I'd like to have you build it for me considering your knowledge if possible
Home RenoVision DIY 1
Hey. just stumbled across your videos. Liking them so far. Ive got a question about the pent roof. I'm thinking about building a shed/Garage 20 x 16.5 ft (due to planning). Can i use this pent roof design on the 16.5ft span? if so, what size after would you recommend? Thanks
@@alasdairmorrison4443 - too wide. You would need an I-joist.
Thank you very much for everything you do and everything you are.
I still remember the day when my dad saw my first power tools (I bought 4 at once) “do you know how to use them?”
I said “No! But I will learn”
he was stunned by my response, I don’t remember him doing any diy and more so I don’t remember being taught how to fix something, anything… alcoholic, very abusive, physical and mental, a typical narcissist.
Today, 17years later, I’ve rebuilt the roofs for an extension, fitted floors, plumbing, some electrics.
I love dyi and I’m extremely grateful for people like yourself to which I look up to.
Many young men like myself, who never had any information, are very very grateful.
Thank you “diy dad of the Internet” 🤗
This man has amazing talent and is the best teacher
‘When you can do something overkill and cheap, you do it’. Best and wisest words I’ve heard in a while.
You are pretty awesome! It is a true gift to teach without talking down to us!
You should have so many more subscribers, your lessons are gold.....I am a woman and I am pretty sure I can build following your explanations,
The people who gave thumbs down to this videos are probably contractors who are angry that you are teaching people how to save money.
Agree totally! I am a woman too, and I renovate all my place to put for sale, thanks to guys like him.
This’s the best video! Easy to follow..Thank you for sharing...
Hi,
I know this series is 5+ yrs. since you posted it but, I'd still like to thank you for your VISUAL "show and teach". I am a 110% visual learner. I can't read/follow a manual/blueprint if my life depended on it. They somehow, bore me to near tears... That goes for nearly ALL aspects of my life... SHOW me something once or twice, and I can repeat it and sometimes even improve or tweak it to my liking...
I don't know how many manuals/blueprints/whatever I have sitting in drawers, still in their original plastic covers and not opened... Be it electronic, furniture build, etc. etc... Same when I was changing the head gaskets on my old 1976 V8 Pontiac as well as installing new valves... YES, I did buy the "book" on the model of the car I had but, only thing I read and made sure to follow, was the model number of the parts and the weight the valves were to be tightened. The rest of the descriptions were just messing with my brain and my own visual "picture" of how things were to look/be when finished. Yeah, it helped that all of my boyfriends up until then had been mechanics of one sort or other and I would always be required to help/hold whatever in place.
Building on to the porch of my house, no drawing/blueprint... Same with building/remodeling the attic into living space/bedrooms for the kids... Oh and yes, I am a woman and yes, I tend to drive most men crazy... LOL Heck, I wouldn't have it any other way!! 😁
Written down measurements? Yes... Have had a few friends come out over the years saying they wanted to help but, they left pretty soon since I didn't have a blueprint for them to follow. I have that blueprint visualized in my head. GO AWAY, I can do this myself... 🤯😁 No, I'm not ungrateful, it's just that if I do it myself, I get it done the way I WANT IT DONE... Yeah, unscrew, remeasure/cut and screw back again... That's just part of the game.
And yes, I use screws for EVERYTHING!! Same as with manuals/blueprints that drive me ape shit crazy... I can't even nail in a tack without bending it 6 ways from Sunday!! Plus, much easier if/when you have to remove something since, you kinda got it wrong the first time or, second time...
Anywho... I have now built my chicken coop, following MOST of your "series" of "How to build a shed"... Difference? since it's a chicken coop and it's up off the ground about 2 feet, I have a wood/plywood floor, covered in thick vinyl flooring mat, that goes up the sides about 6 inches. Easier to keep clean. Other than that, just good grade insulation in walls, floor and ceiling. (followed your "deck building/shed" upload for that) For the electrical, I followed your upload on the "temporary" electric installment, just added inner plastic tubing that the cables go through since I felt it would be safer for the chickens and also since I have inner walls, much easier if I have to redraw the wiring for whatever reason... Plus added corrugated metal roofing, along with a water catchment system...
