😃 Thank you Raymond. Much appreceated. And thanks for watching 😁 👍
This series has been extremely useful for a jerk of all trades such as myself. Many thanks!
😁 Thanks very much. I hope it has been of some use 😁. If your anything like me, watching someone else doing something is the easiest way to learn. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Great binge-watch series Frank. Learnt a lot from seeing how you put it all together. Looks good too.
😁 Thanks Ben. Just trying to get a chance to edit the "making the doors" video. Hopefully in the next few days. Thanks again for the support Ben 😁👍
Really useful down to earth practical solution. Thanks
😁 Thank you Christopher. I'm glad it was of some help 😁👍. Thanks so much for watching 😁👍
That's a beautiful shed ❤
😁 Thanks very much Tom. It looks good and workes really well 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
Shed looks really smart Frank and a nice precise job on the roof too 👍🏻
😁 Thanks Phill 😁. Cant wait to get the time to finish it off 😁. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍.
Good work bud👍🏽
Those simple little finials really set it off!
😁 I agree James. Its little touches like that that can make all the difference 😁. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Gut erklärtes Video und gute Arbeit👍

well done young man
😁 Thanks Jim. Progress has been made 😁. But I think you will all be glad when its finished 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching Jim 😁👍
Wow, now that's a shed roof!!
😃 Almost a year on.... and it still isn't leaking 😆😆. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
I felt you did a great job Frank ! 😂 ✌ 👍 👍 or well I better felt off now ! 😂 ✌ kind regards Alexander the great scot ! 🙄 😂 ❤ 👍 👍
😆 Great Scot, its Alexander 😆. I "Felt" it went well. But some of it was a bit of a "Bitch-umen" 🤣🤣. But its OK.... I got it covered 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching Alexander 😁👍
THANKS
Enjoying all your video’s on this shed build, gives me great confidence to build mine, just wondering what make is the staple gun you were using for the membrane of the roof, would you recommend it?
😁 Hi Paresh, thanks so much for watching this series. Its a year on now and the shed is still solid and water tight 😁. The staple gun is a Stanley, I have had it for probably 10 years now and it still never misses a beat (as long as you use good staples), so yes I would highly recommend it 😁. Thanks again for watching 😁👍
Really enjoyed following along with this build frank but why did you not bring the shed a foot further over to give you more room at the rear of the shed?
😁 Hi Sandman. I did think about it, but the garden is quite small and we can't really afford to lose another 15 sq ft of the grass. And I still need to put some kind of path or steps in front of the doors. So its all a bit of a compromise 😒. But once I've done the back I won't need to see it again for a few years 😁. Thanks for watching 😁👍
Hey, long time no see i see your working on a shed im a builder to in learning i guess but i suggest putting planks up in the roof so its more stable so you can make a small attic if you want to store unwanted or later used tools and also good luck on your video's mate im cheerin you up until my last days
😁 Hi Blige, good suggestion. I may be using some of the space up in the eves for long term storage. I will figure that out when I start fitting out the inside 😁. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😁👍
Alright. 😃
Nice vid Frank. Silly question....how are you going to clad the back of the shed? It seems a little too tight to get down there! Is your neighbour the type who'll let you take the fence out to complete it? That seems about the only way.
😁 Well spotted Gaz. I still need to save up for some more material. I have used some of the old cladding from the old shed. I don't think it would be an issue working from there garden, but I should be able to do it from my side (if I loose a few more pounds 🤣😂). But I also have an issue with one of the posts... it is leaning in to my garden. If I can fix that it gives me more room 😁. Thanks for watching Gaz 😁👍
Looking good Frank 👍 if you don't mind me asking what are you going to use the shed for, second workshop? cheers mate 👍
😁 Hi Trevor, its mainly just a replacment for the old shed. But I am going to partition off about 5ft of the left hand side just for project wood storage. Hopefully that will then free up some workspace in my workshop... thats the plan anyway 😁. Thanks for watching 😁👍
@@frankslittleworkshop sounds like a great idea cheers mate 👍
That is a nice solid looking roof, top job. I’m just re-felting my summerhouse roof, do you just put the bitumen adhesive at the edges where you nail the felt? I watched another video where the guy literally painted it all over his roof before adding the felt 🤔
😃 Hi Alice, you can do it either way. But because I used the breathable membrane under the felt there was no reason to coat the entire roof. For me just doing the edges is more than sufficient. I hope that helps 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
Thank you Frank. Wish I’d seen your video before I started this, I’d have replaced the tongue and groove roof with some nice solid boards you can nail into anywhere!
I have a question for you, i add a shed to my existing shed which is 8 by 12 feet, and has a flat roof, and even i have done many roofing for myself, but this time by mistake i shingled the flat roof( wrong), now leaks, what do you think i can put on top the shingles maybe i fix the problem with minimum work and cost !?
