I have watched my husband do all this for years. Watching you work brings good memories. He is disabled now, but I honestly think I could take on a she shed after watching this! You are generously giving for free knowledge and skills people have had to apprentice for years to learn! Thank you!
I don't know if you read all of these anymore, and I don't know if it's weird to mention, but I watch all of your videos and find myself wishing that I grew up with a dad like you. Thanks for everything you do here.

I would like to thank you for being the reason I slept last night. I usually put on rainfall or something similar but this put me to sleep quicker than any rainfall video I’ve watched.
Jeff, you are true inspiration, I build this shed (without door, windows and paint) in 5 days without prior expierence - sure I spent 1 month watching over and over your video + planing, it took some time to convert all dim to metric system - not all went well ( I made my shed with 5x10 cm studs thinking 2 by 4 is literally 2 by 4 :) find out that it isn't ) . I build my shed 3x3m so I had to make few changes. Thank you for all the tips and tricks -I felt like a PRO building it :) . I was watching this so many times that one evening my wife and kidz said : Oh no, not Jeff again :) - not once I was bored wathing it :) . Greetings from Slovakia
I would say that a cubic meter of cement will run you back about $500- $700 alone, but if you want it delivered pre made, then you would add another 0 to the end.
Great Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one off product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy finally got great results with it.
My current situation. I wish these plans were available on the site. I am building a coup/shed combo and I want this to be my overall design. I am on my third time around, making calculations, and sourcing products.
I built an 8'3 1/2" square shed with the sloped roof, following the videos. It's on a crushed rock base with 4x6 framing and 2x6" floor joists. I also put 1/4" hardware cloth around the lower 3 ft. to discourage critters, as well as hardware cloth around the base to prevent burrowing. After lifting the first wall with the sheathing on, we switched to putting up the walls and then sheathing them (to reduce the weight of what we needed to lift). I did not add windows, but have a vent; I built two doors instead of a single pre-hung door, and omitted the mower door in the back. If I were to do it differently, I would make the walls 7'8 1/2" so the assembled shed was 8' to match the sheathing dimensions, and I would double check the framing of the base for square before dumping 1 1/2 tons of crushed rock inside it and positioning the walls. All in all, your instructions allowed a petite 60+ woman to build a shed.
Congratulations Ms. Koenig ….. Well Done ! His presentation style builds confidence that the listener can actually do this project if we relax and pay attention to what he is saying. I do enjoy that you already would make changes if and when you do another build. He teaches in a manner that instills confidence that if We pay attention, and apply his information, there is a rewarding
My dad and I built a shed together when I was about 7 or 8. Start to finish, top to bottom. This really brought back memories. I'm getting back into building a bit and it's very rewarding.
I say this without sarcasm or irony: this is one of the coolest, most interesting videos I've ever watched. As someone who doesn't come from a handyman background, and who hopes to own a home in the next several years, this is an inspiration and guide.
I LOVE the honesty of the process here. Every big DIY project I've worked on has a moment where I get frustrated by having to go back a few steps (like leveling the boards for the foundation). This is a tremendous video and is greatly appreciated.
I LOVE this A to Z format. Not only do you cover everything, but you add lots of helpful hints for lots of other things. This has been so valuable, thank you so much!
Here’s a good question: Why not use a nailer? I would guess you could cut the work and time in half, at least. That’s a lot of screws. Compare that to 1 second.
This was so awesome. I feel like I can build a shed with no problem. I am hooked on this guys humor, lol and easy detailed explanation of a shed build. Aweome, awesome, awesome video. Loved it!
I love watching these kind of videos. Surprisingly, I watch them like it's a TV show. I don't do any of this kind of stuff really, but your How to install a new electrical socket really helped me out in 4 rooms and saved me literally hundreds. Now if I ever need a shed, well, I'm calling a truck with pre-made cement, lol - Thank you for the videos! Great work
I built a shed based on his design, and it worked out great. It's not exactly the same but I trust it. Thanks for all the side comments about construction of it.
I can't wait to finish this. It's been really steady, calm, and to the point which came across informative but not making me feel stupid for not knowing something. I have been researching for a shed build and a chicken coop build for a few months now. Can't wait for that moment I feel confident to jump in and do it!