I used to live very rural off grid in mid BC Canada for about 5 yrs but, came back to Sweden a few years ago to be closer to my adult kids. So, yep, I know what winters and a heck of a lot of snow can do to a roof...
Anyhow, IF you did manage to get through this whole "novel"...
Thanks once again!!

This is an absolutely great DIY video with tremendous amounts of detail explained in laymen’s terms. Big fan, keep up the great work, I’ve learned a great deal tonight.
One thing I really love about this type of roof is that, if you can face the door north, that means your entire roof is exposed south, which means you can install solar panels over the whole thing and have POWER in your shed without running a power line. Should at least be enough power to run a couple of LED lights inside as well as charge up your tool batteries.
That may be a solution down the road. Cheers!
Quality video. At last a video that doesn't insist on perfection for the general homeowner building a shed. This video will massively encourage homeowners to have a go at building at home and give massive satisfaction
With something like this, if it looks right, it is right 😉
Hey - I'm a 75 YO woman that doesn't do woodworking or building of anything. Even I found this very interesting and learned so much. You constantly added tips that increase a persons efficiency and ability to work alone. Well Done! Had to subscribe to see what else you have. Thanks.
We built our shed after watching your video. We did afew things a little different but you definitely gave us the confidence to build it! Thank you!
Love watching you. Makes things so much more understandable. Wish this was 20 years ago, I would run and and start a shed now. Lol
We might be two years apart on this but I was thinking the very same thing.
I really like how you know what mistakes I'm going to make before I make them. Then you explain why not to do it the wrong way. It really ensures that people will do it right when they know the why.
I used your trick of using the actual factory cut plywood to finish squaring up the frame and it worked like a charm. Really appreciate your video. Thank you!
Love the simplicity of the build as well as the instructions and explanations. Looking forward to my summertime 10' x 20' garage project because of this video. Many Thanks! Subscribed!!!
Wow another brother from a different mother. Excellent video thank you
Great project. I built a storage shed about 25 years ago using the same method except I used 2x6 for the roof rafters. At first I had rolled roofing but 2 years ago recovered it with metal roofing and had to cut the bottom part of the OSB because the grass wicked up water and rotted out the bottom of the OSB. I replaced just the bottom section with 1 James harding piece of siding and dug a trench to cut out the grass, filled it with small gravel and garden brick on top so the grass would not grow back.
Good day my friend, thanks for sharing your knowledge, God bless you and your family and business. Keep on doing the great work!
I have never, I repeat NEVER watched an hour long video on how to build a shed.
But I am so glad I watched this one!
Just got into woodworking,went mad and bought loads of power tools then realized I have nowhere to store them?
Well, within an hour i also learned how to build a perfect shed to store those tools :)
I love the fact that the way you built it is not perfect or within the "norm", but dam it looks just as good if you had.
And you made the video so easy to watch with your humor and well explained steps.
New sub from me,and well deserved.
Thanks. I learned a lot and watched the whole hour without losing interest at any point. Other videos on similar projects had me sleeping in 5 mins.
Very well done video wise. Lots of good information with explanations versus unnecessary filler stories and off topic distractions. This is a great "how to" video that moves along at a pace that is lively without rushing. There are many building points that are explained clearly which in other videos I have to search the net for to clear up. I've bookmarked it and will have to watch it a number of times as there is a lot of practical good information in it. Thanks.
Really enjoyed your How to build a shed video, thank you Tim , UK
I'm about to start a tapered roof shed build and am pretty good but have learnt so much from this. Just goes to prove there's more than one way to do a job. Some great tips I'l be using. In particular to way to determine the angle cut for the joists. Excellent and thank you
I like the way this guy teaches and thinks: practical. Not hung up on the technicalities, but efficient and easy to follow. Thanks, great series of videos!
happy to help. Cheers!
Jeff’s my man 😊 I liked how you had the roof edge board be able to slide snuggly into place .
I like the dyi metal bender
Seriously...as a Maine girl who grew up building stuff (like our house) with her dad (but not paying enough attention) your videos are giving me the confidence that I can do this. I've bought a little piece of land on a lake and can't put a real cabin on it yet but will need a shed, even while we are tenting. The pre-fab ones seem not worth the money and this series has sealed the deal for me. Had I not already subscribed, the Red Green reference would have put me over the edge. I wish we were a little more "Canadian" here south of the border. 😁
i have learned a lot by watching your videos, i like the short cuts and different ways of doing things on projects.
