This is just high grade content from start to finish. Reminds me of some old school How-To videos. Deccribe what you are building, some quick blue prints, and then detailed instructions anyone can understand. Great work!
WOw, this is a great DIY tutorial, Thanks for posting. I am in the middle of adding an attached storage shed to the back of my Loafing shed, and this is as close a comparison to my project as i could find. Thanks again.
I like that you explain what you were doing and did the work yourself unlike all these other channels which are just dudes flexing how much money they spent on contractors and all the expensive stuff they store in the structures. Thanks for actually making an informative video for people looking to do this themselves.
I'm only a few minutes in but I can tell you put a lot of effort into the planning, the timelapse, and doing CAD renderings overlaid on the video. It's really well produced, no idea why I haven't seen your channel before! Subbed
Excellent work and excellent video! You did an awesome job on this and detailed your work very well for us. A+ on this one! Look forward to the next video in this series.
Thank you very much Tom! I so appreciate your support and kind words. I have to admit, I struggled with this video. It took way longer than I expected to whittle it down to a reasonable length. When I looked through and assembled all the footage I was just not feeling that I had a good episode here -- and right to the last minute I had doubts. So, to read a comment like yours (and others here) is a true blessing. Cheers, Kent
You make this look so simple, I'm now thinking that future shop project needs some concrete! Especially the pipe bending and blade-less saw were awesome tips. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos as always!
Good video. I'm actually looking to combine two of your video series so thank you for posting. I have a 22' raised bed along my garage. I want to frame it out like your lean to shed, and add panels like your green house. Plus a couple of other modifications to make growing and harvesting easier. It will be a raised bed lean-to green house
Thank you, thank you. Nice work on the foundation and the paver floor. While it may take more time the pavers are certainly easier on the body than mixing, pouring and troweling a slab.
Everyone wants to do a good solid job but for the weights involved in a timber framed building was the concrete foundation really necessary ? Would a timber floor standing on paving slabs with a good membrane beneath be sufficient to support a timber framed building ? I recently built decking for a hot tub and worked out that the tub plus 4 people in it would be something like 1.5 tons, in a relatively small footprint. I have only mounted it as described above and 3 year on its as solid as the rock of Gibraltar. .
Thank you! Do you need to get a permit and inspections when you build addition to your existing shed? Does the total SF of the shed include the addition? In our county and state any structure above 200 SF must get a permit. What software do you use for 3-D drawings and animations? I like a lot your raised beds concrete design. It can be assembled and disassembled like a Lego. But I’m hesitant to use Concrete in the permanent form like you use here to support walls. Any concrete structure like this to disassemble require to break concrete and deal with all the broken concrete to load and properly dispose or collect the junk on your yard. Please give the solution to my question.
@@MANaboutTOOLS Thank you for the reply! Did you get a permit for this project? You are doing amazing things with SketchUp software, including animations. Thank you so much for your thoughtful process and Research before making things, so others do not have to.
That's an excellent, no compromises example of a solid foundation. It'll be there long after you're dead. Do you regret using the capstones? Why not just concrete? Cost? It looks great and the nice thing about the stones if that spills will disappear into the cracks.
Very nice work. I totally get what you mean about the price of lumber. Like you I bought quite a bit of lumber last year for projects that I'll complete this year so pretty lucky on that front!
Thank you for the great instructions you provide. I really enjoy your videos. However, I have a question. How do we weather proof the sides which back up against the back wall. I’m anchoring my shed to the wall of my house. I have a brick veneer house, but the concern would be the same regardless of it being weatherboard or brick veneer. My concern is when it rains directly in that area (back house wall) or when the wind pushes the rain in that direction, it will rot out the back wall. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions to deal with this? Thank you guys in advance 🙏
It was a reinforcement and repair of the existing shed foundation. I propped up some plywood and drilled a few holes in that foundation and tapped in some short rebar sections. So that repair would be permanently attached to the old foundation wall.
Better to go a bit above when doing formwork for concrete. Seen too many times people trying to half ass it and they ending having to rebuild it correctly. That's also a good way to install the anchor bolts for the wall. It's always best to do it right the first time.
Dear lord. I thought my dad was bad about forms for concrete. Yeah. A little bit over built, like a target is my dad and you is Empire State Building. However, with concrete, it’s way better to over build forms than under 💯. Honestly no shade at all.
That is one heck of a job. Lots of calories burned, for sure. So, how much did this foundation cost? And how much do you think you saved by doing it yourself?
Thanks Bill. I haven't worked out the costing for this. And, I'm not a pro so I'm sure if I did this every day I could find a faster and cheaper way to build the forms.
I was thinking the same thing! I have DIY lumber racks for 2x4 walls and will be hanging them on the long wall. So an access door near the corner would be a good addition. Thanks for the comment.
I don't know what part of the country this was built in but without plastic under the floor, moisture rising out of the ground could become an issue inside that shed.
The author does like to from scratch, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
Came on here to watch how to cheaply add a shed extension. I Think I picked the wrong video as this project cost more than my house and we are only on step one in this video LOL