Best DIY Ive seen in a long time, instructive clever and most importantly everything is shown to be within everyone's skill set ,the chat and humor make it even more appealing . If you struggle to use a power tools or cant seal a window or door try it on a bit the off cuts lying around till you improve your skills excellent vid.
This is one of the best home improvement channels on RUclips, imho. One of my favorites (this and See Jane Drill). Home RenoVision DIY has the best of content.
I watched this video from start to finish, actually took me 4.5 hours with rewinding it, cool project, never thought it would be that much effort. Trying to build a shed at the moment on a uneven level concrete that was laid around my house. Don’t where to start and dont want to redo the concrete.
Wish there was a material list, plans with steps to go with the video. Not sure how many times I would need to watch to count the number of 2x4s needed etc. This is the best video I have found and given the number of views, seems like there is an opportunity to sell the plans, material list, cutting guide etc to help those of us less gifted to go for it. Thanks for the great video.
I loved your deck and shed video. I was watching it and my husband starting watching it too. We have bought homes and improved them, then sold them [not flippers] for over 30 years. We wish we had found someone like you, 30 years ago. We could have saved thousands. Thank you for showing people the right way to build.
Best 4 hours on RUclips! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really liked the tribute to Mr.Leahey, I met John Dunsworth a couple of times. He was a true gentleman and boy did he love his rocks and concrete! Cheers from Enfield, NS :)
Definitely one of the most detailed how to videos I have ever seen. Thank you for taking the time To explain verbally in detail as to what your ideas were. And we should probly all thank Your camera man or woman or children who ever was the patient one to video tape you and not comment for hours and hours.This is not an easy task by any means.Great job thanks again. By the way I'm thirsty for the love of all did you drink any water🤣🤣👍
Im building a raised hunting blind and have been planning on building it exactly like that pretty much. This video helps alot and glad I stumbled onto it. I appreciate your hard work and putting in the detail
Wound up building a shed with this design in 2021. Rewatching now because I’m building a second shed. This time I’ll write down notes but I still enjoyed the whole 4 hour rewatch 😂
"If they don't find you handsome, they'd better find you handy"... Well, I think you're adorable as well as handy. Thank you for sharing your time teaching us all of these wonderful tips and tricks.
I've decided to build my own outbuilding to serve as an office since I'll be doing pretty much all remote work now, and between your shed videos and Larry Haun I'm feeling pretty darn ready to go. I've watched this three times already... :)
Hi! I had to pull an all-nighter to finish an 18th century gown and found your blessed super long videos. I absolutely adore the passion with which you work and your endless amount of knowledge about literally everything. Thank you for keeping me company. I am finally off to bed now.
I fell asleep while watching youtube and when I woke up I as about halfway into this video... And there was a shed built hafway in my backyard... Thanks papa Home RenoVision
Your content is excellent!! You have a way with teaching that makes it very simple to follow along, and that’s so rare when it comes to diy building videos. I’m a remodeler/handyman in South Texas and just became a new member 👍 keep it up!
I'm so happy RUclips algorithm brought up your channel 🎉 Usually DIY videos are only up to 30 minutes covering basics!! But for beginners every detail is important.. You're the top man!! Thanks for teacing ❤
Nice building, I and my family built our shop 24’x36’ , my 3 boys, all in grade school and junior high, put up the walls with wife and 2 daughters helping lift the walls up , my sons and I covered the walls in 4 hours, 1 walk in door and 1 16x10 garage door, I did all the trusses by myself, I averaged 7 minutes a trus, I put up trus with a 2x4 to level, used a rope to pull up truss upright had 2x2 stopper wood, I figured it was not bad, 10’6” side walls as I had to stay under 14’ due to city code, a framing nailer was my best friend, galvanized ring shank,
Hi Jeff, your cement mixer does have a lock on the side where the handle is, if you put the drum at the level you want it, just push the handle towards the drum and a little spike will lock into the circle and stop the drum from moving left to right. You might have to move it a bit so the spike lines up with the circle but you will soon get the hang of it and it saves you hanging onto the handle in cast it tips the lot out onto the ground
Thank you so much for this video! I ended up building a 10ftx14ft shed (with a lawnmower door of course) with my wife and it came out amazing! We had no experience building anything prior to this shed so we thank you so much for making such an easy to follow, step by step video. Your charisma and DIY spirit has inspired us to keep on working on our own house projects when we're able to.