You're so entertaining. I'm making a greenhouse with a polycarbonate roof, so this helps tons. It gets HOT in this summer desert area (NW AZ) so I have real windows with screens, and vents with screens on the high since of the front that I can open or shut, then your chipboard 2' to 3' from the bottom, and south side of the project is all multi-layer 1/4" polycarbonate sheeting above the 2-foot level. You've helped a lot, and building it in 90 degrees isn't fun. It helps to learn from a pro that's FUN to learn from! We have only 1 month of San Diego weather in between HOT and COLD here, and 1 day a year of snow. So I still want to be able to grow a small avocado tree in my greenhouse! I'm 74 so I take my time.
I would like to say thank you Jeff! from the bottom of my heart. I am working as a building maintenance tech 2 and planning to have remodeling classes for my future own business but I felt already went miles away with your all 101 free courses Lol. I wish you are hear in MD to work with you. Amazing engineering lesson Thank you again.
Great video and very informative. You did a great job and it will be very helpful on my project next week. You spoke clearly and took the time to review in detail each step. Well done. Thank you.
This is the most clever DIY roof I ever seen
Oh, I loved this. Thanks. It's the solution I was looking for. Also, I love your voice and sense of humour, so it was a pleasant watch.
Thank you for your many videos. I have enjoyed many of them and am currently watching the shed series. I have a question about the roof rafters. You are not using "bird Mouth" cuts. Is the roof stabile without them? Thanks for all your hard work.
No he is not cutting bird's mouth. I would use hurricane ties in this case to give it stability he doesn't mention if he did or not. I would do hurricane ties even if I did cut bird's mouth because with a big overhang that is how wind blows a roof off the house. It gets under the overhang and if you have a large area for the wind to catch, goodbye roof, it needs to be held in place well.
I love how this guy makes look and explains things so simple.
because building a shed is simple dummy...how else can he explain it. Oh wait I forgot he went to shed building school for 4 years then another 2 for his masters in framing and 3rd grade math....oh the comnplexity and IQ level it takes to build a shed is beyond genius.
@@kickassclone75 Your name clown suits you
Good video, you did a great job showing and explaining what you were doing. I like what you did with the roof, wish I could have done that on mine.
Found this by accident and thought I would see how much I did the hard way or wrong way when I built my shed about five years ago. I'll share what I did in case one day you might benefit from what I did.
Mine is 12 x 20, I needed lots of storage for camping gear since our church has a large youth group. I am the guy who hauls the big shelters, several tents, and all the kitchen equipment. So, I needed the 12 x 20 and it is almost full already.
I had trouble with ground hogs tunneling under two smaller sheds which sat on cement pads. The varmints knocked out the dirt under the cement pads and let the floor sag. So I built this one up on blocks in the hope of keeping them away. The eight foot high wall is ten feet off the ground and the 12 foot side is 14 feet off the ground.
The floor joists sit on cement pads and blocks with treated 2 x 6 lumber on the outside frame. The deck is 3/4 in OSB which I sprayed on both sides with waterproofing. I couldn't justify the cost of treated plywood on the floor.
I built the 12 foot walls in four foot sections and secured them with lumber fastened to 2 x 4 pounded into the ground. That gave me something to fasten the longer walls to. I screwed the plywood to the walls before lifting them since I didn't want to be fastening plywood to the wall off a ladder plus that held the walls in square.
I used my garden tractor to push the eight foot walls up and hold them while I got them level. I fastened 2 x 4s to the hitch and bolted the other end to the wall on pieces of scrap 2 x 4 so it could pivot. I had to invent something since I was working by myself 95% of the time. I used the tractor again to pull the plywood on the roof by building a ramp and pinching rope to the 1/2 inch sheets with pieces of 2 x 4 I screwed down. I thought about the rolled roofing, it goes on fast but I was 70 years old at the time and didn't want to have to go back up there in four or five years. I chose 30 year shingles so they will probably outlast me.
