Very nice. Appreciate this video. Your a great teacher
Thanks so much!
We really enjoyed the video. You're such a good teacher-from practical tips to why a certain thing is done. Learning the 'why' is important.
I only have one suggestion. If you're in a area that has animals that dig, for us that's groundhogs and chipmunks, I would suggest laying down a barrier under the foundation first. It's much easier to do it before than to try to add it after. If you've ever had to evict a groundhog, it can be troublesome and expensive. There are more 'permanent' methods but they're frowned upon in the suburbs.
For larger animals 2"x4" welded wire fencing laid over the whole area under the shed and extending out as far as your excavation works. Connect the strips with wire so it's a continuous sheet. Chipmunks would require 1/2" hardware cloth. It's an added expense but if they get under there and dig out a den it more than pays for itself in time, money and aggravation.
Speaking from long, frustrating experience here.
Very happy to have found your channel. I'm learning a lot and it's entertaining to boot.
For sure!!! 100% recommend some barrier right underneath the shed. Actually, that is a great video idea. Thanks.
@@EverydayShed There are many options that work, these are just the two I used. So far, no digging. In some cases an L shape leading away from the foundation all the way around is enough. These typically have to extend about a foot away from the foundation and are just attached at the base.
You know better than anyone how each project is unique so the solutions are always different.
Great video. Pretty straight forward. Nice
👍
This is a great introductory “class” for building. A be-all-end-all? Of course not, but this is one hell of a ramp up.
Thanks the feedback. We are excited to continue to put out new designs and help more homeowners take on a DIY shed build 👍
thanks! Very informative
Good morning!
I've always been interested in seeing how people build things. Very often, you see different people build pretty much the same thing, but differently. You can always learn something, even if it's how not to do something. :)
I just wanted to compliment you on this video.
It's apparent that you know what you're doing when it comes to building. Your construction looks solid and your techniques appear to result in a strong building which will be there for a while.
Moreover, your video production is very, very good.
The audio is good quality, easy to understand without any noise (like the wind, which we hear all too often in construction or other outdoor videos).
The video is also of very good quality. The shots are well composed, in-focus (you'd be surprised, but lots of folks seem to mess that up), well lit, and steady. There's also good graphics to clearly illustrate certain points.
You take the time to show what you're doing in pretty good detail and explain it very well.
Additionally, you've taken the time and made the effort to provide a materials list and drawings to help someone "follow in your footsteps" should they choose to build their own shed.
I'd say that yours is one of the very best I've seen on TH-cam. After studying television broadcast production in college, and working seven years in public access tv, I think I what it takes to tell a story using tv. Any home improvement show on commercial television would be lucky to have put together something as well done as yours.
Well, well done! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the feedback. I have alot plans for the channel futures. I hope to continue getting better at this and being able sharing what I learned with everyone. Your comment and viewers like yourself makes me continue to make these videos. Thanks you again! 👍
A remarkably thorough video on the process and techniques.
Well done.
I’ve built 4 shops on my property using similar methods and have to say your instructions are great!
Thanks so much for the feedback.
Wonderful video, brother! Thank you for all your help. It is a great value to the homeowner.
You bet!I just hope to encourage people to build more. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for teaching and showing all of us DIY how to build a shed from beginning to end. Im getting ready to build a 8X8 shed after moving the plastic shed to another space
Nice, don't forget to checkout our 8x8 build if it would help you th-cam.com/video/vJFawNjVA-w/w-d-xo.html
This is the perfect shed for me, nice classic design while maximizing space. I just bought the plans and I cant wait to start building. I'll be following your videos all along the way. 😊
That is great to hear!!! Please send us feedback on your build. Looking forward hearing from you.
Nice just very nice video
Great! i'm glad yall enjoyed.
Great builder. Thanks for explaining why you use the things you use. I can switch to better nails
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
If others are interested in building a shed, I would personally go with a 7/ 12 pitch or maybe less instead of the 9/12. I ended up going with 9/12, and roofing ended up being quite difficult as I couldnt comfortably stand on this steep of a pitch. Ended up needing to use roof brackets, and it easily took me 2x longer to roof it than it wouldve with a more manageable pitch. Also, dont forget to consider the facia before installing drip edge.
Aside from that, great vid! Thanks for the guidance!