Also when nailing the lumber together I have found a little trick if the boards just won’t go flush by standing on them, use a 8d nail and pound it in at a 45degree angle and use your finger to pull the stud up as you use your thumb on the same hand to press against the plate. Works pretty slick
I really enjoyed watching this video. I've never seen someone build a shed from start to finish. I really like the time you took to explain the building techniques along the way. i really liked the roof concept of the roll out shingle product. Thank you very much! Definitely saving this video for later. John - Lake Ann, Michigan
Just wanted to say I love you….. I have sheet metal fabrication background and prefer on center… Construction guys loathe on center generally speaking… I even took college courses for residential building construction and had to explain why it’s faster and just as accurate (if you understand your job) I’m glad someone else of your caliber uses on center!! I feel validated to the max
This is absolutely excellent. I do wish your description text provided an index to “chapters” of the work. This way, we could return to specific portions far more easily. But overall your video is of exceptional quality, and your teaching style is outstanding. Thank you very much for this fine public service.
Dude dude dude!!! U are changing lives. Giving the average joe confidence. U are definitely a blessing and giving lessons. God bless u, man! And God bless RUclips! I’m black but u wish we were cousins 😂😭💪🏾
Hey man, I was able to get a lot out of listening to this video, playing in the background as I am configuring my S. Florida carport into a multifunction (wood/metal) workshop. Many unique challenges posed by the subtropical "rainforest" climate, considering both day-to-day oppressive heat & humidity as well as the inevitability of tropical storms & hurricanes. Your explanations for why certain aspects of your design are required makes for a universal how-to with the only blanks being the nature of mitigating the impact of these regional variables . Thanks for sharing your experience without censor, the true hallmark of what an informational documentary should be.✌️
It's true! Old guys do wear dad shoes. Old ladies buy them for their old guys - because men who wear dad shoes are usually too busy to buy their own shoes. One of the best things about being old is that nobody really cares what shoes you wear. It's a blessing in disguise because at some point your feet hurt too much to care about fashion. :)
Those windows are almost $80 in 2024!!! We will be building our 8' x 12' shed starting net Thursday (July 11th) & I actually framed my windows & the 4 vents that I'll be installing. Your roofing method is what we plan on doing too
I've done a few similar projects like this already but still learned a crap ton here. Excellent in showing little tips and tricks but also the WHYS behind things here. Knowing why we should do something really helps to instill the confidence. Thank you for your wisdom good sir!
Jeff, you cover so much practical territory that you often remind me to be more efficient and frugal. It’s off-topic for this specific video, but I am looking for block-wall foundation crack repair tips like backer rod and sealant types. ☮️🇺🇸
I can´t believe i saw the whole vídeo, from start to finish! Great "tutorial", make´s me feel like i´m working right there! And wen you say: if you build a shed you can build a house... I wanna start right now with my own! Haha... Cheers from Argentina!
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
Your videos are great for weekend project guys like me. Keeping it simple and thorough for the uninformed like me. Your friendly Canadian attitude is refreshing and feels genuine.
IS there any chance your father did teach you and you just didn't listen? I have an 18yr old who would say the same thing you did but he just doesn't listen when Im teaching him.
My dad has never been construction- or mechanically - inclined. What I learned about building and mechanics, I learned from my maternal grandfather. I learned a lot of other things from my father, though. I like to think it's helped keep me well-rounded.
thank you for going into deep detail and explaining every single steps. i looked up other videos but they only showed vague information thanks again!!!