I went 16 inch centers all around and used 2 x 6 for the rafters. I used metal brackets to fasten the roof rafters to the wall because they are more secure than toe nailing, and we sometimes get some nasty wind from the southeast. Almost forgot, I used screws all around like you did, even on the roof. I think they hold a lot better. The guy at the lumber yard recommended using metal clips on the plywood. They do two things. One if placed between the rafters, they help prevent the sheets from warping and causing bulges on the roof. Two, they act as a1/8 inch spacer to allow for expansion and contraction. I live in WI so the temperature can change from 95 in summer to 25 below in winter. The doors are just sheets of plywood cut down to make two 36 in wide doors that swing outward. I chose to stain the whole thing and used 1 x 3 pieces to cover all the gaps between the sheets and on the corners. I have a 12 inch overhang on all four sides to help keep water off the walls.
I used oil stain applied with a roller when the plywood was laying on 2 x 4s in the yard. Went fast and no expense for siding. I hope someone can benefit from what I shared, if it saves just one person a few hours of labor it will make me feel delighted.
After trawling through videos I found this one is by far the most simple method and will be using it !!
Jeff, I am building a small second story 8x10 deck by myself and watching you do this alone makes me chuckle. This channel is the best. So many good tips
Have fun with that build. Always keep your but facing the building. Cheers!
Jeff you're the Bob Ross of construction! I've watched your shed build video multiple times. I'm building a 12x20 shed at my house and your input has helped immensely. The way you describe everything is very easy to digest and I recommend your page to all my friends renovating their homes. " I'm a big boy and I know what a 1/4" looks like." LOL
Good luck lol
I've watched up to this point so far and I swear I got a Red Green vibe from Jeff. It was made all the stronger with the Red Green quote!
I've watched a lot of shed videos and your system is so easy brilliant techniques. I always say a smart man is a lazy man and your systems are easy to follow and you can even do it by yourself thank you for sharing this
I usually view the simple things as ingenious. Brilliance, on the other hand, is designing a hip roof for an old workshop replacement at three times the cost. Apart from facetiousness, thanks much for the great idea! You must be a genius!
Yeah. Like I'm learning to do this, watching dozens of videos. Watched many explaining how to attach joists to the posts coming up from the ground (I'll be putting mine on posts, not skids). All the smart videos do a simple, elegant way: Notch the post, set the joists in, bolt it in. Then later I see some guy sandwiching the posts between two joists, making braces, etc etc etc. All just complicated silliness. I'm thinking "What are you going to do when it's time to renovate years down the line?" Simple elegance is the way.
But one lesson I learned (or reinforced) is watch a LOT of videos. Don't just watch one and think "This guy looks confident. I'll do it his way" because that video may be the bad way. If you see 20 videos and 18 are all doing it one way with a good explanation for as to why, do it that way.
Awesome job on the shed building series. Gonna use a lot of your info on my 12 x 20 lean-to shed. But what really got me hooked was the Red Green quote. Anybody that can do that on the fly is all right in my book. Keep up the good work!
At least they find me handy! Cheers!
How did your build work out? How did your attach the roof to the walls?
I am so impressed with what you doing and how you explain things in detail. Real teacher! I learned a lot and I will make it my future business. Thank you !!!!!
I appreciate the one person job tips. Wide tolerances is awesome too.
Thank you, I am glad I found this video. I wish I could have seen “how “ the metal drip edge went in (after you scored it, and bent it). Dummy here, I am trying to watch it all. I am going to try to build my own shed (🤣) you can laugh, because I am as well! You are correct when you stated the bow stores sell them, but they are junk and $$$ ! So I decided yesterday , that I am building my own and I had planned on doing a lean-to roof as well.. ya wanna come here and teach me!! I’ll take all the help I can get!! The shed looks wonderful, you’re were very helpful!! Thanks so much!!!
You really rock Jeff! Thanks for the many great tips for working alone. I love the way you cut through the bull and get the job done right. Wishing you continued success. You are really helping us so much. Keep on rocking brother. Bravo in every way!
Thank you very much. we have a lot of great content and plans for this year. Cheers!
Cheers!
Working on building a little shed and covering my deck. Thanks for helping with all the hints... enjoyed watching you work.
Good luck! Cheers!