😁 Hi PALANG, obviously I haven't seen what you have done but I DONT think covering over the shingles is a good idea. I think the best option is to remove the shingles and start again. If you just try and cover over the problem it will still be there and it will just cause you further problems. Start again and do a good job and it will save you time and money in the future. it may cost more initially but if you don't fix it you will end up buying a new shed. I hope that helps. And thanks very much for watching 😁👍
learnt alot from your vids so much so i embarked on a 10 x 12 foot monster. have your lugs been burning recently?
😃 Well done Tommo, I'm sure you will get it done in no time. Hopefully there is enough info in my videos to at least get you up and running 😁. Good luck mate and thanks for watching 😁 👍
Just think how much easier it would have been if it was further from the fence and you were not trying to video it all for us. Your efforts are much appreciated.
😁 Thanks so much Dave. I'm sure a lot of people think we all have camera men and sound engineers and a whole post production video editing team to make videos.... the reality is just me and my phone 🤣🤣. If I didn't film the build I would have finished it weeks ago. But if it helps anyone with information or saves people some money by being able to do it themselves then I'll take that as a win 😁. Thanks so much for watching Dave 😁👍
Hey Frank, this might sound stupid, but when you were putting the fascia boards on the sides, how did you work out the angle to cut the two ends at? I'm going to be putting a little log shed up in the spring so trying to get my ducks in row.
😆 Hi ya, I just did a long reply... then realised I didn't even answer your question 😆😆. I would recommend getting a small angle measuring gauge, if your like me and are not a fan of trigonometry then that's your best friend. A simple plum line (a bit of string and a weight) will help you get a vertical line from the apex. So just hold up your facia board, drop your plum line, mark it off. It will be the same angle at the other end. I really hope that helps (because I didn't describe it very well 😆). Good luck and thanks for watching 😁 👍
@@frankslittleworkshop Thanks Frank!
Great work on the shed by the way 👌🙂
You must have knees of steel!
😆😆 Still picking grit out of them now 🤣🤣👍
What felt did you use Frank?
😁 I can't remember the make, but it was from Wickes. They had it in black or green. Its not the cheap rubbish that is thin and rips easily. It was a bit more expensive but so so much better. I hope that helped. Thanks for watching 😁👍
I'm about to felt my shed roof.The premium stuff in Wickes has acrylic in it and is less likely to rip. Costs about £60.@@frankslittleworkshop
@@TheBrusselsprout6000 😃 That sounds like the stuff. Its worth the extra cost 😁👍
Do those nails really self seal ??
🤔 I would say yes. They have been in for over a year already in some really wet weather (this is England after all 😆) and its still as dry as a bone 😁. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
Taking those screws out when you have to refurb the roof is gonna be so much fun. Dont do shit like this people... always think about the next person who'll repeat the job.
🤔 I have full consideration for the next person doing the job... because it will be me !! And I already know I can remove the screws.. because I have already tried. I never put a screw in unless I can get it out again. So I'm comfortable "doing shit like this"....
You don’t want to sunbathe up there too long or you’ll end up stuck. Some people struggle to point to stuff on camera but you just casually put your finger bang on target just another skill.
😂😂 I was so pleased with myself that I didn't get the "sticky black ick" everywhere 🤣🤣🤣. Normally I find it later.... on the living room carpet 😂. It was so so hot that day up on the roof, a bit too hot... even for sun bathing 😁. Thanks so much for watching 😁👍
Don't fold felt underneath. Cut it flush with edge
Why not?
I'm here for topless neighbour at 2:30
🤣🤣🤣 I didn't even see that, even though I spent hours editing the video 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching James 😁👍
Now I’ve lost were I was!
2 tips for you, bit late now, 1, but you could use a chalk line, instead ofthe nail scribe, 2, use petrol to clean your hands and tool to get the tar off. Looking good by the way.
😁 Thanks Gary 😁. I did think about getting a chalk line and im sure it would have been perfect for the job. But I don't think I would use it again... not that that would normally stop me buying a new tool 🤣. Great tip with the petrol, but the only petrol i have at home is already mixed for my chainsaw. And my car is a diesel... don't think that would work very well 🤣🤣. Thanks so much for watching 😁👍
@@frankslittleworkshop any type of chemicals you get from crud oil will work, diesel, petrol, turpentine, white spirits, good to clean the paint brush out after you use the tar, petrol will brake down engine oil and clean it up to.
@@garrypalmer5014 🤔 I have to confess at this point, whenever I use this sealer with a brush. I always use an old cheap brush (from the pound shop) and then just throw it away afterwards. It saves so much clean up time as I always make more mess trying to clean up 🤣🤣👍
All looked good until you put nails down through it.
The fat felt/bitumen self seals.