If You Want To Build A Reliable Shed, You Need Knowledge of Foundations, Piling, Planning and More ... So I'm giving you a comprehensive "how-to" guide on the basics of woodworking. Go here ==> *WoodBlueprints. Com*
At the end of my 8*10 shed build. Used your build, work around, tips and tricks to make it happen. I dno how many times I watched your video. But it helped all the way
I love love love your channel!! Hopefully you can build a sunroom soon. We just bought a house and want to diy everything, for the satisfaction of “I did that” haha Thanks for the great content :)
I would recommend putting in four stakes in each corner of where your foundation will be. Then tie a string from stake to stake and level it to the height you would like to see if it works for you. they will also let you measure how deep your trenches need to be by measuring from the string to the ground
When I build my shed it was 8X10. I had a set of double doors as the main entrance BUT I made another shorter door on the right side just tall enough for my lawn mower. Then on the inside behind the small door I framed a box that was just as tall as a lawn mower. The end result is that there is always room behind the small door for the mower. Inside there is a convenient shelf for storage (the top of my box) and the mower is never in the way.
Jeff, love your work! I built a deck following your video, and it worked out great! Now doing a shed. Please consider these Health and Safety guidelines, for your own protection, and for the safety of people following your work: 1) Most important of all: Safety glasses whenever using power tools or working above your head 2) Hat for sunny days, especially for the hair challenged. Also water bottle. 3) Put your wood on a work bench to cut it so you are not trying to hold the wood, triangle and saw all at the same time 4) A kneeling pad will save your knees and back 5) Lifting technique for one person to carry 4 x 8 sheet material Stay safe!
Jeff has a high skill level and he willing to take many unnecessary risk with safety, I just wish he would at least tell people how they should safely be using the tools.
Ever since that fateful night where I was staying up very late, on the side of youtube filled with wonderful DIY, contemplating what I am doing with my 20 year old self. --Ever since that day whenever I type "youtube" into my search and simply hit enter, linking me to the first recommended URL - I get this video. Every time I search "youtube" and hit enter in my search bar it brings me back to THIS VIDEO "HOW TO BUILD A SHED" My friends ask "why did you go to a video about building a shed" I DONT KNOW BUT CHROME DECIDED I REALLY REALLY LIKED THIS VIDEO I return to this video everyday...... Every visit to youtube starts with..... Home RenoVision DIY..... I sacrifice my views to you DIY How to Build a Shed A to Z.... Maybe one day I will really build this shed..... But until then.... I will be linked to your video every visit to youtube as a reminder......that i have in fact not yet built a shed.... have a nice day
I don't even own a home, heck I don't even have the money for the materials used in this video but I've already watched over an hour. Very entertaining
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
I have been putting off starting projects around the house because I lack the skills and experience but you made this look like anyone could do it! And if I am confident enough to think that I could build a shed maybe i can build a shoe rack thanks
The tricks you use to make a straight line with the rip saw is great, I however got a table saw and that saves a ton of hassles in the long run. Great build though...and to anyone wondering it's a Rigid brand 10 in. table saw with stand. Here in CA. it ran about $500.00 when I got it. Money well spent
This man is mesmerizing! I'm just swiping along and get locked into his videos every time. And of course thanks to RUclips's algorithms, I am looking into building a new shed, etc.
I just binge watched almost 4 hours to the point where I was sitting on the floor next to the wall outlet so I could charge my phone while watching. This channel is Netflix for men.

By far, one of the best diy videos on the internet….you have no idea how much you’ve helped me build my own shed. THANK YOU!!
I should be sleeping but this man building a shed is more important.
Same😂😂😂
Exactly what I’m doing 4 nights later
I’m thinking the same thing right now at @4:30 am Monday morning 4/26/21
Absolutely with you on that one :D
3am 3 days after you lol
I have watched my husband do all this for years. Watching you work brings good memories. He is disabled now, but I honestly think I could take on a she shed after watching this! You are generously giving for free knowledge and skills people have had to apprentice for years to learn! Thank you!
You can do this. Cheers Susan!
This is so wholesome
This video inspired me to fageddaboudit
you're a literal saint for posting this without slapping ads on it. we love you, shed man
I don't know if you read all of these anymore, and I don't know if it's weird to mention, but I watch all of your videos and find myself wishing that I grew up with a dad like you. Thanks for everything you do here.

