Treat the wood on your corners etc, then paint those corners with a green gloss paint to match your sheet metal. That mower will be ideal for cutting down your pastures Great job JT..
Amazing job for your first go! Well done JT! Just one question...does the roof not need some over hang front and back to protect the wood and stop the rain from dripping inside? 🤔😅 I'm no expert, genuinely wondering. Well done again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you did right returning the first one, everything french is difficult 😂😂😂 (it had Jardin written on it).
@SimonJM yeah I thought about the wood too but didn't mention it as for the structure it's a bit late now and didn't want to assume it wasn't already treated 😅
Well done J T you just need some flexi filler along the inside of the roof line to fill the gaps to make it waterproof!! Youve done a good job for your 1st build.
No doubt there will be a lot of construction and DIY people adding "what you should do" type comments but I think it looks great, I would be proud of it. I think it's in the best spot as well.
Little shed looks awesome, the one thing I would add is 45 degree corner brace in each corner, top and bottom, this will double the strength, especially if you get a lot of wind, I learnt that the hard way 🙂
That's a great achievement JT - good job! If you are not fixing on keeping it long-term, how about a heavy-duty tarpaulin to hang down the front? Would be enough to keep rain out, untl you decide what you intend doing with it? Keep the videos rolling, great to watch your progress!
Well done JT, you are an incredible young man with an incredible partner. For your age, you two amaze me. What a beacon to show to doubters of young people.💗💗💗👵🏴🌹🌹🌹
JT , nice little storage shed, if you have any of the metal sheeting left , I would suggest you cut some full height strips and bend them around the wood panelling on the corners to help protect the wood from the elements and to maintain the overall colour of the project. You could even cover the edges of the roof line to make the shed totally weather tight. In time you could consider laying a concrete floor slab to prevent the floor becoming a muddy churned up mess, allowing you to conduct maintenance on your mower or if you get one , a snow blower.
meanwhile, as regards that first shed you gave up on, I would've gladly accepted the challenge. I absolutely love self-assembly furniture to the point of me currently sitting on a self-assembly sofa-bed and staring at my next project, 2 identical self-assembly book cases. my electric screwdriver is charged up and ready for action, however, I'm not quite that ready yet, but when enough energy has been mustered up, yeah. 🤣 I have some limited woodworking skills - you never know when you're going to need them. and yes, I've made a ton of furniture - the only thing is, it looks like someone aided a 9 year old with a band saw and drill while drunk. my footstool is my crowning moment of glory - it's 23 years old and withstood a ton of use/abuse without showing signs of wear. it's funny how DIY projects when done right, tend to last longer than anything else. on a side note, I also like /upcycling self-assembly stuff to give it a new lease of life. 2nd hand self-assembly stuff also generally tends to last forever too (ask my wardrobes!!) 🤣
Good job bud looks great... But i would have to finish it though if i was you. I wouldnt be able to sleep at night in fear of strong winds blowing it down lol
Great job, JT. Especially for your first time. A few thoughts/ideas. For the small gaps at the bottom where you want to fill in... if you can get some treated planks maybe double that in width, dig down enough to wedge under the bottom of the metal, then fill in what you dug out, should work -maybe as a more mod-term solution? And for the door... maybe a tarp with like a wide tent door? or even just 3 sections of tarp you can just flip up as needed to get at things? you'd need to be able to strap them down though. Might be terrible ideas, and are just that - ideas - so feel free to ignore. btw, you don't have a regular saw? or a workbench?
Amazing video , may i suggest that you concrete the posts in and treat the outside wood , or it will weather and root / split . You could even buy exterior green wood paint . I just want to know does anna allow you to be hired out as a handy man because you did an amazing job . Well done really well done .
Lol, nice one, I made one of those metal sheds that you had first and returned, it had 100's of screws, and I do mean 100's, took forever to build, and mine had awful instructions too! I'm sure your shed will come in handy.... 8-)
Take some advice from an old woman who has been wealthy and now poor. Wherever you can, especially for a shed. Buy used. You'll save an absolute fortune buying everything used. Every single thing in my home, is good quality, and was originally bought by someone with money to spare. You might have got a shed twice as big for half the price. You can find some amazing bargains in thrift stores, even vintage and antique things for a fraction what you'd pay new. Most times they will be great with a throw over them if you have pets. Then as you and Anna start making more money and can afford to, replace things as they wear out or you get bored with them, buying new if that's what you like. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I *still* wouldn't buy anything new as I get pleasure out of finding a real bargain. Like my green 'L' shaped leather couch. I *love* green, and leather means I can wipe it over and dog hairs just get swooshed away. It cost me £35 so 4 years ago. It was 3 years old and had cost the lady £699.
Errrrrrm... Nice work on the shed, but, there are two issues I can see with it? 1 - no concrete founding for the shed base/floor? Any creature that can burrow, you've just given them a luxury apartment to live in? You'll also get plants growing in there too. 2 - no concrete footings for your corner uprights? If you have major flooding and run off erosion caused by it, it's going to wash away the post bases and you'll end up with a skewiff shed that'll have to be demolished and rebuilt.
I *love* constructing sheds, chicken houses, aviaries and other outside things. Done it all my life. Still doing it at nearly 70 years old. The trick is to have as many tools as you can buy. I have 5 different types of powered saws for instance, and a compressor and nail gun and 4 drills for various jobs, plus a drill bit for every occasion in every size, plus hole saws. I made a great bench for outside my back door, out of a large pallet (skid).
Not hating but you need to concrete/postcrete the posts into the ground and a lot deeper than they are (roughly 1/3 of the length above ground should be under), you could literally pull them straight out with little effort. Just my opinion but I can't see this lasting.
Dude, that shed is 10 x better than anything I could do, so I kind of hate myself for doing this.... You definitely need an overhang on all sides, (for the weather). The rain is going to rot those thin strips of wood in about 2 years, (it'd be 6 months in the UK, I'm giving Kentucky the benefit of the doubt) Same for the 4 posts that are just dropped in to the ground, (no concrete or wood treatment). Don't you get a LOT of strong winds? Won't they just pull it straight out of the ground?
Looking great JT. Especially for a first time ever. 😊
It’s great that you are willing to turn your hand to almost anything. I’m glad that is not a lost art. ❤️🌹
Great job JT, Anna will be so impressed 😊 Really enjoyed watching this video xx
Treat the wood on your corners etc, then paint those corners with a green gloss paint to match your sheet metal. That mower will be ideal for cutting down your pastures
Great job JT..
Well done JT that shed looks amazing xx
Love the shed good job

