Ever want more room to put all the stuff you own? How about a lean to style shed! In todays video I'll show you one way to go about building one yourself.
I love how Dave is one of the only RUclips DIY video producers that does not turn a 15 min video into 12 parts! He also like the Great Andrew Camatata does not spend the first 5 min on the video jumping around like a mad man doing self promotion. Thanks Dave and Happy New Year!
That and i like how he doesnt spend 2 hours explaining every little thing like how he drove a nail and why he did it that way just smooth building sequences and great commentary
Great video Dave! As a retired engineer, it's refreshing to see your approach and execution to such a project. Well done, and very inspiring! Your background music goes perfectly with the whole presentation. Thanks!
Good job on the safety tips. As someone who has fallen through a roof, 12 feet to a concrete floor (not recommended), you were spot on. I am glad I did that when I was 18. Us old guys don't bounce nearly as well!
I'm getting prepped to build my own greenhouse this Spring, so I am watching every video I can find that deals with shed construction. I like that you take your time and explain things clearly while also showing us what you mean. There are WAY too many time lapse building videos on here. I don't get anything except frustration from them.
Dave. Thanks again for inspiration. I want to go out in the cold and build something now. Also learned something in this video! I’m in the 12x10 cabin ya taught me to build in 2020. 18 degrees outside nice and warm inside. Thank you again for the inspiration and memories.
I enjoy your videos. Tip... I was in construction since early 80s and posts went to pressure treated but they were lasting too long. So construction crews started selling the concrete pitch. Now the posts last about 10 years in concrete. I've still got posts after 25 yrs.
I did something very similar this past summer that I am proud of. Great firewood storage as well as stuff I don’t want in the garage (splitter, oil pans, etc). Great video. Stay warm!!!
Would you make a video on wood stoves? Burning, temperature control, but mostly installing and everything about the care and maintenance - specifically, how to change the rope wrap surrounding the stove opening , as well as the ribbon cording that goes around a wood-stove glass window and how often to replace them. What to do if the stove glass breaks while hot and stove is a blaze, where to purchase new glass & it’s install. Maybe about safe distance from walls, wall liners, wood-stove install in an existing brick fire place and chimney liners as well as safety preps for flooring to set a woodstove on. Great if you can provide above information and “how to” for cabins or existing house. Love this lean-to video, I sent to my brothers.
Being out of the "do it yourself" life for the foreseeable future I pretty much live vicariously through your videos until I can get back in it. Always enjoy it when you drop a new one. The only problem with this one was.... it was too short! Just kidding. I know it's not easy to make these things but I wanted you to know how appreciated it is when you do. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.
I love watching the videos to learn something, (and be entertained but mostly to learn) though I will never personally build something like Dave has. I will however, be available for advice to others...😊
Always take the time to work safely on a ladder or while working aloft. I once rushed to finish a job because it was so freaking hot , 104 degrees in August. Needless to say I’d ended up falling 18 feet. Broke my left wrist in 3 places, broke 2 ribs, and completely tore my left rotator cuff and left bicep. Took me over a year to recover and heal up. Lucky I was wearing a hard hat at the time, otherwise I think I would have stove my head in. Don’t compromise on safety.
Great job Dave. I've one to build on a 60' barndo this spring. It's always nice to learn from another's mistakes. I'll keep my cordless drill on my tool belt 😂
I really enjoy when I see a video of yours, or Brookes, or your brothers, or your son's. Some projects are simple and some are complicated and others are in the middle. Thanks so much for making a day for an old gal .
I loved this video. Actually, I have really loved every video you have put out good sir. Stay safe and I can not wait to see what other little side project you have coming.
Dave- you are the best teacher ! I want to build a storage shed and I don’t even have anything that needs covering! You are extremely entertaining and informative! Thank you! Happy New Year! 💕🇺🇸💕
Good descriptions on the building for someone who’s never taken on a project like that! All made more possible because you’re wearing pnw handmade boots. Fine work all around.
Dave when digging post holes you should try a manual ice auger. The kind you would use for ice fishing. You would be surprised how fast and easy it is to dig a hole versus a traditional post hole digger you used in this video.
But that razor edge I put on it! Oh, well, it can be reworked. The three point powered auger on the tractor for setting a zillion posts worked great, sold it when we didn’t keep stock any more. Never would have occurred to use the ice auger.
