You would think all these folks hollering about the use of screws, lack of felt, tyvek, and drip edge would see the other 327 comments asking the same questions and relax. 😂
You did a great job. None of those things are a big deal for a shed, people. 🤷
Exactly. This shed was built from experience since I did the same build 12 years ago at my old house and it's 100% fine.
Using Nails are cheaper,faster, and stronger (unless you used structural screws) but harder to correct any mistakes. Felt paper and house wrap would have been best practice. Also, PVC facia would last longer. However, it’s your shed and everything you did was perfect for a shed. I enjoyed the video ….looks great.
That turned out fantastic, Brad. Nicely done!
Great build video; appreciate your time and the way you explain the 'why' so that a 1st timer like me can understand. Thank for posting!
I love your channel because you do FANTASTIC work. I don't do wood (or much of anything!), so I look forward to your videos. You are so talented and smart and explain everything you do (or how it's done) it's so GREAT to watch you. Thank you for what you do, explain how to do it and the videos. Keep up the videos, please.
Thanks for the kind words.
Children are the best assistants :). Thank you very much for the video and the plans.
Good job, that shed looks great. I really like the siding you put. 👍
Excellent build bro thank you for your time and patience
Best explanation of framing I've seen.
MY GOD, NO FLIP FLOPS!
THE SHAME!!! lol
I couldn’t believe he didn’t have on safety sandals either. What is RUclips coming to?!?!
I don't want free plans, I want safety sandals
My God. Just let people be free. Who cares. It's his feet not yours.
@tonedeaf5581 obviously not a long-time viewer of this channel. The sandal comments are a joke. Brad's legendary "safety sandals," "Jesus sandals," or whatever else we want to call them are his calling card signature "egg plants" in nearly every video. Of course, there's always the chance you knew this & made you ridiculous comment for another reason, but either way, congratulations, you're definitely getting in his next viewers comment video.
Great video very practical and explained beautifully step by step even for a total beginner..!
The best DIY shed I seen. You are a superman.
Nice. Thanks for posting and detailed explanation.
1st critical mistake.... Screws cannot handle the shear force that nails can. That is why framers use nail guns and not screw guns....
Came here to say that. Screws have great tinsel strength but no shear strength. That's why nails are predominant in framing. Outdoor rated screws have some shear strength but not comparable to nails.
Can't tell what he used specifically, but they do make structurally rated screws. Expensive, but convenient.
If you have an issue with sheer strength of your fasters, your shed really has bigger issues.
It's a shed, what shear pressure? Snow weight? Lmao lmao. Your right, but I don't think it applies to a shed as much as a house...
This is a single story shed, framers typically build houses 😂😂 We get it though, you’re a smart cookie.
I'm a fan of both sill seal and treated when connecting to concrete.
i was gonna say no treated wood?
Looks great, just curious why you didn't put a foundation of tar paper, on the roof, before putting on the shingles.
"I forgot to drill the holes in the bottom... I marked the but forgot to drill them", sounds like me when doing a project :D
Awesome. Looks like you got it done in a long weekend. Maybe, maybe not. Parking the snow blower and mower in there will be nice.
Really awesome! Thank you so much!
Super easy explanation, thank you man ♥️👍🍷
Excellent video.
Thats a pretty great job. Looks like you've done this a lot
really nice explanation. You make it look like very easy to build.
Looks good
Nice build!😮
Love shed
Had to be the best video on how to build a shed. Thank you.
ou simplified it for the total beginner. It really was an outstanding video. Thank you.
Wow nice work 👍🏻
Great build video;👍👍
That is one very nice shed 👍
Beautiful work, dude! Really well done!!! 😃
Is it the new house? Looking forward to see the new workshop!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yup all moved in but shop time is limited since we've already had a basement flood.
@@DIYBuilds Ouch! 😬
Well explained! Details easy to follow with out BS! Thanks! Just how do you join corners together/ MESH them?! ..🙏✅✅🙏. NO one show HOW close up in and out to join couners!!
Good job👍
Looks so easy 😁
Brad, I did notice that before the shingles went up a drip mold should have been installed.
Yes you are correct. There were many cost cutting things I did on this vs a real house. It will be just fine though as I had zero issues when I built a similar shed 10 years ago.
Very nice! That's practically a "TINY HOME"😅
Hi, I downloaded the plans, when will my free shed arrive?
Between 7am and 11pm Monday through Friday. If you are not home at time of delivery, you forfeit your shed.
For any leftover "J" channel, buy a cheap 2x2 box fan and put a channel on either side. Pick up a filter about 24" x 24" and you have a very effective air filter for the shop. I put mine in the middle of the shop, set to high, put on a mask, then use the air compressor to blow the dust off of the lights and horizontal surfaces. After 10 minutes take the fan outside and blow the dust off of the filter and you are ready for the next clean up. Yes, I have a good dust collection system but I still end up with dust in the shop.
