. Concrete sand, or morter sand. Also, it packs extremely hard. A very good road base.
I put up a similar arrow shed in south Texas for a pump house. It was still there after 12 years when I sold it . They do get extremely hot in the summer . It would heat up my water tank so hot I didn't need to use hot water . I ended up putting soffit vents on the bottom and top . Didn't have any issues after that .
@@TonysTractorAdventure Might be a good idea if you get high winds and should help with the heat . Mine was pretty protected against the house . My neighbor had one in the middle of his field for a well house and it disappeared never to be found after Hurricane Ike .
My 6x4 shed arrived with NO INSTRUCTIONS!!! Some dents…. Your video helped a lot. I would have liked more close up clarification on parts installation!!!
Everyone could use a smart wise unstoppable John in their corner! Thanks for posting. PS I have no name for that material but it isn't what we call crusher run, looks useful though.
Same here, but it's not really the correct name. I have had people lining up to tell me it wasn't chert in another video. Us West TN boys got to stick together.
Tony I think it's GREAT that you're building yourself a DOG HOUSE so when you don't follow Taynya's instruction that you have a place to live, thinking ahead👍 Great seeing you on other videos like Brock and Tim at the Farm Show.
Thank you! Good Bless you too. We get mean comments from time to time. I just read one and I was thinking about responding. I glanced down and saw your God Bless. Your comment changed my course today.
Tony: Excellent video and I learn a lot from your tips. Your build is very solid especially by screwing nails down to concrete from the frames which should be able to prevent the shed to be blown away by strong winds. This is one of my major concerns from living in Houston, Texas area. Because of the concern I bought a Patiowell, the same company as yours, 8x6 FT Wood Look shade from this Black Friday sale. My reason was that it has more vertical steel bar supports from the bottom frames in the back and sides with horizonatal panels which I thought being able to give more structure supports from only the weak side sheet metal panels. Based on your video, I don't need to worry about it which surprised me as an engineer. Because I am a retired old man with my wife as the only helper, I had tried a simpler and lazy way, learned from the other RUclipsr, to build the foundation. I had used 1'x1'x1.5" concrete step stones above 1-2" top soils in a few motnhs ago. Now is the time for me to build the shed on the top of the foundation. After viewing your video, I became hesitant if my foundation is good enough to maintain the level which will eventually make the doors and structure to function incorrectly. I am at a critical point to decide if I should build it on a concrete foundation like yours or get by with step stones. What is your opinion?
After seeing ya build that green house this little shed looks like the first straw house of the three little piggies. Waiting for the big bad wolf to blow it apart. 😉
I built a shed like that over 30 years ago for my mon, it is still standing. The door has some rust on it, but it held up better than I thought it would.
What most people say crush and run, they are thinking of 33c or limestone base. What you have looks a lot like the stuff you get up between paris and Springville. Looks like river rock red sand and clay mixed....and it does pack really good.
@Tony's Tractor Adventure Homestead yeah its usually cheaper than chert near you, dont really get into much chert till you get to the river or down towards camden. And definately cheaper than any limestone rock. I haul mainly rock, sand , and clay.
Pushing dirt with curl cylinders extended. Yikes. Was that it? 😆 The 3/4" minus granite that we knew from living in Oregon is called "caliche" in Texas - limestone. It is called Crusher Run in Tennessee, but has many different DOT classification numbers elsewhere ‐ 411, 2A limestone, #5, "Road Bond (ABC), and who knows what else. It all depends on the area, and the local vernacular. Makes it confusing to know what's available. Great video Tony and Tanja
Thousands of hours and 40 years working without bending a cylinder or loader. Think of your finger. You can push a pencil across a table with the tip of your finger; however, if you stab your finger into the wall, you will break it. It is a learned skill.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I was guessing your question if we viewers spotted anything. It was a shot. I understand skill and experience allows pushing extended curl cylinders.
Thanks for the Video... very good job y'all did in getting that shed up. I was just planning on using 2x4's ( 2-8 ft. ones and then 7-6ft. about 14" apart) & use 2 sheets 3/4-in x 4-ft x 8-ft Industrial Particle Board) as my Floor.. I'm 71 now and concert and I *NO* longer "MIX"...Lol... This will run about $100.00 & I have some creosote to roll/paint on all the wood .. I'm in eastern N.C. Since I'm hoping that 4 men can lift just the metal shed, if need be, once put together ( without the doors) and place it on the base about a 20''away from a outside wall on the back of the house, them mount the shed to the base. 20" may be enough anyway that it can go ahead and be built on the flooring..Any thing you catch I might throw me off so I shouldn't do it this way?? Thought maybe 4 screw type anchors in small holes with little quick set concrete would be ok to hold deck securely.. Maybe even 2 ft. of the back wall of the house just to be sure no roof water from the house get over onto the shed roof... I see Patiowell has a nice 8x6 with sideway fitting panels now looking like weather boarding for a house. believe it's their "【Limited Edition Package】8x6 Woodbridge Metal Shed" $549.00 with a 10% discount code from "Deep South Homestead" (Danny & Wanda on YT). Real nice looking wooden/metal shed.. Heavest thing i'll have on the floor is my Racing Go-kart...