Welcome to the official April Wilkerson TH-cam channel! I’m April and I’m the creator of Wilker Do’s. I am an obsessed DIYer and Woodworker. I'm not professional or have any training, so I just pick the project I want to tackle and figure it out step by step. On this channel you will find a variety of content like DIY home improvement, How-To’s, construction, design and more!

Cody is a lucky man, you are a dream boat and a very accomplished woodworker. Kudos to you for picking up the trade and making it your dream. Loving your channel so far.
Really impressive work, April! That is a huge project and it turned out great. Totally seamless with the roof of the existing structure.
I am 72 years old. Just bought my small one man cave home for my retirement. You inspired me to build my own patio the way you did. Thank you for the great ideas.
That is awesome! Glad you found it useful. Enjoy the build and thanks for watching.
You have not only inspired me, but convinced me that my giant plans are completely reachable!
Imagine where we would be as a planet if we were all as productive as this lady
All I can say is: Your husband is blessed - awesome job from start to finish
First time viewer, and I'm shocked at just how confidant and capable you are! I'm not talking about man vs women, I'm saying for your age you are very talented and very clear and concise, well done!!! I'm 50 year of age and I wouldn't tackle what you did, maybe its youthful confidence or talent, but you get the job done and bloody well too... Congrats Aussie Sean
Yes April, I enjoyed part 1 and part 2. Having little clue of how to begin such a large project, and all many steps involved gives many many viewers a good sense of what is required to build such an awesome structure. Very nicely done. Glad as well things are working out well for you on TH-cam ....
All this great work, and I'm blown away by the maneuver for yanking sheets of paneling out of the truck. Like it was nothin.
Wow. I'm extremely impressed. Please tell us your background in carpentry because you certainly are not a beginner. You do things with no fear and you know exactly what you want. You execute everything beautifully. I've been a carpenter for 25 years and I'm sure I could learn something from you. Great work!
She waved goodbye like a Queen. Good work April..
Wow Just Wow. I have always been impressed by your projects but this time you have out done yourself. You did something an entire professional industries is designed around by yourself...SKILLS!
Lol I hope you feel the pride when you look at it cause you have earned it!
Young Lady, you are super. Not many people will try that without experience as you said. Wonderful job. You seem to be a very ,thougfull person and that is needed to be able to work with wood. Congrats.
: ) Thank you
I agree with Miguel’s comment and really enjoy your videos.
My wife is impressed with your determination and ability to figure out how to get the job done.
Thank you for sharing your projects and keep them coming. Mike Tovani
April Wilkerson I love you so much😘😘😘😘😘💘💘💘👄
April Wilkerson what kind of light did you use and where did you get em from?