Hey, man, you could make some killer tacos in there. Nice work.
One way to help your project last as long as possible is to mix your won borate spray to prevent termites if those are a problem in your area.
What is the rough cost of the build
Good work on the windows. Real pro descriptions of how to do it. I have never installed siding and probably never will (It'sArizona we stucco everything) but again, explained how by someone who knows how to do it. Yup, about a million, that's what I estimated. You are good. If you weren't doing this, you could be a valuable employee for some other tech. co.
Terrific job on that shed! I would have put waterproofing between the vinyl & the plywood. Also, I am curious as to whether or not you had to get a permit to build that shed? Where I live you need a permit for any enclosed structure larger than 8'x10'.
They recently changed it to anything 160 Sq ft and under.
@@DIYBuilds 120 square feet for California :/ if it's under 120sq feet even adding a simple light fixture would warrant permits that are 1k+
You guys are good! Nicely done....you made it look like easy. I'm sure it's not.
I miss your videos!
I’m in the middle of moving from House A (with a barn and a giant lean-to) to House B (with no exterior storage). So… this is relevant!
Damn he good! 🤫
Excellent video and great looking shed. I built an 8x8’ one a few years ago, but not as fancy as yours. I used nail guns for all the framing though since I thought nails were cheaper, stronger, and faster?
It's a preference thing for me.
I've always understood it not as a preference and more that screws for framing are simply wrong, but I'm not a framer so I only figure its correct since nails have alot more flexibility and don't shear off or snap like s screw does so nails will allow some movement. I also understand this is just a shed but why wasn't a house wrap like Tyvex (understandably less important) or a roofing tar paper used?
You can use those products but I know them to be unecessary as I built the same shed 10 years ago with zero wood damage / leaks.
Very well done vid, excellent teaching throughout. Did you not use roofing paper solely because it's a shed? That part confused me.
Yes it's not necessary.
Wow Brad! You made that look easy!
That looks awesome! I'm looking to build one, I have a few questions. Do you have to build on a concrete Slab, If so what is the difference from not building on a Slab? Also how far away from the fence did you build?
Thank you!
You don’t have to plenty of ppl use concrete blocks on the ground and build 2x6 or 2x8 frame to sit on. He did tho and did build on the slab hence the bolts he put in
Bravo maestro! Very good job!
check for square before locking things down
Nice !!! That's a wild blue !! Identical to the comment button lol
I would love to build a little cabin on a back corner of my property so I can play little house on the prairie. Just kidding I would fill it with vintage toys so my wife doesn't leave me.
best shad video, love it
Love this and after a lot of research I think this is going to be my choice. How do I find the plans?
go to my website diybuilds.ca it's under 'plans'
That's a fine looking shed. Those PDF plans sure leave a lot to the imagination. Is there really only 3 pages?
Yes because the shed is 10 by 16 with 8 foot high walls. Studs 16" on center. The "plans" are a guide to go along with the video.
Nice job…did you install electrical on the inside as well?
Yes
Thnx Elon
Huh?
i was shocked to see you wearing trainers 🤣
Idk if its my ocd but wouldn't you want to keep the plywood off the concrete since it can wick water up and over time create rot on the siding? I know that may seem so extreme but I am curious as I am planning to build my shed and wanted to know if that is an actual concern or am I just over thinking it?
The concrete sticks out of the ground 4 inches so basically is never wet. The shed isn't sealed or insulated so plenty of airflow to dry out anything that does get wet
You know, crocs do have “all terrain” mode! Tennis shoes? Socks? 😮
🎶 pressure treated footer plate. Doo dah doo dah. 🎶
what is the type or name of those windows. looking into buying 2 for my shed build
Search for single pane on homedepot or download my free cost breakdown spreadsheet.
How many bag for the concrete
I tried the Canadian flip work shoe and got a black & blue toe for my effort...😮
How tall are the walls?
What was your total build cost considering prices of material on market right now, I know state your living in makes a difference with that too?
Around 4000 canadian plus 2000 for slab. Cost break down with links to everything can be found on my website under plans.
How many feet apart did you set those bolts in the concrete? Anybody in the comment section who knows what the rule is for spacing these?
süperr
Top demais...
How much did this cost
No felt paper or drip edge before placing shingles. Interesting!
It's a shed. It doesn't have house wrap or eavs troughs or facia or insulation either. Add as many elements as you want but at the end of the day this method is tried and true over 25 years to not fail other than replacing the shingles after there designed lifetime.
@@DIYBuilds so costs are cut due to sheds not subject to having a building code. Is this correct?
What part of the country is this project? Curious.
You're correct. There is no building code for sheds.
16:33 into the video I noticed you put down starter shingles without tar paper or any other vapor barrier?
Not necessary for a shed. Do as you please.
No drip edge either?