Cheers to Slovakia, we were there last year and absolutely love your country. The Trencin Mountains were our favorite.
Miroslav Petrik how much did you spend on material?
I would say that a cubic meter of cement will run you back about $500- $700 alone, but if you want it delivered pre made, then you would add another 0 to the end.

Well Done ! His presentation style builds confidence that the listener can actually do this project if we relax and pay attention to what he is saying.
I do enjoy that you already would make changes if and when you do another build. He teaches in a manner that instills confidence that if We pay attention, and apply his information, there is a rewarding
Experience to be enjoyed.
You’re amazing!
My dad and I built a shed together when I was about 7 or 8. Start to finish, top to bottom. This really brought back memories. I'm getting back into building a bit and it's very rewarding.

the fact that he explained the whole process so well while being entertaining atop of all that in 40°c is so impressive.

Agree!
This was so awesome. I feel like I can build a shed with no problem. I am hooked on this guys humor, lol and easy detailed explanation of a shed build. Aweome, awesome, awesome video. Loved it!
It's 5:38 am and I never watch videos like this but I'm loving this man, he's an intelligent genius. A Great video to watch .
Nice to see a vid where the host is not only talking sense, but is obviously actually doing the work himself 👍🏻👍🏻
Seems to be a rare thing these days....the so called experts actually doing anything!
naiboz that’s the best part. Such a cool ass teacher. Now I can relate to my contractor
Great video again Jeff, down to earth and no need for million dollar shop and tools, much appreciated !! Homemade quality
I love watching these kind of videos. Surprisingly, I watch them like it's a TV show.

I'm only an hour and a half on, but I must say, you sir, are pretty awesome. You make it feel much less intimidating to tackle something like this.
Just wanted to say THANKS. I just finished my 5 x 12 shed. I used your video as a guide. VERY happy with the result.
TY

You've single handedly built a generation of DIY's with your videos. I am joining your membership club. I dont how else to thank you.
I have never seen such a comprehensive how to video in my life! Wow! Great work and thank you for sharing🙂

Yeah both sick arse channels

Holy shit. Did he screw everything on the deck too? That is an insane amount of work.
Best 4 hours on RUclips! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really liked the tribute to Mr.Leahey, I met John Dunsworth a couple of times. He was a true gentleman and boy did he love his rocks and concrete! Cheers from Enfield, NS :)
Definitely one of the most detailed how to videos I have ever seen. Thank you for taking the time To explain verbally in detail as to what your ideas were. And we should probly all thank Your camera man or woman or children who ever was the patient one to video tape you and not comment for hours and hours.This is not an easy task by any means.Great job thanks again. By the way I'm thirsty for the love of all did you drink any water🤣🤣👍
Hat's off for doing so much hard labor and presenting a show (quite lucidly) at the same time. That's incredibly impressive. What a man!
Im building a raised hunting blind and have been planning on building it exactly like that pretty much. This video helps alot and glad I stumbled onto it. I appreciate your hard work and putting in the detail
Can't believe I watched the whole 4 hour video. That's just how good it is. Thank you for the all the tips and tricks!

Wound up building a shed with this design in 2021. Rewatching now because I’m building a second shed. This time I’ll write down notes but I still enjoyed the whole 4 hour rewatch 😂
"If they don't find you handsome, they'd better find you handy"...
Well, I think you're adorable as well as handy.
Thank you for sharing your time teaching us all of these wonderful tips and tricks.
This was more entertaining than watching a movie and I learned a lot.

I've decided to build my own outbuilding to serve as an office since I'll be doing pretty much all remote work now, and between your shed videos and Larry Haun I'm feeling pretty darn ready to go. I've watched this three times already... :)
Hi! I had to pull an all-nighter to finish an 18th century gown and found your blessed super long videos. I absolutely adore the passion with which you work and your endless amount of knowledge about literally everything. Thank you for keeping me company. I am finally off to bed now.
Sorry i missed your comment. Thanks for your kind words. Cheers!