Looks great, April! It really adds a lot of visual interest to the barn
Matthew Cremona Qo
I'd rather watch her than all other TH-cam DIY channels. She's so soothing somehow! And also, great skills.
Awesome job,I'm learning alot and I'm 50 years old.
The trim work can definitely be time consuming... looks like you handled it like a pro! Cool project!
Great job April ... I loved your Instagram Post where you signed your work "Built by a girl". I'm showing this to my granddaughters with the hope of inspiring them. Way to go!!
im impressed with your PATIENCE/DEDICATION over the projects you are doing ALONE!..just a lady like you..more power to you!
From one old school carpenter to you, April...!!! Someone schooled you well, after watching just a few of your videos, I am convinced that you've learned the most important tricks of our trade. Work smart, the rest comes easy. Are you also fascinated with the finer details of our craft, like spiral staircases & Bannister's, kitchen cabinets and intricate crown moldings and trim...!!!!! ..lol...you've a good eye April, kudo's...!!!
April, I'm stunned, but getting used to it too, lol !
You are simply amazing.
Where do you get all that energy !
Always so positive too !
That was a lot of work. Good job April
You guys have a beautiful home. And your really increasing its value and your homes comfort..
It definitely it's the brain that directs the body. What a great example.
again, super impressive job! and i am glad the shirt fits :)
Laura Kampf
Amazing job wow!
can i get a shirt too ? laura? #35 piedmont st. fairview qc..zip code1118 ,philippines..thanks
good job april
youre awesome! I just did this for my house following your steps! thank you!
Hi April, I just can't NOT say something--so VERY IMPRESSIVE!!
I don't usually leave any comments but I got so impressed that I had to appreciate it. Good luck.
For doing the ceiling single-handedly, one possibility might be to install the rear trim board (or a temporary place-holder) and slip the back end of the panel into place, letting the trim board hold it up while you secure the other end.
You make it look so easy to do..
Keep it up✌👍
It's great to see a woman tackle this project because I want to build a porch roof and it gives me confidence seeing her be able to do it! Marvelous!!!!
Wow, and you've never built one? Looks sharp, a night and day difference. Thanks for the post.
A drywall ceiling lift might have worked if you had to put up the panels alone. Great job!
Todd Reimer I agree
We use to use a piece of timber almost the length of the board on our head. Was awkward but worked, once you tacked it up all was good
.... or if you are in the UK some 4x2.
Matthew b.
The correct type of drywall would have been right. Regular drywall, no. You'd need some Purple Board to do outside work.
You impress the hell out of me; not because you’re a woman, but because of your initiative, perseverance, determination and work ethic! Also, your spoken narrative is better than most I’ve heard! I’m looking forward to the videos of finishing your shop! Awesome work!
Have to say I'm totally in awe of how you confidently tackle all your projects. Wish I had your confidence and competence. Well done,
Great job! I loved how you did everything . I'm a 68 year old grandma, and you do beautiful work.
Great job April
That beadboard is such a pain to paint, I've learned that it's much easier to paint it before hanging it... but everything looks amazing! 🤓👍🏼
From a carpenter at home with 30 years of experience you did a great job. Older video but felt to need to comment. Well done.
You rock!! And you did all that with no gloves! It looks wonderful!
Job looks good as usual. I would suggest installing some soffit venting of some kind. You may end up with condensation in the roof space without adequate air movement.
First of all I want to say “you inspire me to do so many projects” your amazing .
I have a question though !
Can you make a video of how to install electrical and get power to it please
Thank you
Great videos for ignorants like me,you explain lots of important details,a job well done it looks amazing !
I just started doing diy projects and you are an huge insperation to me. You are so full of energy.
muito bom,como sempre perfeccionista
Hmmm, the front of my house gets too much sunlight in the summer, it's a dreary walk from the driveway to the front door in the rain, and the whole edge+gutter has to be redone anyways...
Extending the roof with a patio like this would solve everything, I think I might give it a go after the winter!
greetings from Belgium,
Isabelle
I am so happy I found your video!
I now can show my better half that i will be fully capable adding on a front porch to our new house. He has seen me do a lot of different things but not build a porch yet thank you. For making it look so easy!
The drywall lift is most likely the best idea, April. Years ago i built one myself out of 2x6s and made a pulley system so that you could just wheel it into place and crank the drywall up to the height you wanted. I think the whole thing cost the price of a few screw since I had the materials lying around the house. You're a smart lady. You could definitely make one yourself if you wanted to.
*April, you inspire me.*
*Abril*
so back in my drywall days, I would use a dead man for one person ceiling drywall installs. Its basically just a 2x4 about the length from floor to ceiling with a tee at the top. You could then use it to prop up one end while screwing up the other. It was a REAL PAIN IN THE A__ :)
I'm 5'7" and used to get 8ft sheetrock on the ceiling by myself, no dead man, no breakage, no lie.
Never fear, I had a buddy who was 7ft and would do 12ft sheets...by him self!
Good job, April. I like your Go For It attitude.
Now if you cook too, I am in love. LOL Just kidding, nice job. You go gal. You look like you are having fun and enjoy every step of the way.
Your pool deck grades towards the house. That wouldn't be up to code in CA. A French drain right before your wall could be a cool project and a great way to protect your walls long term. Love your videos!

Andy Krause You bet! She’s awesome and doesn’t even know it.

You didn’t shy away from a project that a carpenter would look at twice. Good through build! Keep them coming.