I could not agree more... this pitch was pretty steep, and yes, the lower pitch you design the easier it is to build... And, I know, I forgot to include the facia footage in the buid.. thanks for watching!!
If you are going to use screws for framing, you wan to use something like Simpson Strong-Tie, Strong-Drive SDWS Framing Screws. These are rated for the shear forces in framing, the Grip Rite are not. Grip rite are barely good enough to use for crappy wood working projects.
Great tip! I'm going to start talking more about the hardware, there are alot people asking. Thanks for this one!
@@EverydayShed It's probably not a huge problem for a small shed, but if you get caught using the Grip Rite screws on your home you can get hit with fines and even made to tear out everything because of code violations. Honestly, I don't think they should be allowed to call these screws Construction Screws because they are not. They are just wood screws.
I wish math class would have used practical math use like building a shed roof than just all formulas. I actually learned marh here. Thanks. (Well, I've watched the videos multipe times 😅 and buying the plans. No need to gamble.).
Awesome, thanks for the support!
Great video my friend! I'm considering building a 10x12 shed with a friend but neither one of us have done this before. Would you be interested in working with us on building it? I would like to learn and you seem like an awesome teacher. I would pay for all the materials and you would be paid accordingly of course for your time and effort as well.
I would love to help. We have a 10x14 full build coming out in few weeks. Stay tunned.
@@EverydayShed Where are you located at?
Video skipped facia install. Somehow, the drip edge which was installed prior ended up outside the facia. is the problem on my end or is that not in the video? If not, why wouldn’t you install the facia befor the drip edge? Thanks and the video is very helpful. I am building mine now.
100% right. Make sure facia goes first before drip edge. I ended up pulling the drip edge to install the facial and needed to install a new drip edge. Lesson learned for me!!
@@EverydayShed thanks for clarification. I have facia and drip edge installed now. Shingles next
LP states shed windows should be attached to 2X4 frame, not over the Smart Siding.
And if you are using the common LP Smart Siding 38 Series that is sold in Home Depot as per the link here you have to use double nailing on on combined seams, not single nail as shown here.
Blah blah, works fine either way, I’ve done both ways for many years, doesn’t matter trouble maker.
@@MegaTapdogSo repeating INSTRUCTIONS from the actual MANUFACTURER of the product is being a "trouble maker"... got it.
Good point.
Why not use a ridge board for your rafters?
It is a different design, this one is cheaper and faster. I do have a plan to make a video comparing both for pros and cons... Thanks for watching.
Why not use a ridge board? Any difference?
It's more for simplicity. We will continue to put out more videos with different designs. Using a ridge board is one of them. Thanks for watching.
what size trim are you using to cover those end of rafters ?
1x6, really pricey in my opinion. 😢check out our plans and materials list for more help.
@@EverydayShed thank you! do the drip edge goes flush with rafters or you leave some space for trim ?
Great build! How long are the wall studs?
92 and 5/8.. standard lumber size walls. Check out our plans
Thank you! Do you or anyone else know how to find out the maximum measurements in a state for a shed that is not taxed on property taxes?
Past a certain size you need to get a permit in most towns
There are few things to consider and they do vary by jurisdiction. One is that being built on skids it makes them a "portable building" for my county, portable buildings are not taxed. Also, if you add permanent utility like plumbing, then they can be taxed.
As far as size, same thing here, it varies, but for my county, anything less than 120sqft does not require permit. So we can build up to a 10x12 no problem.
Great Video, but why do you stagger to shingles like that and have all that overhang instead of staggering it to that the 3rd strip doesn't have overhang? Is that just a preference or function? I'm not familiar with building anything before.
is just for speed, once you have 6-7 rows stacked, it goes faster, you can for sure do only 2 at time. it's just a personal preference. Thanks for watching...
@@EverydayShed ah ok, thanks for the tip!
@@EverydayShed Another question for you, it looks like you were using a roofing nailer for the LP Smartside panels. Has that worked out well? Did you have to use a different kind of nail for siding as opposed to roofing?
HI. from where did you get 3,487 Can someone explain please?
Did you install a fascia board? If so, I think the tutorial is missing that part.
Yes, I missed recording the facia part. I am going to make a video just talking about facias. Thanks for watching.
The front door being closed on a slope tho 😬
Needs a ramp.
Yes, we will build a ramp eventually.
Nicely explained and done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
