I'm a 68 yo woman, I have built a few small things, mostly cabinets, shelves things of that sort. I'm tired of digging my truck out of the snow and am going to attempt this, by myself as I could never afford what people ask for around here. I have watched a ton of videos, this one is most like what I have in mind...wish me luck!!!!!!
@@jackdotblue thank you for the offer! I got it done with the help of another like minded person, it came out great and made it through the winter here in the western mountain area of Maine. It's not easy to find people who want to help you for the sake of helping.😊 have a great day hope you don't get too nailed in that 10 feet of snow that's about to hit your area!
That was me! Been my motto for ten or so years now. I have done my share of hard work, but at nearly 74, I done got too old and fat to do more than offer encouragement from the sidelines.
The "A Team" is back!!!! I was so delighted to see Howard! I can only imagine the 2 of you chatting together...."we don't need any laser level or slide rule! Hatchet, chainsaw and tape = JOB DONE!!!💪💪💪

Mr Green Jeans, that was one of your best start to finish builds. It came out really nice. A lot less stress than your earlier builds over on your land.
Dang, this video is chock-full of great techniques and tips, thanks for sharing. And +1 for not editing out the do-overs - it's all part of documenting the process. Helps us viewers with our own approach to our projects.
This guy don't give up! If it's wrong, He fixes it. If it don't work, He figures a way and will power His way thru it! Kudos, you are destined to success! Thanks so much for sharing.
Really love seeing your homestead come together. I have an LT15-Wide that I bought thanks to Inspiration from you and Nathan at OTW, but no land to build anything yet. Really looking forward to when I have that space to build, will be coming back to your videos for more inspiration!
First off, I'm stealing "If there's anything I can say to help y'all, just let me know." I love it! Awesome job on the build! We are going to be building a similar covered storage area, so your video was very helpful. It definitely gave us good pointers. Lastly, great job with the post hole digger! I was using one today, and it was not enjoyable. I'm very thankful it wasn't 100+ degrees out! Thanks a ton!
An added note that may help you. An added feature that helps lateral stability. Wait and cut the posts off flush with the top of the rafters. Secure the rafters to each post etc..
Yep, every time I find some scrap tin roofing, I build a carport. ;) Great video, very fun to watch. I appreciated the scenes of livestock and that you showed when you made a mistake.
This is a very cool build and excellent camera work! I am going to up my camera work. I really enjoyed this build, and hopefully, I will be building at least one like this on my homestead on the first of next year! Thanks again for making this video, and may God bless your days the way He always blesses ours!
I've watched many of your videos where you build something like this, and I am glad to see you finally got to use a PTO auger. If it were me, I'd buy one before I used those manual post-hole diggers. Great work, and thanks for sharing your adventures.
I thought of you the other day when a guy told me that I would not need so many power tools if I joined a gym & got more exercise. I think I will follow your methods instead of joining a gym.
For anyone in the future heres a tip i discovered when digging your holes with an auger. The auger can spin off the desired location so its hard to get it to fit your desired layout. After you do your 3 4 5 drive a big nail or rebar for the center of each hole, checking diagonals per usual. Then take your shovel and dig a concave hole about 4 to 5 inches deep in the center. This will help hold the auger in place to start your hole. A lot more accurate so less hand work.
Awesome job you guys did, that shed will be there longer than you will live. I built a barn the same way. Treated post in the ground rough cut lumber and tin roof, that was almost 40 yrs ago. Still standing strong, I live in WV have seen 3 ft of snow on it. Thanks for the video.
Nice one Wes! Some nice cattle there too. Like you say, easy enough to do, providing you have access to the Lumber & Roofing sheets. The cost of both here lately is horrendous. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Nice job! It’s nice when a project doesn’t cost as much as it typically would…..eventually I’d put walls on the 3 sides to help with protection of equipment! I just got done building a steel 20x10 shed from an old round tube framed canvas style car port….did a concrete slab and used some lumber I already had to reinforce and add furring strips to it….had to buy the steal and additional lumber but it wasn’t bad. Have a total of 2k Into. Not bad considering a local shed builder wants 5k for the same size shed with a wood floor.
Nice work buddy. I love doing work like that. I wish I could travel the states and make a nice living. Load up my truck and just build sheds, car ports and those cedar play sets for kids for a living.
I know it's not the right way,but on small shes like that I'll frame the smaller sides on the ground and dig 2 holes and stand up one side and get it plumb. Then I'd measure off that to determine where my other 2 holes need to be. Dig those 2 and stand that wall up and get it plumb. Connect my 2 long sides boards. Like I said,I know it's not proper,just works for me. It's a shed after all, not the space shuttle.🤗
You mean you didn’t have anything to do with the space shuttle challenger? Your not taking any credit for that one 😂 No insult intended, just when you mention space shuttle challenger popped in my mind. Which I still remember a few jokes that stemmed from that disaster too! In poor taste obviously, but as one comedian once said. As long as you can get one person to laugh then it’s alright to say! Although I bet there’s some judges that won’t agree with that! 🤪
That was a great video and great to see Howard again!....for a hot second I thought those were the strangest secada sounds I had ever heard. Then it dawned on me that it had to have been the drone. 🤣 I hope it was the drone!!
Hey man you did good and it worked out well 👍 we are not building pianos right...What I always do for me is simple batter boards with my string line's and marker paint perfect every time...That's Awesome you got a portable Mill wish I had one I'm looking into one though the wife don't know hehehe 😀
I enjoyed it ! It’s amazing how many hours this amazing building takes. It’s a lot of work and material. Im working on a mudroom that’s small. And tryi g to figure out cheap easy way to build it. 2x4 frame seems over kill. Thinking 6 4x4 posts make a box. It’s only 7.5x13. Have some reclaimed metal as well. Then I have logs to uses for other stuff.
Nice build. Sturdy for sure. I redid a hole too. Glad you could reuse the metal roof pieces. Every little bit helps. Quick question. I know you check the level horizontally. Did you check the level of the beams vertically too? I saw the level leaning on a post elsewhere. I know putting in horse fence with posts and run in sheds, and barn build, we had to do that even with nailing the top runner pieces along the top initially, to keep it straight. Just to keep it within 1/4" from straight on corners. Didn't want it off bad from posts not close.