& a Pulsar 5,000 watt dual fuel inverter/generator neither over 125 lbs. Only reason trying to get out of that concrete work is 1) don't have a Truck, 2) don't have a Mixer.. Last time I did concrete mixing in a wheelbarrow (48 Bags of it) the 2 guys with me bout walked off...Lol... Again, thanks for your Video... I know I should have stayed on my Place up in The East TN. Mountains especially with things looking like they are these days... If you see anything I might be overlooking would appreciate any help.. Have a Blessed upcoming Weekend.... Nice Place You Have There....
I bought 4 Arrow 8ftx10ft Metal building just like your 8x6 and I only paid $259 each and got a instant $50 mailed check for each building so basically I only paid for 3 of them total for $600 plus tax and materials to frame the base altogether I spent $1000 total and built a 35 3/4 X 38 total once I put it together the way I wanted and I use T19 Wood siding also I did it in 2 days
@@TonysTractorAdventure That will be Great for those type of buildings especially if going to spend any real time in it or have property in storage that’s worth anything once ready for it again
Ya can rent a machine that will grind the top and make it like I think what ur looking for it works somewhat like a floor buffer it’s not a hard machine to use might be something to check out
Tony: Finally, I paid a professional to install a 8'x6" concrete at a cost of $700. However, I could not install the shed until now because I had to work a more emergent project to fix my pool underground PVC leak. After reviewing you video again. Please help me on the following two questions: 1. You install the concrete screws in the very beginning. Could I install the concrete screws after the shed is built? 2. My shed will be on a slope that water will drain through around the concrete during rains. You put the silicons around the bottoms of the sheds to prevent water from getting into. However, if my shed having certain possibility for water getting into, then I should not put the silicons under the low sides for water to drain. Is this correct? Thank you so much for sharing your important tips and helps!
I wouldn't recommend putting the concrete screws in last. The slights gust of wind will take it off. I don't have a water problem, but I put silicone under it for blowing rain. You can never stop direct water. It will find a way.
450$? I paid 275 for a 8x10 metal shed with same design.. i ended up telling amazon it was missing pieces and got the manufacturer to send me another box with more of the sides and roof and ended up building a 10x12 shed.. lol. Did end up spending 100$ on gravel delivery and 50$ on concrete so i guess i did end up at the 450 mark..
That's nothing, I had a 22x22 Garage framed up ready to pour the next morning, a major storm came throuth that night and flooded my footings , my concrete was so wet Yes we poured it any way. and I had a power float and it did no good it was still to wet by the time i had to take it back. when I was taking the machine back is when i should have power floating it.
To go back to back in the center top and then one goes to the right with the top angle to the right and then one goes to the left with the top angle to the left.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I think we started off not level. .he said it was but everything seems crooked now he just wants to do his own roof. Or tear it down and throw it out in the road lol
Just one Question: Why is the door not facing the big building??? In case some one in the big building has to communicate to the another person in the shed and vice versa!!! Oh well, You know best!!!!
That is like saying a car without a frame is not good but yet it's been proven over and over again. I don't have any real worries. My building went through 80 mph winds and is fine. Our neighbor had a wooden structure that was blowing away. It had a frame.
The 🐕 dog was a great foreman / supervisor ! 🤣👍🤠

@@TonysTractorAdventure Hahahaa ...👍🐕💯
We always called this type of gravel “chert” a mix of gravel and dirt . Crusher run around here is limestone and limestone dust .
Whatever it is it packs hard.
Looks great
Thanks!

You can put down a garage epoxy system instead of leveling compound if the finish bothers you.
Good idea

You know the deal. I am going to insulate it too! I love being at the show. Such a good time.
It's nice to have a couple yard pile of gravel around for small projects or filling in low spots in a gravel drive.

Great job as usual Tony. I totally understand that the pad would bug you. I also would be tempted to rent a grinder/polisher to make it better myself.
I am funny about these things. I think I will coat it. It will be nice.

Ty sir, I was wondering if you had to force the screws on the top side rails? I purchased the same shed, my side top rails do not have pre-holes.
Mine had a slot all the way across.
Do you think it would be simple enough to build this it into an 8x5 shed with a little custom work?