Thanks for another great video! I learn so much. From you! I have a tip you may not know.. I iron on my saw horses, and saw on my ironing boards. Get at least 4 ironing boards(nobody irons any more, so you can pick them up at thrift stores, or beside the road). They stop exactly where you want them to, hold quite a bit of weight.. perfect for long trim, and store easily. I iron edge banding on plywood on my sawhorses. 😃😊
OMG, thanks for this video. I want to build a she-shed just for an art studio. I live in a mid-west state located in the USA, but it gets cold here and the weather can be unpredictable at times. This design would be prefect since I don't have a lot of yard space and I can build it slightly bigger if I want, so this is perfect for my needs. I little insulation inside along with wall board, add an electrical line for plugs and some heat and windows I can paint all winter in my own space. Thanks for your knowledge and guidance and for showing me and others that with a little effort this can be done.
Very cool, insulate and heat and enjoy. Cheers!
Did you ever complete this studio? I am in the middle of such a build. Any feedback on how it went would be appreciated, especially as it relates to the electrical lines and the heat source used. Thanks.
Awesome. He's slightly outta' breath all the time; makes little mistakes; doesn't worry about the little stuff and gets it done using a minimum of tools. Same way I do my stuff. These crazy Canucks.
Thanks Jeff I'm planning to build a summer house with over hang this has been absolutely God send
I learned a lot of great pro tips. Thank you for filming this job.
This is really a great idea; especially for a shed. After scoring the sheet metal it is easier to "break" it if you bend away from the score, not over the score.
He did, if you noticed the aluminium has been flipped over!
Thanks! I’m about to move onto the roof build on my shed. I’m a first-time shed builder and this video is incredibly helpful! Warm regards from Whitehorse, Yukon.
Cheers Fawn, Happy to be of some help!
i remodel and flip houses here in Pittsburgh, PA (USA) and know all the building trades. i often like to watch DIY videos here on youtube to see if i can pick up time-saving or "best practices" tips. this video is very long but i enjoyed watching it. you did a very nice step by step explanation of "shed building 101" as you noted. i will look for another one of your videos to watch for entertainment - and learning. none of us are ever too "smart" not to "learn" something from someone else!
I love your channel, it's fun and informative. One thought though.. sheeting is like foreplay, it is an easier to keep going if you tongue the groove instead of fighting with it. It also gives you a groove to place a beater board against so you don't squish the tongue and have the cut parts out to get the sheets to come together.
Man, your videos are so well done. Excellent info...thanks for doing these!
Our pleasure. We love making them. Cheers!
Ok, I really enjoyed the video. It’s real, I can laugh on how many thing I do the same.
Again great video, wish you were in Hawaii to help me with some of my projects.
Thanks
Gary
Great job, I have a metal shed now but it’s rusting away, so I guess this will be my next DIY project
love it! You are such a good teacher. Even though I'm a female who doesn't build anything, when there is something interesting you're teaching I watch the whole vid. I started here, now to back back to watch how you built this shed, lol. Thanks!
Thanks for the awesome videos! I have a question on the details of where the roof rafters meet the top plate. Is it OK just to have the roof weight just resting on the edge of the rafters? do you not have to cut bird mouths or angle the top plates? thanks!
People of TH-cam, spread the word, this guy is great! Share his work!
yes please do that would be awesome.
I'm feeling inspired to tackle my own shed project after watching this! Thanks for the guidance! 🛠️
Just subscribe, its usually hard for me to understand when some ppl are explaining me something, but this guy makes it easy to get it!
Guided by your videos
I was able to build a new gardening shack so fast,
I nearly shed my plants
haaaaaaaaaa!
DEPENDS on what you had for lunch !!
Excellent beer drinking project, well coffee in the morning anyway.
If you play your cards right, could stretch it out through the weekend until Wednesday. That will keep the wife off your back!
Good job, nice tips!
You could even "throw your back out" and get a few days on the couch recovering. Cheers!
Great stuff man! Love the little tab on the hammer trick! Went out and welded one to my hammer, thanks!
Thanks Jeff. Great video. My wife thinks you're lovely and now we're ready to install our 140m2 roof on our shed.
Loved the Red Green reference, haven't seen that show in years!
I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan co.vers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
Brilliant video. I can bearly hammer straight but this has given me confidence to have a crack at a couple of tasks during lock down.