Well done again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you did right returning the first one, everything french is difficult 😂😂😂 (it had Jardin written on it).
I'd be more concerned over making sure the wood was treated, but I also wondered about an overhang, at least at the rear.
@SimonJM yeah I thought about the wood too but didn't mention it as for the structure it's a bit late now and didn't want to assume it wasn't already treated 😅
Well done JT. You did an awesome job and you’re right, the corners bring the whole aesthetic together. 👍👏
Well done J T you just need some flexi filler along the inside of the roof line to fill the gaps to make it waterproof!! Youve done a good job for your 1st build.
Good job for first time.
Drill pilot holes into wood before putting screws in,that way the wood wont split.
Love your videos
No doubt there will be a lot of construction and DIY people adding "what you should do" type comments but I think it looks great, I would be proud of it. I think it's in the best spot as well.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. He's done a great job and yet most of the comments are offering advice nobody asked for!
A thing of beauty! Well done 👏
Well done, you’ve done a fantastic job 🤩
I would love to spend a summer holiday around your area. So much space to embrace nature.
Little shed looks awesome, the one thing I would add is 45 degree corner brace in each corner, top and bottom, this will double the strength, especially if you get a lot of wind, I learnt that the hard way 🙂
Looking at the big picture it does look good well done JT ❤
well done JT looks great, cant wait to follow the journey
Looks amazing jt we'll done
Well done JT, she's looks good 👍xx
Congratulations on 10K JT.
Nice work JT 👌😊
Great build, likes like it’s a) got great ventilation……… b) will be a lovely home for wildlife……..
That there is a nice shed JT, good job!
Congratulations! We name you Shed 👍
as a handyman by trade well done brother, good job, maybe invest in some expanding foam for the little gaps but other than that well done dude
Good job mate
You've done it all by yourself you done a good job JT👏❤
You make me laugh JT the way you just jump in and make something! 😂 nice first shed!👏🏻
JT you've shown your hand, guess who's building Anna's Highland cattle shelter next 😂👍.
That's a great achievement JT - good job! If you are not fixing on keeping it long-term, how about a heavy-duty tarpaulin to hang down the front? Would be enough to keep rain out, untl you decide what you intend doing with it? Keep the videos rolling, great to watch your progress!
Cant wait for your summer 'Raccoon on a hot tin roof' recording later in the year 😄
Well done JT, you are an incredible young man with an incredible partner. For your age, you two amaze me. What a beacon to show to doubters of young people.💗💗💗👵🏴🌹🌹🌹
Good job JT looking great 😊
Nice job jt but most sheds have slopped roofs so snow and rain flow off the roof.
Well done jt your so happy
looks very good one thing i would suggest is if u have any spare concreate or post create i would put some around the main supports to strengthen them
Well done JT 😊👍
Well done jt looks awesome 😎👍👍👍