We started with this video and today almost finished our first proyect! I just wanna say thanks for your Chanel and advices…
This guy sucks me into hours long videos... And I love it!! I've learned so much. Thanks Jeff!😁
I fell asleep while watching youtube and when I woke up I as about halfway into this video...
And there was a shed built hafway in my backyard... Thanks papa Home RenoVision
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
Your content is excellent!! You have a way with teaching that makes it very simple to follow along, and that’s so rare when it comes to diy building videos. I’m a remodeler/handyman in South Texas and just became a new member 👍 keep it up!
I'm so happy RUclips algorithm brought up your channel 🎉 Usually DIY videos are only up to 30 minutes covering basics!! But for beginners every detail is important.. You're the top man!! Thanks for teacing ❤
Nice building, I and my family built our shop 24’x36’ , my 3 boys, all in grade school and junior high, put up the walls with wife and 2 daughters helping lift the walls up , my sons and I covered the walls in 4 hours, 1 walk in door and 1 16x10 garage door, I did all the trusses by myself, I averaged 7 minutes a trus, I put up trus with a 2x4 to level, used a rope to pull up truss upright had 2x2 stopper wood, I figured it was not bad, 10’6” side walls as I had to stay under 14’ due to city code, a framing nailer was my best friend, galvanized ring shank,
Hi Jeff, your cement mixer does have a lock on the side where the handle is, if you put the drum at the level you want it, just push the handle towards the drum and a little spike will lock into the circle and stop the drum from moving left to right. You might have to move it a bit so the spike lines up with the circle but you will soon get the hang of it and it saves you hanging onto the handle in cast it tips the lot out onto the ground
Undoubtedly the best DIY shed building video in the world!!
Thank you so much for this video! I ended up building a 10ftx14ft shed (with a lawnmower door of course) with my wife and it came out amazing! We had no experience building anything prior to this shed so we thank you so much for making such an easy to follow, step by step video. Your charisma and DIY spirit has inspired us to keep on working on our own house projects when we're able to.
how much did it cost and how long did it take?
Also when nailing the lumber together I have found a little trick if the boards just won’t go flush by standing on them, use a 8d nail and pound it in at a 45degree angle and use your finger to pull the stud up as you use your thumb on the same hand to press against the plate. Works pretty slick
I really enjoyed watching this video. I've never seen someone build a shed from start to finish. I really like the time you took to explain the building techniques along the way. i really liked the roof concept of the roll out shingle product. Thank you very much! Definitely saving this video for later. John - Lake Ann, Michigan
I love how he shows things can be changed and fix without stressing 😊
Just wanted to say I love you…..
I have sheet metal fabrication background and prefer on center…
Construction guys loathe on center generally speaking…
I even took college courses for residential building construction and had to explain why it’s faster and just as accurate (if you understand your job)
I’m glad someone else of your caliber uses on center!!
I feel validated to the max
This is absolutely excellent. I do wish your description text provided an index to “chapters” of the work. This way, we could return to specific portions far more easily. But overall your video is of exceptional quality, and your teaching style is outstanding. Thank you very much for this fine public service.
Thanks Bob, Glad to help!
Timestamps would be amazing yeah!
Chapters would be an excellent idea
Dude dude dude!!! U are changing lives. Giving the average joe confidence. U are definitely a blessing and giving lessons. God bless u, man! And God bless RUclips! I’m black but u wish we were cousins 😂😭💪🏾
Anyone with a great attitude is family to me. Cheers!
Anyone else watch an almost 4 hour video, with no intention of actually building a shed? No regrets.
Cheers!
Guilty.
I did and I am a builder.
lol and here I thought I was the only one
yes I did maybe some day will build one if i'm still kicking lol
Hey man, I was able to get a lot out of listening to this video, playing in the background as I am configuring my S. Florida carport into a multifunction (wood/metal) workshop. Many unique challenges posed by the subtropical "rainforest" climate, considering both day-to-day oppressive heat & humidity as well as the inevitability of tropical storms & hurricanes.
Your explanations for why certain aspects of your design are required makes for a universal how-to with the only blanks being the nature of mitigating the impact of these regional variables .