Nice Jeff . I'm a framer by trade and I just built a killer shed. Fence n partioned a garage . I use your drywall techniques from way back . I'm good at my trade . You are too . You simplify things . I tell peeps especially dyi peeps to check your channel out . Cheers
Have I missed apart how is the roof secured to the walls as those little blocks will be removed great video btw
Exactly what I’m here for too
@@steph1gilmour I figured it out. on the next part of the video, he used "hurricane ties" to secure the roof to the top plates.
@@pjaxy @ what minute mark. I can't seem to find it.
This channel is underappreciated
I believe time will fix that. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY time is wasted without hard work, and you're not wasting any. Keep doing what you do
We have plans of never stopping. Cheers!
I disagree, I appreciate it for what it is, and some.
And I’m training to do this sort of stuff for a living.
I get this channel is geared for DIYers, but if you’re just getting into the business, there are a lot of good tips here to help you learn your craft.
Thanks for the great content
I think it's appreciated by those have found it, more a case of under-discovered!
Just started putting a base in for mine, had the same sort of design in mind and this has helped so much. I hope to pick up a second hand patio doors set or french doors. I wll keep coming back to these tutorial vids, I've watched so many but these are the best, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY k
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’m planning to build a shed with an 8/12 pitch for solar panels and batteries.
Great Video. It looked like your drip edge is right up against the facia with no gap. You can slide your fingers behind it to create the gap. The reason is surface tension. Water will wrap around the bottom of your drip edge and then fall to the ground. If there is no gap, it will wrap around the bottom and then grab your facia making your water diversion system less effective.
interesting. I will consider this when finishing. Cheers!
Quote of the year! "If they don't find you handsome, then they better find you handy!!!"
😂😂😂😂😂 fantastic 😂😂
River dance hahaha, great DIY video, nice presentation...Thank you!
I did my roof just like yours thanks you are awesome!! My shed is my office while I build my house.
Gotta love those safety squints :)
Yes, they are really reliable against saw dust and small debris! Cheers!
Agreed - and don't forget the big stuff that can't fit between the eyelashes lol
AvE Fan?
AvE subscriber?
Sawing "in the air", is great too
Hi. I must of missed something. I don't remember seeing you fix the rafters to the frames. cheers
Me too. I mean, I saw a couple screws, but... what's to hold that roof in place if a strong wind puts a little lifting power under that nice overhang?
@@austenhead5303 on the next part of the shed build video, he shows how they used "hurricane ties" to secure the roof to the top plates
I'm looking to build an offgrid house. And need a shed and outhouse. Loving this design. Thanks. Could be building this "building" soon. Lol😉
I like this guy. Quick and easy.
Once I got my OCD under control I found this video to be fantastic! BTW, the best line of all during the video was "A screw a day keeps the doctor away." ;)
I just watched all these shed videos. You just got a new subscriber my friend! Well filmed, well presented
Awesome video! I now feel I can fully build a good shed. Thank you!
Superb workmanship and video. Very helpful.
“Bur-rilliant!” My fave part! 😀
Mine too! Cheers Sandra!

How is this roof handles in areas with heavy snow in winter?
"Activate our safety squints"...LMFAO... epic
Watching from Ireland, love it, easy listening, and some great tips great stuff .
I saw where you blocked and squared the roof using temporary blocks. But I never saw where you screwed the entire roofing frame down to the walls. Am I missing a step somewhere?
That's what I was expecting and now I am confused as well. The roof sittng on top of the box frame with 3 temporary screws?
Okay. I found the answer from other comments from Jeff.
"We used hurricane ties to secure the roof."
Maybe not filmed or editted out but hurricane ties were used to secure the roof.
Close is fine in this situation 😌. As long as it's lifting, you're good.
What the actual hell is he talking about? So you just lay a 2x4 the flat way to carry a load from two rafters. Than just guess your way through with blocks.
I would kick you off my job with my boot 👢
@@ohiofarmer5918 if you’re really the expert you claim to be. Why are you watching shed building for beginners? Sounds to me like you sit in the truck while your crew listens to your air conditioning turn on and off.
I thought the same thing. He never did attach the roof to the walls. However, I think they make brackets that will work.