@@mred8002 a manual ice auger is about $60 and makes just a big enough hole for a 4x4 then instead of using cement I use pea gravel to fill the hole. Because I hate the dust associated with powdered cement.
That build technique has come at just the perfect timing! I'm attempting a almost identical build on approximately half the size next week, thank you for the great tips on getting the angle cut from the building outwards. I wouldn't mind having some snow aswell 😂.. great video Dave & Happy New year 🎉
I watch Dave everyday..Love hearing his voice to , Kind of calming ..He is family in my heart Thank you Dave for filling a void in my life you mean a whole to me and my family you just didn't know it
I'm a retired professional carpenter and I have to say, Love your work and your Keep it simple I diot aditutte ❤ and your concept of Big Government. You're a great person LOVE YOU MAN.
Dave Whipple, you crack me up! You made a fun and funny video out of a brilliant little add on while sparing with the weather. 😂 And I just love noticing how unique a brand your background music makes your channel which ironically does blend into the background while tying everything together. Best wishes and happy new year from Massachusetts. 🎉 Stay safe!
Love the sliding off the roof and feeling for the ladder trick 😅. I like that your content includes those real life situations most of us have been in. Your channel is my favorite Dave because you are so relatable.
Thanks for all the motivation with your videos. last month my dad and I built a 12x16 cabin with no experience. We had a similar issue putting on the metal roof too, started sleeting when I was up top.
IV been stuck at home with a shattered ankle. You n your wife have kept me sane and distracted while I'm stuck inside. Thank you! Sending love from the Adirondack mountains of NY
Love the videos Dave, it’s therapeutic being able to build and take your mind off of other things. Stay warm and Go home and sleep well. God bless you and the family. Until next time.
Always enjoy your videos Dave. This one shows how uncomplicated building is, and is so matter of fact and unpretentious, it shows people that they can do it, too. I built my own shed years ago, and have toyed with the idea of expanding it, or doing another. Now I just have to get off my duff and do it!
When we were working to install heating and insulation, dad had to either work in the snow or try to fit in the 4×10 "porch". He'd come in sweaty and snow covered, sigh, and announce "Sure are lousy working conditions..."
I was telling my wife how much I enjoy watching you, how your presentation is so much better than many out there. She said, "Have you told him? He might appreciate it given all the negative comments he receives." So I'm doing just that. Love ya, brother!
Happy New Year to you and the family!. Just wanted to let you know the book your aunt wrote, Albanian Escape, was a really interesting story. It would actually make a great movie. I love reading the books based on true WWII stories. Your aunt seems to have been one tough lady and certainly one to be proud of. I am so glad you mentioned the book.
Helping my buddy further north, up near Chicago with his fences, I was amazed to find out that termites don't like colder climates and posts straight in the dirt are much more prevalent up there.
Good one, Dave! Last summer a friend and I built a 25’x12’ lean to on my barn and it turned out great. I’ve also built a 12x12 woodshed and a garden shed by myself and boy do those clamps come in handy to hold boards in place when you’re working alone. I actually prefer to do things by myself so I can take my time (I’m 68) and figure things out, because I have no professional carpentry experience. I make a lot of mistakes pros might laugh at, but I also find it rewarding when I finally get things to work out. I’m the only one who sees and uses the things I build. They work fine for me, and that’s good enough. Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them and learn a lot. ✌️🍎👍
Happy New Year Dave and Brooke and all the friends and family!! Thanks for all the great videos you've posted thus far... let's look forward to a bright and joyous 2024!!
Hi Dave, Thank you for all your videos and simple to follow instructions. I enjoy your outdoor projects because they always give me ideas and I enjoy the scenery. All the best to you, Brooke and your family.

That stone silo in back is a beauty!
Right? That looks awesome! I've never seen one built from rock like that.
I was eyeing that too, it’s bloody awesome.
Nice silo! I have a concrete one but it needs a roof.trying to get some ideas for it.
It’s beautiful!
It is lovely.

I am a journeyman carpenter, retired. I still find things that Dave does that educates me on how to build smaller buildings without breaking the bank.
You sure make everything you do look easy! It's actually relaxing to watch you work. Congrats on an excellent job. Looking forward to your next video!

The use of the chainsaw made sense - good idea! Much safer than jawing a circular saw on tiptoes!

Have you thought about charring the sub-grade portions of the posts to fight wood rot? (We see that you are using treated material.)
Im sure if he had the time to think of that would done that
