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.
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’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
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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?
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'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
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.
👍👍 👍, 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 🔥.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Great content and explained very well. Do you have any suggestions on doing a 1 1/2 to 2 story shed? In my area, I can only build a 10x10 shed, without a permit, but there is no restriction on height. So I was thinking of doing a workshop on the bottom and storage boxes on the upper level. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, I'm a total newb at this. lol
really enjoy the channel, as well as your humorous approach. As a fellow Canuck and Ontarian, bonus points for giving directions that I know will meet local codes. 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 has inspired me to build a shed. Just ordered the wood today. Been thinking about this and planning it for 8 months. Question about the Tapcons. What spacing did you use, and what size tapcons did you use? Love your videos. Very inspirational and informative. Keep up the awesome work.
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
Purpose of dbl top plate is to tie walls together, you overlap the plates to lock walls together.....dbl stds on corners.....typically sheet after walls are up, sounds crazy I know but most framers and sheathers do it this way
I don't care what they do. I designed this build for anyone who wants to build it and needs to do it without help. If they want to sheet the second floor of as building after the wall is up then all the power to them. I would think that was a little crazy!
I agree and I think holding a framing square in the corners was a very ineffective way of squaring the shed. Just measure the diagonals it takes one minute lol
@@TheFishingFL Yeah 3,4,5 or 6,8,10......I mean if your gonna build a shed these professional steps don't take anymore time or cost anymore, just bit more insurance.......also bolt that thing down to concrete, screws and power actuated nails only pass for partition walls, not structural exteriror.......since concrete was poured insert J bolts on perimeter....I understand it's a DIY video but it can still be professionally done....

i'm planning a 10' x 20' based on this design. I live in Hawaii so there's a hurricane threat. having a hard time deciding whether to bolt it to the slab or not. Once it's affixed to the slab it becomes a permanent structure which means i have to go through the permitting process which can be a pain in Hawaii.
Spongeworthy Check with your Building department, putting shed on concrete is not the reason permit is required, it may be a size issue in SoCal 120 square ft. Is allowed no permit required , some areas allow up to 200 sq. Ft. Even with concrete floor. Worth checking into.
Thank you for explaining the nice easy shed design so succinctly. I have been looking for a design exactly like this, in books, with step by step instructions for years! Never found any! You give very clear instructions! Could you make a video of a lean to type of a 12 x 8 porch addition on the side of a home? I am trying to build that type of enclosed porch with a lot of windows. Sort of a sun porch/greenhouse oriented south facing to let the winter sun help warm it. I happen to be a woman under 5 feet tall building alone, so I will have to figure this out as I build. OR do you know of any books that may have this type of porch in them? Thank you. GREAT job explaining your videos on how to build a beautiful shed!!
Get the sliding compound 12" miter (chop) saw. You'll use it thru out your project, many uses too. The circ saw using the square for a guide will be there if you need it?
One thing we always do when building walls, which I dont know if you do this, but we tie the walls together using the 2nd top plate... well leave one short and the joining wall plate longer so when they come together you can get up there and line them up and nail them... just thought I would say that hope I explained that okay so somebody could understand.. also on the corner studs, we usually put one in flat flush with the inside of the wall so that you can nail the other wall to it really well and gives you some backing if you're hanging drywall... k I'm done love your videos
Hi Rick, that is good practice for sure, however since I was not able to do this with the front wall, I chose to use structural screws in the inside corners to hold it all together. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY ah I see I know you definitely know more than I do... but I wanna learn all I can so I hope I dont offend you when I say something just trying to understand why ya do something or different ways to do stuff
I have that exact claw hammer and I love it. The only draw back is that when you put it on your belt the part that sticks out sometimes gets stuck on the loop which gets annoying but you get used to it.
Hi mister. I enjoy watching you videos. They are great for people like my who can do "do it yourself staff". I wonder you may be able to make a video for outdoor security lighting or a good idea how to keep your property a little bit more secure when it comes to night time. I know there are tones of security outdoor lighting. Solar lighting. Cameras. You name it. but I wanted to ask you since you have the experience and you may have great ideas for this task. Thank you mister.
Can you show us how to do a skim coat on a wall thats already been painted? When should you do a skim coat? Story is...someone did a horrible paint job where they painterd over nails and paper (crazy) the paint was so grainy I thought it would be better to put a skim coat on the wall before painting vs stripping years of paint on top of paint. Not only did it come out terrible lol but I spent sooooo much time sanding as many imperfections as I could. Videos on water damage would be great i think considering the hurricanes that are happening and fire damage as well. Just some video suggestions. I love your videos so much its so much more realistic and better than anything HGTV or DIY airs. Nothing you do ever gets old I wouldn't even mind you remaking your older videos or showing us projects even if it seems repetitive. Thanks to you and your team for all that you guys do!!
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.....
Hi there just found your channel by mistake sort of lol awesome video just what I needed to see I'm starting to build my own mancave/ spray booth shed which I've never done before I can't wait I'll definitely follow your channel great work I never realised not to blow out the drill hole for the screws to keep it tighter does this work for drill n plugs too?thanks for sharing 👍
On my shed I want a 36 inch door which requires a 38" inch opening. When I framed up the wall with the standard king and jack studs I was surprised to find the opening was only 32 inches. Why I thought 16 inches from centerline on each side would give me a 38 inch opening I will never know (19 + 19 = 38, duhhh). Anyway, good ole Sawsall and a metal cutting blade and soon the opening at the bottom was now 38 inches. So I measured over from each end of the bottom plate to the opening and nailed the king studs on those measurements. When I went to install the 41 inch header my king studs were placed three inches to narrow. Forgot the jack studs are together three inches and the king studs on top had to be the same distance as the king studs on the bottom. By this time I am nearly in tears. Sawsall again and re-nail the king studs into the top plate at the right distance. Wow, finally, a square door opening with 2 x 6 header and all. Moral of this story think before you go nuts with the nail gun... slow down. I'm a software developer (code monkey) and after thirty five plus years I am sick of keyboards. I love to use tools to make stuff in the three dimensional world.
Come on guys give him more likes! Great video! Love your channel! Please add links of materials like those panels to the description. Didn’t see them at homedepot

