I have done a little bit of framing in my life and here are some tips.... shove the header all the way up to the top plate and fur the header down to your R/O, leave a minimum of 1/2" on all R/O's (1" if someone else is framing it); run your rafters long and snap a chalk line to get your tails straight; use a string on everything to keep it straight; turn the corner a minimum of 12" on drip edge and overlap minimum of 1-1/2" over the roof felt.
To support your roof you are supposed to cut a "Birds mouth" on your roof rafters where they meet with your side walls, the hurricane ties protect the roof from lifting in high winds.
@Find Out, I also reside in the Seattle area... what company or who did you use for your concrete pour? I'm looking to build a 12 x 16 or 12 x 20 as well. I really appreciate this video because it practically matches what I want and is a good baseline for pricing.
Hi Loren, I actually don't remember who we went with (Sam builds the stuff and edits videos, I edit comments haha) I'll try to remember and ask. I wouldn't give them raving reviews but overall they did a decent job. Communication with them was sparse, the job was under the table (I'm assuming at least, we paid cash), and we were hoping to be here when they poured but they didn't give us a heads up for when they were arriving. With that said I don't expect high dollar service when I am paying a budget price...
@@findoutDIY understood. If you do happen to come across their names in the next few weeks. Please let me know. I have an estimate of 2500 which I think I may roll with from a contractor friend. But that's just an estimate right now.
Just curious how do you find it parking a car 16ft in length or less within this garage? I am looking to have a custom garage built but it is in NYC and there is very minimal space. The largest Ill be able to get length wise is 16.5 to 17ft and about 12 ft wide. Cars I would park inside would be about 14.5ft in length to 15.25 ft in length.
In all honesty we actually don't use it for our car, we never planned to personally. We use it to store gear and tools but wanted to build something big enough to fit a small sedan for future owners and/or renters. We did park our Prius in it once after building it just to see how it fits and it was tight but doable. Our primary reason for building it so small was to stay within our cities un-permitted building limits (if we went larger we would have needed a building permit)
No permit needed because the shed’s footprint was small enough. In most, if not all counties in Washington state, anything over 200 sf requires a permit.
Amazing... Hey, This is from Family Handyman. We are interested in your video and want to partner with you. Please contact us back so we can discuss more. Thank you,
I appreciate that you seem like a guy who was just learning as he went. This is a really helpful starting point/overview.

This video was spot on for my project of 200 sq ft no permit required 👏 👌 👍

They even had the birdsmouth cuts on their diagram but missed it during construction.
Awesome! I need to house 7 cars in the woods and am planning either a big barn or I build 7 of these thank u for the video so helpful and awesome!!!
Barn is more cost effective, less materials to buy.
Nice work! No noggs between the studs there, must have some super anti twist pine where you're from 👍🏼
Great video and great build!
Thanks!
This was great, thanks for sharing!
Looking do something similar to avoid the permit process in my town. Thanks for a good video
Great vid!
Nice job 👏
Great project. Any chance you can provide drawings?
Good videos
This is really nice! Would you be willing to share the blueprints? I’d gladly even purchase them off of you.
Same question here

How did you wire electric for the garage door opener? No other lights or receptacles?
Right?! Lol. My first thought. Guess he ran an extension cord from the house for that garage door opener.
He put a pipe by the man door, I’m pretty sure he will run wires thru there

I am about to have a 1 car garage built. Can someone tell me a ballpark costs for the lumber? Thanks
What’s the nailes that u used called
And the holes that goes to them are they already there or u made them
Talking about the wood that goes in the nail
Hi did you have to get a permit for this job? Thanks.
With the airplane noise, sounds like we are neighbors! Nice build and thank you for sharing.
I stay in Seatac Wa.

I would of just bought a shed if it would cost me 7k
That size garage is going for close to 20k these days
Sitting in the dirt... yep.
@@stevelongo3672 is that because of the inflated lumber costs? can it be done cheaper by using all brick to construct?
@@sheenspeaks Lumber costs plus pouring the foundation is expensive
Am I seeing daylight/gaps between the floor and base plate when you show the inside of the garage at the end? If so, that's not good.