I appreciate the in-depth details, cad/ sketch up graphics, and calm demeanor. Also the dark sarcasm at the end👍🏼
Thank you! Cheers, Kent

My back would be F-R-I-E-D!!!🥵 You two are work horses! The base looks amazing! Well done! Like the use of pavers for this floor.
Thanks very much!!
You are a machine, don’t need to buy one. That’s a lot of work you did. Keep it up.
Thanks 👍

Can’t wait for the next episode, thank you so much!
Nice to see that the kitty cats inspected the foundation!!!
This is awesome!
The perfect mix of doing and telling.
I understand what it takes to do this (vid series) and I appreciate you
"... and we may need to remortgage the house to purchase the lumber." 🤣
Great video. The caps as pavers look awesome. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you! They certainly were more work but I agree that they look good.
Svaka pohvala majstoru. Perfektno izvodi radove. Bravo
Great detail & commentary.
Hope you got a rockin deal on those concrete toppers.
Looks good.
Amazing as always , you sir are a boss
You have an interesting channel. I subscribed to you. It's great that RUclips recommended your channel.
Welcome aboard!
that sawzall trick is one i'll have to keep in mind.
I have watched several of your videos and admire both the content plus your professionalism in video making. My hat is off to you! Well done.
Thanks!!
Looking good so far.
You do very good work my friend. Bravo
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job. Lots of hard work. You two make a great team.
Thank you very much!
Brilliant job you 2 have done
I will be stealing that rebar bending technique. Thanks,
You are a wizard
Y’all have done an awesome job.

I really like your detailed videos keep up the good work 👏
Thanks, will do!
Excellent as always.
You should look into the truck bed unloader if you plan on buying more gravel mulch or dirt. One of the best purchases I've made.
Nice job !! I'll be doing this job soon for the same reason. My shop is full too !! Thanks for a down home GOOD job and video !!
You make this look so simple, I'm now thinking that future shop project needs some concrete! Especially the pipe bending and blade-less saw were awesome tips. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos as always!

Beautiful work! Looks amazing.
Love your content.
I'd be tempted to leave the walls open, like a gazebo, to show everyone who visits how cool the base looks.. It's really nice. 😁👍
That is an excellent new project, Kent. I look forward to the succeeding episodes. You are such a motivated worker.
Thanks so much Phil!
Great video - fingers crossed for getting yourself that backhoe. :D

I can't comment on the permit requirements. Will vary greatly place to place. I use Sketchup Pro for drawing.

Thanks! I should have used regular driveway or walkway pavers. Did consider just a concrete floor as well.
Very nice work. I totally get what you mean about the price of lumber. Like you I bought quite a bit of lumber last year for projects that I'll complete this year so pretty lucky on that front!
Thanks! I'm hoping the prices come down. The commodities chart for lumber has been falling lately.
Would ICF be more expensive for foundation?
Thank you for the great instructions you provide. I really enjoy your videos.

Do you need a permit to add to a shed?
Where did the concrete curb next to the door opening come from? You didn't mention it or show it being poured.
It was a reinforcement and repair of the existing shed foundation. I propped up some plywood and drilled a few holes in that foundation and tapped in some short rebar sections. So that repair would be permanently attached to the old foundation wall.
That was interesting. It's nicely done. I would have poured the floor in concrete though.
Thanks! I was considering that but, I don't have a lot of experience with pouring floors.
Better to go a bit above when doing formwork for concrete. Seen too many times people trying to half ass it and they ending having to rebuild it correctly. That's also a good way to install the anchor bolts for the wall. It's always best to do it right the first time.
That's a lot of work for a small shed extension. I've seen houses that didn't get that much detail....lol

Thanks Bill. I haven't worked out the costing for this. And, I'm not a pro so I'm sure if I did this every day I could find a faster and cheaper way to build the forms.
Maybe add a pass through window for lumber, not sheets ,for easier access.
I was thinking the same thing! I have DIY lumber racks for 2x4 walls and will be hanging them on the long wall. So an access door near the corner would be a good addition. Thanks for the comment.
What Sketchup extension did you use to do the animations of the walls and roof ? Thanks !!
There's an animation extension
@@MANaboutTOOLS Thanks - do you have the name of the particular animation extension you used ?
If you where to estimate how much did this cost?
Awesome work man really love all the details
I’m curious on what software you used to design the project
Thanks! I use Sketchup Pro
I don't know what part of the country this was built in but without plastic under the floor, moisture rising out of the ground could become an issue inside that shed.
Здравствуйте.Интересное видео.У Вас бывают холодные зимы?
the bladeless recip saw use to vibrate bubbles up is brilliant!
we used a "donkey d**k" when building bridges.
Thanks!
What design program is that?
Sketchup Pro
You might have been hitting old rebar in the original foundation.
Ahhhh... maybe huh? Good though.
Why don't you just also pure the concrete floor? Way more solid and easy fast 😜
Re mortgage the house to buy more lumber 😂
Wouldn't of been easier to just pour a slab 🤔

WaYYYYY too much, overkill to say the least. But then again people were very bored during the pandemic....
What would you do differently?
Awesome. Well done ,well filmed and well narrated video. Excellent.