@@davidlundey7292 I don't consider myself an expert at all. I did teach both juniors beginning layout and framing and did construct a house when I taught seniors. The foundation of the house was a half inch wider at one end than the other end. It was a full two stories high, so we moved one end of the house inward an eighth of an inch tighter per floor and a quarter inch total. We made the other end of the house a quarter of an inch looser. By moving each wall plate only an eighth of an inch shorter or longer we made up the error of a half inch.
We cut each rafter precisely the same and finished the birds mouth with a hand saw so as not to lose any strength. When we got all the rafters up, all that was needed was three shims made from tar paper to keep the frame tight..
The strength of a build is very much dependent on nice fit between framing components. So build what you want how you want. Better yet, take a break and sit in your own truck and think about doing the best you know how. You will derive pleasure from good workmanship and maybe someday derive satisfaction from passing something you learn the hard way to a young person eager to learn
Never heard of "Safety Squints" before. I'm stealing that one :-)
Excellent video as always.
I am blessed with thick eye lashes. Keeps out the bugs. Cheers!
watch youtuber AvE. you'll learn a whole new language lol
I believe AvE was the one that popularized it via his followers on TH-cam (me included) but after ~45 yrs in commercial/industrial construction and a loooong stint as a Provincial Electrical Safety Officer) I had heard it used several times over the years... mostly by welders helpers!!! (Ps: I have the AvE ‘Engage Safety Squints’ tshirt) pps: Welcome to Kanuckistan, long live the Robertson screws!
I watched this video several times all the way through and it made it easier to build the roof for the shed i built, thank you for the video, you did a great job and like your giggles
Glad it helped! Cheers Lisa!
I used your shed template and built mine. I absolutely love it. Thank you for all the advice you give on your channel! Can I send you some pictures of my shed?
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some dece.nt things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
I'm a middle class guy who needs a new shed. I love this so much better than the Toronto shows that use the most expensive materials and require the highest skill level. Presented by a failed actor who never sweats or gets dirty in multi camera colour corrected 4K. I don't learn anything from those.
It had to be an Ottawa guy to make a video where costs matter. You distilled a decade of experience to make the complex simple and accessible. You even allowed yourself to make the project imperfectly. You totally show up those TO guys. Their videos now look like vanity projects pretending to be how to videos.
No Fancy production costs here. Just real life on a real site. Cheers!
I'm not even Canadian and I hate those Toronto guys now.
Channels like this is for us everyday kind of people. Easy to follow and all you need is basic tools, safety squints optional... Another channel you might like that is similar to this one is "Country Life Projects & Living".
Thanks for taking the time to put content like this out there.
this is the shed my husband got amzn.to/2yTkeUq
now I want to watch that Toronto show just for a laugh!
My man, I have some constructive criticism to share with you. Please bare in mind, I very much appreciate the work you put into not only the project, but the time taken to film if you will, your process.
I started the trade in the later 80's. I learned from old school guys. Men that sawed off most of my hammer because I wasn't holding it properly, lololol. They were brutal in how they taught me. This is a lost art, and it is an art! They made sure I didn't forget it. The work ethic combined with the work ethic, combined with the work ethic, after year's, taught me!
Again, no harm intended!! I sincerely mean this.
This was a great basic way of teaching your audience about the speed square, or the framing square. You almost had it. In my opinion, you missed the opportunity of the "WHY." You took too many shortcuts, without explaining the "how".
You were right there with the square. Rise and run... you missed this opportunity for your audience. No birds mouths, to lock in the rafters to the plates. A D.I.Y. should at least begin to know the "what", and the "why". It almost seems like I just watched "common core" math or something. What you did, I guess works. The shortcuts and attention to detail and the "WHY", was non existent. Again, I mean no harm, I appreciate the "how" of what you did. I can appreciate it because I understand what and why you did this. But for the audience, to me, your teaching "common core" carpentry! If I didn't say anything here, my predecessors would probably cut my tongue instead of just the unused handle of my hammer.
Please keep this in mind. Your audience is much smarter than you might think.
Thank you though, sincerely!!!!!!! david, 38 yr. Carpenter, aspiring woodworker, with a whole world of knowledge and technique still for me to learn. God bless you!
Thank you for this video, we are making a horse barn tomorrow and we needed to watch this because this is exactly how we are making the roof. Our girl horse is having a baby tonight too, we think, God Bless you
Very Educational …. Thank You !!!
Always searching for knowledge and you definitely provided much insight.