Well done April. You're scaring a lot of guys. I'm guessing dad was a carpenter maybe. Your working knowledge and abilities appear to be well beyond picking "it up on the fly."
Actually no. I saw in one of her videos she mentioned her Dad was a Helicopter Mechanic for 48 years. She's just really that bright.
Great job, I love the end result! I'm also very impressed you managed the vast majority of the project on your own -- very well done!
While the posts themselves are raised off the ground because of the metal brackets they're seated in, I'm wondering if it would have been advisable to have left a gap at the bottom of the post trim so that any rain water can run away? I'm thinking that with the trim in contact with the concrete, rain water will likely collect and rot it over time.
Looks good mate.Maybe round off the trim on the pole bases, I can see shin/ankle pain.
Lucky you're not in Oz. 6--12 weeks wait for council approval with a $500 fee. big fine for unfenced pool and large fine and possible disconnection for illegal electrical work. But then again I won't be telling my council about the new shed and I will do my own electrical.
What they don't know can't hurt me.
Look forward to the next project. Cheers
Her entire back yard is fenced, so the pool may not be an issue. Also, codes and ordinances vary by state and even by county. In some places, this would be cool, as it wouldn't be a major load-bearing structure, but an attachment.
Australia is a bit of a nanny country in many ways. Health and safety issues get ridiculous sometimes. While in Greece you can basically do whatever you want, inspections are done after building and errors fixed afterwards. Makes me wonder why we have international standards
No, at least not in Australia - there is an assumption that kiddies live and play in that backyard.
Completely agree with you about nanny states etc., and living in the UK I see it first hand all the time (increasingly for the last 43yrs - but HEY we're leaving the EU now). Having said that, nobody wants to go to an idyllic holiday apartment in Greece where someone with absolutely no electrical experience or regard for human life (just money), has done the electrical work, or gas work for that matter. It's not unheard of for holiday makers to be carbon monoxide poisoned by incompetent/unscrupulous landlords installing dodgy boilers/heaters. OK. I'll get off my soapbox now, but regards from Mark in the UK
Not to mention the cost to productivity from ridiculous OHS meetings
To je žena,kterou si každý muž může jen přát..
I think this young woman is outstanding, I especially like her independence, yet realization that there are times -- very few, in her case -- where help is good. Outstanding. April, is there ANYTHING you won't tackle?
You need a trim board at the bottom of the barn wall. Other than that, GREAT WORK!
Evolution Glitch i was looking at that too.
Evolution Glitch agreed
Wow...doing things half-way is not in your vocabulary is it?! Great job! ;)
Hello April, Nice build. In the UK we use a "dead man" for supporting sheet material when working alone, a suitable length of 2x1 with a tee top to jam and support the other half of the sheet.
Another handy tool is a water level, Handy for setting out post heights etc., this eliminates compounded errors that can happen when using spirit levels.
Regards James.
It turned out great. I love the lighting. Hard work made to look easy. Bravo. Inspiring.
Later put a rain gutters on when you have time
does need them if it rains a lot in the area.
What do you think about some base trim along the bottom of the building? Great project April... Seriously!
Wow! Great job! I've been wanting a patio cover for our back deck, and have been telling my husband that I'll build it myself if I have to. You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing.
So much love in this video
A real American life, just proud of you
a good decision to cap off the post bases with mitered 1" boards.
I would guess that depends on how the wood is treated. I have seen a similar design go bad. The wood on the outside of the corner expanded more than on the inside of the corner. There is now a gap on the inside of about a 10 degree angle.
What was the total cost?
SUPER! my wife loved it. Now I have project to do, LOL!
April, I love your "can do" attitude! No doubt in my mind that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Carry on !
Base board along the front of the building?
Yep but that is a project all in itself. The bottom of that siding is rotting slightly so I want to cut a portion off then repair it. All in time! ; )
I want to be you when I grow up. Okay, maybe I'm older than you but whatever... You are such a model for me 😉
Nothing wrong with asking for help no matter how good you are everyone needs help 👍🏻
Great job! I am jealous of your skills! Younger me would have tried it but probably wouldn't have done as good a job as you did! Impressive!!!
You should have put a ceiling fan in one of them so wouldn't be hot out there if you were sitting Under that little Eve
Great video. I used to try to lift wallboard and paneling over my head, then my friend told me to rent a drywall lift. Wow that made 1 person lifting overhead easy. 8^) Did you pull permits?
I was going to suggest the same thing about a renting drywall lift when you said you don't know how you would lift the paneling by yourself.
Or for a small job with light material like this one just make a T support out of some scrap
was going to mention that david here we call them dead men
You did an amazing job!
Well done, April!
Thank you so much!
Wow awesome work April , you re better than most carpenters that I know who do this kind of work daily .. :-)
I can call you Iron Women ...well done
seeing a girl that can do so much serious work....makes me feel I am useless in my life !
At last I found part 2. April you are "Wonder Woman" taking on such large projects. Just love seeing all of your videos, keep em coming.
WOW, wonderApril, I'm watching your videos after two years, but I'm enchanted by your skill. Really good
Michele
You need to release more how to videos, they are the best online, anywhere.
Nice job. Your thoughtful planning and careful attention to working the process carefully has impressed me. Thank you for taking the time to post it all. It's a service to us all.
April, you are so awesome! Such incredible ambition and fearlessness. I am intimidated and inspired. I wanted to build an overhang on a previous house I owned but never had the courage to take it on. Looking back it was way over my skill level but I sure would have learned a ton by doing it. Good for you!
Bravo April, we have contractors adding a deck with roof riright now with a wheelchair ramp for me. I must admit watching them work makes me miss it. keep it up. you r Awesome!
Love seeing you do what you want to do like when the bored drops after you put the lightning up you just smiled
I am a 23 years old Christian who finished nursing school. And will build a house after one or two years.
Your videos gave me couradge and will to start making manny things by my own in the house.
GIRL YOU ARE FANTASTICALLY SKILLED, I'D LOVE TO DO THIS TO MY PORCH! IT LOOKS EXCELLENT!
Seriously you are my spirit animal! I'm so beyond excited to have found your channel! You give me so much inspiration! I can't wait to get my mini shop all together and ready to start building!
You are my new hero....I wish I had the talent and patience
Exceptional job April!
Looks great and really works well with the rest of the property. Once it is stained and had a bit of weathering it will look like it has been there forever.
Nice work April!
You are amazing! I admire anyone who can tackle something like this. I am looking at renovating my screen porch that is rotting slowly around the edges. You give me confidence it can be done mostly by myself.
Thank you for sharing!
Wow April, what an inspiration, I am buying my first ever house, the house has a pretty nice 3 season porch. When my son saw the ceiling this is exactly what he mention to me to replace the stain ceiling panels. So the project will complete two tasks.. one, tear ceiling down, check for mold, then clear any mold if found, ( strong suspicions) and redo the ceiling like this. I have hope now. As well, we will build a second story deck across the back of the house. ( river frontage) ... the posts I watched you install will be a great reference video. Another Well Done Video April.
All i can say is nice , i like the way you pay attention to detail.
thanks for your video, I think you should start doing your own tv reality show. You have the talent