Good job fella ❤
It's looking good JT.
Look at you doing DIY and shit 😂 good job JT 👍
Those posts wont last long just in the ground, should of concreted them in.
Top Job chap 🤘
Well done JT! Bob's your uncle! 😉😊
Awesome shed
❤ love it
Jt looking at the shed height from the start, looks like only Anna can walk inside that, looks like a shed for a dwarf and not a lanky larry
Great job. Well done.
Good job bud looks great... But i would have to finish it though if i was you. I wouldnt be able to sleep at night in fear of strong winds blowing it down lol
Good job!!
Life lesson dude - you get what you pay for. If you buy something on the cheap the quality will suck.
It's amazing how fast you talk 😊
Yeah it comes out like a burst water main, lol.
Great job, JT. Especially for your first time.

btw, you don't have a regular saw? or a workbench?
The metal you cut off could be used to seal the roof and wall, if you can bend it 45*
Nice one bro 👌
Amazing video , may i suggest that you concrete the posts in and treat the outside wood , or it will weather and root / split . You could even buy exterior green wood paint . I just want to know does anna allow you to be hired out as a handy man because you did an amazing job . Well done really well done .
You should promote this channel more on your other channels great content
The three most feared words in the English language: "some assembly required" 🤣
Lol, nice one, I made one of those metal sheds that you had first and returned, it had 100's of screws, and I do mean 100's, took forever to build, and mine had awful instructions too!
I'm sure your shed will come in handy.... 8-)
Im now inspired to do more DIY i have so many tools i have no excuse not to

Some things are nicer when you make them yourself.
Hi JT❤
Good job JT 👍 I'm desperate for a new shed, maybe you could hop on over to the UK and build me one? I'll supply the tea and biscuits ☕🍪 😉
brill job should have just built the house too lmao
My dad has that shed 😂
Yes Sir!
Hey JT :D
Well done JT I would use the spare bits of metal at the bottom where the gap is
Once you cut off the posts, I wouldn't have cut the metal sheets, I'd have bent them over inside and screwed them down. (14.48)
I *love* constructing sheds, chicken houses, aviaries and other outside things. Done it all my life. Still doing it at nearly 70 years old. The trick is to have as many tools as you can buy.

judging by how badly that saw is behaving you might need to buy a new one
Not hating but you need to concrete/postcrete the posts into the ground and a lot deeper than they are (roughly 1/3 of the length above ground should be under), you could literally pull them straight out with little effort. Just my opinion but I can't see this lasting.
Well done lad! Get some expanding foam on it and some concrete on the posts and you're good to go (bar the backfilling) 😉
Is it Bigfoot proof?!?
Slap some oil or external wood paint on your wood to keep it protected from the rain. Coming from Scotland I can tell you what happens when you dont!
We have this exact shed and yep it was a bitch to put up . Good luck
Dude, that shed is 10 x better than anything I could do, so I kind of hate myself for doing this....
You definitely need an overhang on all sides, (for the weather).
The rain is going to rot those thin strips of wood in about 2 years, (it'd be 6 months in the UK, I'm giving Kentucky the benefit of the doubt)

Don't you get a LOT of strong winds? Won't they just pull it straight out of the ground?
Good job but you should put a concrete floor in you don’t want the mower sinking into the mud.
I'm a bit late to the party here but why wouldn't you make it taller than yourself? Aren't you like 6.2 or something?
it would cost more to buy taller posts but it's really not too bad, I just have to keep my head down a bit lol
That she'd has.... um... character. Yeah, that what it has, character!😊
In truth, it's not a bad effort there, fella.
5hours lmaooooo
Takes the ride on mower out of a perfectly good garage to store in a half built "shed"