Thanks for sharing your experience without censor, the true hallmark of what an informational documentary should be.✌️
im watching this to make an office apart from my home cause during work im a bit too loud so this is PERFECT
This guy has Dad shoes, we can trust him.
Lmao 😂😂😂
So fckn true tho
HAHA #newbalance
Old balance
It's true! Old guys do wear dad shoes. Old ladies buy them for their old guys - because men who wear dad shoes are usually too busy to buy their own shoes. One of the best things about being old is that nobody really cares what shoes you wear. It's a blessing in disguise because at some point your feet hurt too much to care about fashion. :)
Great video Jeff! I didn't realize that it was almost 4hrs long until the end. Capturing your audience full attention is a great skill 👍👍
Those windows are almost $80 in 2024!!! We will be building our 8' x 12' shed starting net Thursday (July 11th) & I actually framed my windows & the 4 vents that I'll be installing. Your roofing method is what we plan on doing too
I've done a few similar projects like this already but still learned a crap ton here. Excellent in showing little tips and tricks but also the WHYS behind things here. Knowing why we should do something really helps to instill the confidence. Thank you for your wisdom good sir!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers Sean!
The reference to Jim Dunsworth was just awesome
Just watching this now - in 2021. I appreciate your tips and common-sense approach in what you do. As always, excellent instructions and advice.
Jeff, you cover so much practical territory that you often remind me to be more efficient and frugal. It’s off-topic for this specific video, but I am looking for block-wall foundation crack repair tips like backer rod and sealant types. ☮️🇺🇸
I can´t believe i saw the whole vídeo, from start to finish! Great "tutorial", make´s me feel like i´m working right there! And wen you say: if you build a shed you can build a house... I wanna start right now with my own! Haha... Cheers from Argentina!
Cheers , you probably have the weather for it.
This guy is enjoyable to watch and learn from. That's why I watched the whole thing
Cheers Mate!
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
Not only you aare very skilfull, you should get a Ph D in education for the ways you explain. Thanks a million and a 1,000 likes!
Your videos are great for weekend project guys like me. Keeping it simple and thorough for the uninformed like me. Your friendly Canadian attitude is refreshing and feels genuine.
This channel is teaching me everything my father didn’t haha
Right?!
IS there any chance your father did teach you and you just didn't listen? I have an 18yr old who would say the same thing you did but he just doesn't listen when Im teaching him.
@@cjhan47 more than likely lol
@@cjhan47 no.
My dad has never been construction- or mechanically - inclined. What I learned about building and mechanics, I learned from my maternal grandfather. I learned a lot of other things from my father, though. I like to think it's helped keep me well-rounded.
This video is AWESOME! I’m so grateful for your generosity on showing this level of details. Love all your Step-By-Step videos
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for going into deep detail and explaining every single steps. i looked up other videos but they only showed vague information thanks again!!!
If You Want To Build A Reliable Shed, You Need Knowledge of Foundations, Piling, Planning and More ... So I'm giving you a comprehensive "how-to" guide on the basics of woodworking. Go here ==> *WoodBlueprints. Com*
At the end of my 8*10 shed build. Used your build, work around, tips and tricks to make it happen. I dno how many times I watched your video. But it helped all the way
I’m pregnant, it’s late at night, I’m in no shape to build a shed nor do I plan to, but here I am.
Good luck with the baby - maybe hubsand can build you a she-shed ***grin***
@@SparkeyCox or maybe her wife or maybe she doesn't have a husband. Just saying.
@@stephenbochicchio4506 - Maybe - but ok
You never know someday you and your daughter or son can build one together! Keep watching and learning you will be a pro,
@@stephenbochicchio4506 good for you Stephen good for you
I’m 2 hours in and have learned a ton already! Thanks for sharing these awesome details! Can’t wait to start cranking on my own shed!
Again thank you for your interest in what you are doing. Jordan is lucky to have you as a teacher or maybe father.
It would be great if all the supply list was on here so I could price things out :)
Insane commitment to film this entire video in 100++ degree heat, I would have given up and come back another day. Bravo!
Just what I have been looking for. Thank you for your detailed videos, I didn't even feel the 4 hours
I love love love your channel!!