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.
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?
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.

very true griffin. every time I see a diy video from a workshop I say to myself, well there is 90% of folks who just can';t do that
Thanks for the video and the pleasant attitude and no fowl language.
Well shit...
I know, i was like, "What the duck?"
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."

Absolutely filled with brilliant tips as usual. Thank you for sharing. This series is proving to be so useful to me :-)
Good job dude.
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.
One thing we always do when building walls, which I dont know if you do this, but we tie the walls together using the 2nd top plate... well leave one short and the joining wall plate longer so when they come together you can get up there and line them up and nail them... just thought I would say that hope I explained that okay so somebody could understand.. also on the corner studs, we usually put one in flat flush with the inside of the wall so that you can nail the other wall to it really well and gives you some backing if you're hanging drywall... k I'm done love your videos
Hi Rick, that is good practice for sure, however since I was not able to do this with the front wall, I chose to use structural screws in the inside corners to hold it all together. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY ah I see I know you definitely know more than I do... but I wanna learn all I can so I hope I dont offend you when I say something just trying to understand why ya do something or different ways to do stuff
Where did you get the cool 2x4 framing Adjuster hammer? I have worked in construction for years and never have I seen anything like that! Too Cool!!
just found your channel, your videos are awesome. love how simple and straight forward everything is.
Thanks David! Welcome to the Home Renovision Crew. Cheers!
Is there a stock list I could find for this?? Thanks! Love the video!!
I have that exact claw hammer and I love it. The only draw back is that when you put it on your belt the part that sticks out sometimes gets stuck on the loop which gets annoying but you get used to it.
so very true!
Thanks for this awesome video! What size circular saw and type of blade are you using? Thanks in advance
I love it , very informative, easy to falow the. Steps , thank you!!!
Hi mister. I enjoy watching you videos. They are great for people like my who can do "do it yourself staff". I wonder you may be able to make a video for outdoor security lighting or a good idea how to keep your property a little bit more secure when it comes to night time. I know there are tones of security outdoor lighting. Solar lighting. Cameras. You name it. but I wanted to ask you since you have the experience and you may have great ideas for this task. Thank you mister.
I really enjoy the series approach
Subbed. Great content. This is the kind of training kids need nowadays.
Can you show us how to do a skim coat on a wall thats already been painted? When should you do a skim coat? Story is...someone did a horrible paint job where they painterd over nails and paper (crazy) the paint was so grainy I thought it would be better to put a skim coat on the wall before painting vs stripping years of paint on top of paint. Not only did it come out terrible lol but I spent sooooo much time sanding as many imperfections as I could. Videos on water damage would be great i think considering the hurricanes that are happening and fire damage as well. Just some video suggestions. I love your videos so much its so much more realistic and better than anything HGTV or DIY airs. Nothing you do ever gets old I wouldn't even mind you remaking your older videos or showing us projects even if it seems repetitive. Thanks to you and your team for all that you guys do!!
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.....
Using the triangle makes it so fast! Genius 👍
Your videos are awesome.

Hi there just found your channel by mistake sort of lol awesome video just what I needed to see I'm starting to build my own mancave/ spray booth shed which I've never done before I can't wait I'll definitely follow your channel great work I never realised not to blow out the drill hole for the screws to keep it tighter does this work for drill n plugs too?thanks for sharing 👍
Hey bud great video. I was wondering what kinda board did you use for your wall (finishing board)
On my shed I want a 36 inch door which requires a 38" inch opening. When I framed up the wall with the standard king and jack studs I was surprised to find the opening was only 32 inches. Why I thought 16 inches from centerline on each side would give me a 38 inch opening I will never know (19 + 19 = 38, duhhh). Anyway, good ole Sawsall and a metal cutting blade and soon the opening at the bottom was now 38 inches. So I measured over from each end of the bottom plate to the opening and nailed the king studs on those measurements. When I went to install the 41 inch header my king studs were placed three inches to narrow. Forgot the jack studs are together three inches and the king studs on top had to be the same distance as the king studs on the bottom. By this time I am nearly in tears. Sawsall again and re-nail the king studs into the top plate at the right distance. Wow, finally, a square door opening with 2 x 6 header and all. Moral of this story think before you go nuts with the nail gun... slow down. I'm a software developer (code monkey) and after thirty five plus years I am sick of keyboards. I love to use tools to make stuff in the three dimensional world.
Gotta start somewhere bud
Te felicito me gusta su trabajo se ve si sabe trabajar, muy profesional saludos desde paramount california

Come on guys give him more likes!
Great video! Love your channel!
Please add links of materials like those panels to the description. Didn’t see them at homedepot
I am not sure ifd they are always in stock at every store but you can find them at most building stores.