Again add it youvwant but I had vuilt the same shed 10 years ago and 0 issues
You go through putting the starter strip down, but it's backwards. The starter strip should have been put down closest to the edge, not up by the ridge line. That way it will keep the first true row of shingles glued down at the edge. @@DIYBuilds
Ya I think your correct.
Ways good to see a new video from you, really enjoy them. But no software crack code? 😢
Why no jack studs for the door rough opening? 7:00
It's only a 36" opening. Add them if you want. But it will be just fine with the double top plate.
Nice job. And I'll be the first... No waterproofing under the vinyl?
Nope. If it was a house for sure. But its an uninsulated shed so it will be just fine. Vinyl does a great job on its own.
@@DIYBuilds That's what I figured. In my part of TX vinyl siding is rare as it's not approved by code in most city's. Here you have to have 60-75% masonry.
And you guys do that goofy plastic on the inside of the building... We dry to the inside so our vapor barrier is on the outside not the inside. Seen many restaurants rot out because they followed the plans from a northern architect.
I have an 18x9 slab that needs a shed on it. Come on down here and enjoy the 104 temps. :) If I do build one it'll be stick framed and then sheathed in steel.
real time?
I’m curious as to the choice not to put a moisture barrier on the roof under the shingles… 16:24
Yeah. Me too. Also no sealant tape around doors and windows. Fear this shed is going to have moisture issues. Especially after such great work on rest of shed. Saving a few bucks won’t pan out in the long run.
In 5 to 10 years this shed will need some plywood replaced, roofing repairs and probably some frame repairs. Water damage will be the cause. A simple moisture barrier would have extended the life of this shed an extra 15 to 25 years. Apart from those, shed has great workmanship and looks amazing.
@@overyourheadtampa
I AGREE, COUPLE HOURS AN D EXTENT THE LIVE COUPLE
DECADES.
CHEERS.
I made the same shed 15 years ago and has had zero issues, so I know my techniques are good for this application.
it looks good but needs more waterproofing. need to wrap the edges of your plywood that are down on the concrete keep water from wicking up it. You need to do a house wrap a roof wrap. Also where's the king studs for your door and windows? Why did you blame the concrete guys for it not being square or was that a joke?
Those things are optional. I know because I built the same shed 10 years ago and has zero water damage. As for the concrete yes I did blame them because they made the corner with the conduit in it 2 inches higher than the other 3 corners throwing everything off.
@@DIYBuilds I look at it as if I'm going to spend all that money to build it, I might as well do it right the first time that way im not dealing with headaches later on. I live in the northern area (snow, floods etc.) where I seen people build shit and within a few years it's all rotten and falling apart because they didn't properly waterproof it.
No tar paper on roof?
No building wrap?
Nope. Add it if you'd like.
why not treated bottom plate
i was thinking about building a shed but as the dad i dont fancy falling of a ladder when flowing to shed instruction's
Not a roofing guy, but aren’t you supposed to put tar paper or other barrier under the shingles?
You can and I would if it were a house.
what u couldnt do the pad?
did the pad at my old house but we were having a side walk and large patio poured at the same time. also my concrete guy could get the 3 jobs done for less than i could get materials for so it was a no brainer to have done for me
shouldn't you have added an underlayment for the roof?
Wouldn't hurt but in my experience it's not necessary. So long as you lay the shingles correctly and replace them in 20 years or when they go bad.
Have to stagger your seems dude on your plywood. Now you have a week spot! No tar paper? Holy shit! Taking a hell of a risk of leaks. Or housewrap?
And yet the exact same shed I built 10 years ago has yet to fall down or develop a leak.
How do we get the free plans without downloading tik Tok or whatever app we have to go through?
go to my website and dont click on ads, click on plans then project plans and download the pdf... its not alot seeing as the plans would vary between your exact needs / size and the video should be a 99% guide.
What’s the length of the two boards holding up the 2x6x16?
They are 2 2x6x10 but I think it's 37" but it needs to be measured in place to make sure it's correct.
How to build a shed? Pay someone to pour cocnrete, then pay someone to build a shed.
Done!
Ok.
LMAO! Shed is out of square because of the concrete guys, it was up to you to square up the building before tightening the lag bolts. Still a good video for diy's.
I miss spoke. The one corner of concrete was high, causing the issues that I didn't notice until putting on the roof.
what is "rat wall" foundation? is that a thing?....
Yes. Google it.
Safety glasses AND real shoes?!?! What's happening?!?!
Why😂do you need to be supervised lol 😅
Why is called a toenail?.
2 grand for that pad ? Sheesh
A couple things were wrong but hey.. saving $4000 is not wrong either 😅
Nothing was wrong since it works as a shed without fail, but there are different ways to do everything.
GV your pops have strong limbs bro.
Where's your roofing paper??😵 You forgot to stagger your sheets.
Can’t say I agree with all your methods like screwing everything because they lack sheer strength. But cool.
