Appreciate all the views and comments! This was some of my first videos and I know there not the best out there! But subscribe cause the future is bright! God bless!
I love your honesty. Thanks for the video and commentary. You seem like a good country man that loves his family and is willing to tackle projects to save money and learn. Just straight forward with instructions and comments. Good help to me. Don’t change your simple and honest style.
This comment is honestly what I needed! The slow growth is downing sometimes. But I try to make ea h video the best I can with what I got! I’ve learned so much from TH-cam, that’s why I made this channel! God bless you!
@@gkbuilding persistence makes successful people. If you love what you do and believe in it, keep doing it. It’s okay to make adjustments along the way, in keeping with your core values and principles. In my life I have worked with many very educated and very intelligent people. Some more so than myself. But here is the key. Learn to outwork, out hustle and never give up. Most will quit when times get tough. Success has a price. But stay true to yourself and your family. This is where strength comes from during difficult times. Good luck.
Watching your build come together as a family was the very best part. Those Memories will last forever. You did an excellent job and I learned allot from you on how to build mine. Thank you for taking the time and thank you to your family as well. God bless brother

Thank u for being a true all American family. Something I wished I would have & will never.
Great video and commentary. My kids would be kicking that wood all over the place. Question for you. Why not 2x6's with plywood filler for headers? Single 2x4 sufficient as header?
Depending on where your located and if you have to be inspected then you will have to do a sufficient header that meets Code. Here in Ky buildings don’t have to be inspected. So for cost savings I feel that for this small structure, and with a double top plate that a single 2x4 header is sufficient. But by all means do a double 2x4 header at least if it makes you sleep better at night! (: thanks for the comment!
Hello. First off thanks for making this video. I've been watching a lot of shed building videos and everyone for the most part besides you just throws 4X4GC boards down on the ground and builds a deck on top. I think the concrete pad is a must. How come you did it this way as opposed to the boards on the ground crap I see everywhere else?
Because concrete lasts a Lifetime! When the wood is rotted you can replace it the concrete will be there! Thanks for the comment!
@@gkbuilding my thoughts exactly. I don't plan to be in the home I am building the shed but nonetheless I will pour a slab.
hei mate, G'day from Australia, sorry I don't quite catch what you used to seal the bottom timber to concrete.... can you please give me some more precise reference of that white rolled you used under the frame?
I am planning to building in the same setup and I am a bit confused on what to do....
thanks
Thanks for the comment! I don’t care a bit to help anyway I can! Here in the US it’s called Sill Seal foam. It’s a foam like material that acts as a vapor barrier between the bottom plate and concrete! They sell it at our big box stores here in 3.5” or 5.5” wide by 50’ long rolls for 2x6 or 2x4 walls! Hope this helps!
@@gkbuilding thanks mate... Much appreciated
Not a problem! Reach out with any other questions
That sure is a nice truck you have there. Shingle or metal roof?
Thank you! 3 dimensional shingle roof! Charcoal black for the color! That will be in the next video hopefully coming soon!
@@gkbuilding Can’t wait for it to come out. Have been checking everyday.
It should be up today or tomorrow! 😁
How many floor anchors did you use between each stud?
One anchor every 3-4’ be sure to put one on each side of door opening
How many days/weeks did it take you to complete this project? Thank you!
Including the concrete it took around 5-6 full days work. (8-10hr days) but I did most of it in the evenings after work so that made it more like a 8-10 day project. I would say I could build it again easily in 4 days (8-10hrs per day). Hope this answers your question! Thanks for the comment!
@@gkbuilding Thank you! I greatly appreciate your response.
@@kklaren No problem! Here to help! Hopefully your a subscriber to follow along with future builds!
@@gkbuilding Yes, I already am. If you built a full concrete 20ft x 16ft storage, approximately how long would it have taken you?
@@kklaren full days probably 8-9 days. Just guessing. Give or take a day or two
What you use holding 2×4 to the slab
5/8” wedge anchor bolts
Thank you
How deep was your concrete slab and how long before it was curing could you build on it??
4” thick and we wait 7-10 day’s usually. Hot part of the summer 4-5 days
@@gkbuildingwere the edges thicker? I have a 4” slab and want to do a 12x18 shed and wondering if it is sufficient.
It will be to store snowblower, mower, and a workbench for projects.
@@sokey70 yes that’s plenty. Mine is 4” throughout the entire slab
@@gkbuildingthanks!
What is the seal using to seal to concrete
Hey great question. It’s called sill seal foam. You can get it in different widths. They sell it at most building material stores. It’s for moisture control!
Wouldn’t it be stronger if u put the posts in the ground instead of on top of the cement
Maybe if you lived in a super high wind zone! Other than that this is a great building method!
@@gkbuilding got it Thank u, I’m about to do the same thing here in Florida just trying to figure out which is the strongest
