Where are your hurricane straps? Is it earthquake proof? What about volcanoes? Can it withstand an Independence Day style alien attack? Is it rated to survive the pompousness of teenage Swedish environmentalists?
In a hurricane event I would cover the open structure with plywood, and strap (using air conditioning hanging strap gauge 22 or whatever there's available in a Distributor or anywhere anyone sells it) the roof to the poles and it won't or shouldn't go no where. I don't know how you're planning to do it but I probably paint mine with polyethylene white a good 3 times to start and review it every year or twice a year to see if it'll need a good coat.
I'm not a nasty person, nor do I make a habit of commenting in a negative way on Utube videos. So I apologize in advance for this comment. But I find it fascinating how some people seem to do things the hard way. My wife is definitely one of those. On a positive note, I do admire your tenacity.
I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package ru-vid.comUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
I love your white and black cat. About 15 years ago we found a small kitten along an e-way entrance ramp near Cedar Springs, MI. We named him Casey. As he grew the white-black pattern emerged. Casey never purred, yet a great cat. We lost him one night when he never came home. Locally here in Muskegon, MI we occasionally see another "Casey" wandering around so that it must be a breed of cat. Have fun with your cat and your young son will play with the cat too.
Roll on young man your a OMT AKA ONE MAN TEAM making it happen raising a family be proud of your work I'm sure your bubbies be by to help move those heavy saw cut boards to back of their pickup lol
They do indeed grow up fast,, my son is 13 now oh boy I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday,,,,Time really goes quickly.. Great video 👌👌👌
For a time-sensitive project, especially after you explained your work-schedule, I was expecting a powered roto-drill to get those post holes done quickly. Big respect for doing them the old fashioned way. Been watching your log-sawing vids for a while, saw these ones on your shed and decided to check them out. Congrats on what you are and what you have.
Fall Line Ridge your Son is soo adorable and he just smiled soo sweet seeing him just made my day. I like your style man building a shed real nice work putting it together looks real nice going to be real useful. The cedar wood you are going to use on it will be real nice I love cedar it smells soo good and is soo pretty. Thank for the nice video be blessed with loving care and grace.
Nice job on setting those poles with the tractor. Please cut a flat on each side of the posts and put tie plates on all of them to keep your beams from rolling. those screws and gravity won't be enough. Good help is hard to find. lol
Geoffrey Kail, I thought about telling him to install like 4"x4" steel angulars of a 1/4 thickness on both sides under the union of the beams and top of columns as well. That way the beams have additional 4" under them to support over the columns. He'll see our comments, and maybe do it after confirming if is good and convenient overbuilding for longer lasting support and durability! Thank you!
future reference--product called Secure Set--2 part epoxy available Home Depot--mix -pour-dry 30 minutes-better than concrete-expands into the side walls and is waterproof--several fence builder videos on You tube extolling its value--- price in or about concrete range-maybe a little more expensive but it works with very low labor cost and can be installed anywhere.anytime-rain .sleet.snow or sunshine--just offering what learned
Fall Line Ridge thanks for noticing my comment I meant every word and more I just love your videos they are always soo interesting and nice your Son the work you do and so on. Thanks for the nice video all be blessed with loving care and grace.
Looking forward to the next video might I suggest you sit Your Dad and Howard down inside the new shed and tell us a bit more about your lives working together. I know I would be interested in hearing about the hard working lives yo alls led so far.
Man that looks like hard work with the shovel and post hole digger. I wish you were my neighbor. I would’ve been happy to bring the loader bucket and auger over to help with that project. That’d been fun.
Agreed, I am 62 years old, my dad taught me everything, and the will to build and learn. Built hunting cabins, barns, sheds, etc. I am still doing that stuff with the Ford 9N tractor that was my Grandfathers, new in 1939. Those of us who were lucky enough to do this with our fathers were blessed. He has been gone over 40 years now. Enjoyed the video.. That's a good looking Ford...sure would have put a post hole digger on it when I was digging those holes, but they turned out good.
Enjoyed watching your build. Your son looks just like you especially when he smiles. So he gave it a thumbs up after he was off screen (smile). Have a fine week. Full-watch.
Your little man looks just like you. The Bucket in Pops Tractor was very useful. You'll have room to come off the front later if you need more shelter . 👍
Hint. Get a trenching spade. About 5-6" wide. Use it to cut the sides of the hole. (IT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH LEVERAGE STRENGTH), so just cut the sides, and then use the post-hole digger to lift out the soil. We raise horses, so over the years, I've dug more holes than I care to think about. Also, if you're in sugar sand, start the hole, and dump some water in. You can't lift sand, but you can lift mud.
Little quick tip for post holes... permanently mark your depth on your post hole digger handles. It’ll save you a little time and effort in the long run. :) Keep on rockin, brother. Got it looking good.
As a Californian I sincerely hate watching your videos...first you built that amazing white oak countertop, now you construct this wood shed for the gods. Dude you are a surgeon with that tractor getting those posts in the ground. Love watching your builds, keep it up. Maybe one day soon, I'll move out of this backwards, overpriced state. Your property looks awesome man...keep it up.
Great video, can't wait to see the second half. It's good seeing junior, he is getting big! It was also good seeing Cricket running around haven't seen him for quite a while.
It’s to bad that I live up north. If I lived down south, I would be asking if you needed help building the pole barn, that’s what neighbors do. So far it looks awesome, keep up the great work and outstanding videos!
This project has been on my ToDo list for some time ... funny how that list always gets longer in the winter. Cant wait for spring to get started up here in Ontario, Canada. Enjoyed the video, keep it up.
I've always tried to figure out how to build a shed for my kids. I tried several plans but always got stuck along the way. I'm glad I found this Ryan's shed plans [ Go Here >>> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It has made the work become as easy and simple as I never thought it will be. Thank you Ryan!?
I think the one in the orange shirt and bald head might be the real carpenter..lol Great video looking forward to the completion of your new sawmill shed!
Looking good my friend!!! I bet that mill is looking forward to its new home! Our mill sat outside for so long that the orange turned more to a salmon-color!!!! LOL! We also created a millshed and life is good! I'm looking forward to watching Part II !
Another GREAT video! Interesting, entertaining, and informative! Thanks! I think it looks great. As mentioned before, I find the obvious 'hacks' of something homemade with 'what you have' much nicer to look at than a 'kit' or something with an unlimited budget can purchase. Structurally...it is way overbuilt which is also perfect! Scabbing a 2x4 on top of that beam when all it needs to hold is some snow...wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Thanks again!
Congratulations you have done really well all 3 of you to get that far, looks awesome. Anything that will help protect your investment is money and time well spent and this shed will be perfect and look forward to seeing more as work progress's. Just goes to show just 1 of things out of the 1001 things you can do with a tractor and front end loader, done it myself many times.