Hopefully you can build a sunroom soon. We just bought a house and want to diy everything, for the satisfaction of “I did that” haha
Thanks for the great content :)
I would recommend putting in four stakes in each corner of where your foundation will be. Then tie a string from stake to stake and level it to the height you would like to see if it works for you. they will also let you measure how deep your trenches need to be by measuring from the string to the ground
great tip thx
This video is 4 years old and I sat thru all 4 hours of it. Best damn DIY shed building video ever!
I love that you used plywood instead of junky osb !!
When I build my shed it was 8X10. I had a set of double doors as the main entrance BUT I made another shorter door on the right side just tall enough for my lawn mower. Then on the inside behind the small door I framed a box that was just as tall as a lawn mower. The end result is that there is always room behind the small door for the mower. Inside there is a convenient shelf for storage (the top of my box) and the mower is never in the way.
Love to all l

Watched your video till pass my bed time, didn’t go to bed till 1:30 am. Shout out to you, from Canada!

Jeff, love your work! I built a deck following your video, and it worked out great! Now doing a shed. Please consider these Health and Safety guidelines, for your own protection, and for the safety of people following your work:
1) Most important of all: Safety glasses whenever using power tools or working above your head
2) Hat for sunny days, especially for the hair challenged. Also water bottle.
3) Put your wood on a work bench to cut it so you are not trying to hold the wood, triangle and saw all at the same time
4) A kneeling pad will save your knees and back
5) Lifting technique for one person to carry 4 x 8 sheet material
Stay safe!
Jeff has a high skill level and he willing to take many unnecessary risk with safety, I just wish he would at least tell people how they should safely be using the tools.
Ever since that fateful night where I was staying up very late, on the side of youtube filled with wonderful DIY, contemplating what I am doing with my 20 year old self.
--Ever since that day whenever I type "youtube" into my search and simply hit enter, linking me to the first recommended URL
- I get this video.
Every time I search "youtube" and hit enter in my search bar it brings me back to THIS VIDEO "HOW TO BUILD A SHED"
My friends ask "why did you go to a video about building a shed"
I DONT KNOW BUT CHROME DECIDED I REALLY REALLY LIKED THIS VIDEO
I return to this video everyday......
Every visit to youtube starts with..... Home RenoVision DIY.....
I sacrifice my views to you DIY How to Build a Shed A to Z....
Maybe one day I will really build this shed.....
But until then.... I will be linked to your video every visit to youtube as a reminder......that i have in fact not yet built a shed....
have a nice day
I don't even own a home, heck I don't even have the money for the materials used in this video but I've already watched over an hour. Very entertaining
The video is enticing to watch. Also the works are just great.
Well done! I truly enjoyed watching. No birdmouth, still well done! You should really be a teacher!
What is a birdmouth?
@@peachesbeaches781 A "Birdsmouth" is the cut made on the rafter where it meets the wall.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
I have been putting off starting projects around the house because I lack the skills and experience but you made this look like anyone could do it! And if I am confident enough to think that I could build a shed maybe i can build a shoe rack thanks
Anyone else want to take a live tour of the shed and maybe move in? ... I did, and I’m only to the part where we’re testing the door!
love the Red Green show throw in there.
😂
Perfect timing my man! This was on my to-do list for the spring.. and you just mentioned my life . Open the door and the lawn mower is right there lol
LOL, a very common problem I am sure. Cheers!
The tricks you use to make a straight line with the rip saw is great, I however got a table saw and that saves a ton of hassles in the long run. Great build though...and to anyone wondering it's a Rigid brand 10 in. table saw with stand. Here in CA. it ran about $500.00 when I got it. Money well spent
This man is mesmerizing! I'm just swiping along and get locked into his videos every time. And of course thanks to RUclips's algorithms, I am looking into building a new shed, etc.
"when you can do something overkill simple and cheap, you do it." AMEN!!! No better advice
I just binge watched almost 4 hours to the point where I was sitting on the floor next to the wall outlet so I could charge my phone while watching. This channel is Netflix for men.
😂🤣
Love your common sense, every man, how to videos 👍🏼
