I enjoyed your video. The slab is barely 4" above grade. Where I live (Louisiana) I have replaced many sheds built that way because the siding and frame rot due to ground moisture and water splashing up from the roof run-off.
This is why I watch this guy. Honest, straight forward and to the point plus I can afford these tools, methods and materials. Thank you. And yes I agree about just getting the timber delivered because you can choose a beautiful straight as aces piece of lumber in the yard but it'll be just as warped as any other when stored outside for a night.
Most common mistake A LOT of people do. They make the pad too big. Your cement pad should be the exact dimensions of the walls so you can finish the siding/parging down to the bottom so that water will not ingress under the bottom plate. If you want a pad in front of the shed/garage, pour it after the fact, leaving a small gap between the two slabs so that rain water/melting ice will drip there. I have torn down many sheds/garages in my lifetime and most had rotted from the bottom because of this reason !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate the ACTUAL DIY aspect of these video's where a normal person with a normal set of tools can do it. So Many of these "DIY" video's explain how to build things and then proceed to use a bunch of custom tools that a lot of people don't have.
I’m building this right now and it’s working! I’ve not done any of these things prior. No pad pour, framing nothing. Mine has different dimensions than yours so I’m having my own adventure haha but it’s working and it’s fun! You’re such a great teacher. No step or scenario left unsaid. Thank you SO MUCH! I am definitely joining the VIP club 🤓😎
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
You do a good job at explaining why certain measurements or techniques are used rather than just telling what to do. That really helps when adapting techniques to our own projects. Thanks!
I really like your videos and I have learned a few tricks. I apprenticed as a carpenter in northern BC in the early 1980s and I would like to add one piece of advice. ALWAYS use eye and ear protection when running any power tools. After several cases of scratched eye corneas (painful and scary) from flying bits of wood from a power circular saw, I learned my lesson. I always wear eye (and ear) protection when working with all power tools.
I've been planning to build an extension onto the side of my shed, and was planning to make a single roof 8' tall on one side and 7' on the other. Awesome, now I get to see how to build it before I build it! Great tip on how to brace the wall by yourself, since I'll be working alone, too!
Thanks Jeff for ALL the Tips, my son and I are going to build our 12x16’ storage in 2 weeks time after finishing our neighbor fence, once again 🙏 and have a good day Jeff.
Love your job too! Really wish that's the direction I had chosen for my life 20 years ago. Now I get to enjoy your great videos, learn and experiment at home. Thank you!
45:26 You should also use eye protection when using the hammer tool - wood chips can sometimes be shot outward by the pressure. Not a huge risk, but worth taking 10 seconds to slide on your protective "eyes." Love the video series, by the way. You got me hooked in with your drywall series, and I've expanded out from there. Even though I've done some of these things before in my home reno DIY projects, I inevitably learn something from every video. The continuous flow of tips and tricks is awesome!
Very helpful, we just finished building our shed. A little different but custom using the principles we learned here. Thank you for recording and explaining everything!
Jeff I want to say that you are an exceptional instructor. Many thanks for your ease of instruction and tricks of the trade informative video. I love everyone of them, always learning something new. For a Canadian, I appreciate the american standard in measurement you use. The metric standard is certainly better, but we seem to want to be different. We are starting to appreciate it, as most of our vehicles are using metric measurements in their nuts and bolts-sooo much easier. Thank you again.
Awesome vídeo! Very easy to understand and no "hidden" tricks... Cheers from Neuquén, Patagonia Argentina! By the way: real men sweat when working hard, wich to me means RESPECT!
Thanks for the informative video on building a shed. There are some nice tips here and keeping shed simple saves money, like the shed roof instead of the gable. This fellow appears to know what he is doing, a good design to follow.
I've been watching for a while, first time commenting. Thank you SO much! Simplifying the process is the best way to get someone like me - happened to not have anyone handy growing up that taught me - to begin to learn these skills you've mastered. I recently purchased my first home and I've been so excited over the past couple of months to put to use the countless hours I've watched of your tutorials. Lots of dumb mistakes are made early on, but I'm familiar with that process from computer programming so I continue to press forward and learn. Thank you! Cheers from Windsor
Just in time for me to build my new shed, looking forward to the next video, so I will have the complete picture. Thanks for creating such amazing videos.
I am waiting for the rest of building this shed. I love your videos. Your video on basement and drywall and mudding was fantastic. You are good and thank you very much for sharing.
I never liked wearing caps when working outside, blocked my vision, but I do wear a bandana to keep the sweat out of my eyes. I'd keep two or three in the cooler to refresh. Cooldowns cooling wraps at Home Depot. Another great vidioe.
👍👍 👍, wonderful job, specially the technics. As soon as I finish the bathroom I am putting in, I will start a shed. Thanks for the hard work in the hot weather 🔥.
Great video, I have been thinking of building a shed and always worried about having someone to assist. The tips on doing this solo is great. Great video series.
thank you. finally someone who shows you how to build stuff without spending thousands on tools that most people will only use once. you sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. and i like how you explain the costs of buying a pre built shed. pre built sheds actually use cheaper materials, and many dont use 2x4's for the walls but 2x3's. and yea, how much do you want to spend? $10,000 for a pre built shed with cheaper weaker materials? or $2,000 for the materials and build a stronger better one? choices.....
not relevent to this video but, I remodeled my entire kitchen for my mom just from watching your videos. Im 17 and you make things so simple and understandable.
Dude, you simply awesome. I really really appreciate all the little info you through here and there. Which let us learn how to do framing the right way. So thank you so much for everything you have taught me
This is extremely helpful! It's actually the exact plan I am working on for my yard. So it's perfect! 1 question though. Which types and sizes of screws, bolts, and nails did you use for different parts of the construction?
Good timing on this for me, I have a failing shed that used to be a horse stall that got closed in, the existing slab is ≈12' x 24'. Your information will get me planning. I do like the idea of the single slope roof with the covered outside area. I will need a huge door though as the mower deck is close to 6' wide.
You could have put your anchor bolts in when you put the cement in. I would have put in some silicone seal under your sill plate to keep the water out. Nice job your doing.
You by far is my favorite RUclips contractor with all the the hidden techniques and simple explanation in general terms. As a rookie, I believe I have saved a lot of mistakes just by following your techniques. By working in a temp of 100+ degrees and being able to explain yourself in a calm professional manner is also very impressive. I’m truly now a fan of your site.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY jegf have a question i am currently going to deck an area i was a concrete patio what would the best way to go about it total removal of the concrete its 3 inch deep no rebar
Very well organized set of videos explaining everything needed to know about framing and building a shed. I'm subbed and will be catching up on alot of your content.
I built two sheds for our farm animals over the summer. We used the same paneling you show here, but we put them on after the frame was up and it was a mess trying to make cuts to match the grooves. Made the mistake of not staying 48 center. Wish I had seen this before building! It would have been much easier.
Great video as always, I built a playhouse dollhouse for my kids and spent more money on tools than materials. I bought them at a discounted store H.F but still added up.

I don't suppose you plan on doing a video regarding residential flat roof construction? Mine is in need of some serious repairs, and no local roofers want to touch residential flat roofs
This was a helpful video. I already am a woodworker as a hobby for the past 35 years, but a brush up on actual building layout is helpful. I plan in the spring to build an auxiliary "closet/shed" of the back of my shop to house the dust collector and maybe the compressor. I have a California compressor which is already very quiet but I may put it out there due to space constraints. Any advice as to connecting the narrow shed to the shop building? One last comment. I really would advise against anyone from holding the wood up in the air without proper support underneath to cut the wood. If there is any kind of kickback you can say goodbye to your thigh or forearm. ALWAYS have proper support under a piece of wood while cutting it. You can cut the wood on the ground with another board supporting it and gives clearance for the blade. Just my two cents.

Did you needed a construction permit to build the shed and how big you can build a shed without permit
@@justintorres2786 He covers that question. Answer is "it depends ". Check with your local building department.
so on the 7ft walls you took away 1ft an 6inches from your 8ft piece to allow for the top/bottom plate and the extra top plate correct?
what type of screws (and length) did you use?
This is why I watch this guy. Honest, straight forward and to the point plus I can afford these tools, methods and materials. Thank you.

your customers should appreciate you. you seem to be a down to earth realistic guy. I'd hire you for sure
Hinge, lift and hold technique ...brilliant..worth waching the vid just for that..feeling inspired
I've watched a lot of videos on framing. This by far best system.
Thanks Walter!
Just want you to know you have the best videos on DIY I have found for newbies like me, and you are more than tolerable to watch.. Safety third!!

Great video and teacher! Will be attempting your method soon and some of other videos.
Now that was a bloody good video Bravo.
I always use the crown plates to tie the corners together. More stability to the corners and easy to do.
that solves the problem on the back wall but you still need to use screws on the front 2 corners.

Good job dude.
This was a helpful video. I already am a woodworker as a hobby for the past 35 years, but a brush up on actual building layout is helpful. I plan in the spring to build an auxiliary "closet/shed" of the back of my shop to house the dust collector and maybe the compressor. I have a California compressor which is already very quiet but I may put it out there due to space constraints. Any advice as to connecting the narrow shed to the shop building? One last comment. I really would advise against anyone from holding the wood up in the air without proper support underneath to cut the wood. If there is any kind of kickback you can say goodbye to your thigh or forearm. ALWAYS have proper support under a piece of wood while cutting it. You can cut the wood on the ground with another board supporting it and gives clearance for the blade. Just my two cents.
that would all depend on where you live and the climate!
