In this video we'll be building a storage shed from the ground up using part of an old barn foundation. Hopefully you can pick up a lot of useful ideas of how to build a shed for yourself.
All these posts about contacting me for a prize.....they are scams! I'm doing my best to delete, block and remove them all, but they are NOT me. So far RU-vid hasn't taken care of this problem but it's not just this channel it seems to rampant.
They hit another contributor a month ago. I just saw a post from yet another contributors who just had it happen to her, just like you, in the past 24 hours. Hope it gets solved quickly for your channel. Take care of yourself.
I know it sounds silly that a RU-vid channel could change your life, but for me, this one did. Gave me the courage to journey into 3 acres, live out of a wall tent on the weekends and build a little cabin. (And yes, consequently we are very very fond of our wall tent and decided to keep it up) We have five young kids and we got it done. Finally getting that wood stove in. The memories my kids now have of cutting down trees and diggin outhouse holes and sitting by a firepit on their own land is precious. Dave, you (and your wife!) inspire me. I’ve always used your videos as a guide and as inspiration. What you and Brooke share matters- thank you
Not silly at all. I've learned so much about so many things from You Tube vids. I'm about to buy a 4 1/2 AC place in the country and look forward to utilizing much of this knowledge. Oh, and I'm 77 yrs old, so I better git on it. lol
Probably the best Ryan's ru-vid.comUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
I was so excited when I saw you uploaded another building video. There is nothing that makes me feel more relaxed and forget about my problems than your videos. Your narration and outlook is just fantastic. Thanks again, Dave!
I totally agree with this comment! Dave's videos are a time machine to when life was simpler. Seeing the results of a hard day's work is so satisfying, and Dave's narrating style is very soothing. This is one of my top 5 RU-vid channels. 🙌🏽
Your basic cabin video series inspired me to build a cabin in my backyard. I didn't do a few things like paint and some blocking and going back and doing it is quite a pain. I definitely learned my lesson. And just as you said in your other videos, everyone is going to make mistakes, don't let that stop you from trying something like this. There are some spots I screwed up but it's sturdy and we now have a cabin/workshop with a wood stove and camp in it on the weekends with the kids. Really enjoyable in the rain. Need to figure out a door for it though, interested to see what you put on this one.
@@EvolutionArchive23 I'll reply for him. A, they don't "fall apart in 3 years". Even log cabins built in upper Minnesota on log foundations with moss chinking last upwards of 60 years. Additionally Him & his family have been building, upgrading, selling, repeat- for their adult lives. Dave and a small cabin, to a larger one, to more property, to more properties, etc. Why do you sound like you're looking down on Dave for no good reason?
@@EvolutionArchive23 Does it do you well to be angry? He didn't use your money to build it. Mind your own business and move along. But, before you go.. Let's just say, whichever shed you happen to be standing in, you're not the not sharpest tool in the shed. Learn from this. I wish you well.
I've built two small buildings alone at our off grid place in Maine following your general methods. I am no carpenter and they came out great. Solid. Dry. No frills. Thanks for the very relevant things you share.
Yea he’s fun to watch and has great methods to building. Hey I’m in Maine. Where abouts is your place ? Generally speaking. I’m in central Maine and have a camp an hour north.
I know you put out a video about it but I still wish you would upload more frequently! Even on things I've done before I still feel like I learned a new trick and it always inspires me to keep doing things the way that I want to do them with what I have.
I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for showing us how to do the bird-mouth especially. I told my wife, if only I could do a bird-mouth, I could build a house pretty much. Well, thanks to you, I can do a bird-mouth. WOOOO HOOOO. Thanks again.
Sharing the simplest things, that you might not think we’re interested in watching you do, bring the biggest smiles to my face ! 😎😁. Thanks and take care Mr Whipple ! And oh yea that multi tool is an awesome invention and tool !
With your properties in Alaska and the upper and lower peninsula of Michigan I bet you almost never run out of projects lol. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Always love your narration, it’s poetic as if you’re narrating a novel! Your building skills is on point and you’re a natural with your voice! Thanks for sharing Dave
The real lesson I get from Dave is to slow down and enjoy the process as much as possible, which is safer as well. This seems to help me make fewer mistakes or at least be less upset about them. Striving for perfection will lead to futility.
Watch the black widows Dave! Happy to see ya, looking forward to your build, always very interesting and clear instruction! God bless Dave and Ms Brooke!❣️🙏🏼❣️
Bushradical is my favorite channel on RU-vid and Girl in the Woods is my wife's favourite channel on RU-vid. We love your guys' videos. They have been so inspirational and educational for us as I am learning how to build and we are building our little off-grid homestead up a mountain in the forest of the West Kootenays of British Columbia. Thank you so much Dave and Brooke for making these amazing and inspirational videos. As total newbies to building our off-grid homestead with no building experience, the process can be quite intimidating. These videos have served as a great lighthouse for us on our homestead building journey. God bless.
Could also use Brooke's oscillating multitool to finish out those birds mouth cuts. They should just rename them 'The Wonder Tool'. They make doing plunge and precision cuts super easy. Great vid. Also, on the wood ladders...not to paint with a broad brush, but I hate to say it, it's an old guy thing. For whatever reason, old guys seem to refuse to get rid of those crappy old wood ladders. I work in homes doing service work. Most of the ladders I have are used for outside. So, if possible, I use the customers ladders so I'm not dragging dirt into their houses. Never fails. You ask a guy and if he's older they almost always trot out some rickety, wobbly, piece of garbage wood ladder that's older than I am (51). lol. Nevermind. Dirty outside ladder it is.
The best narration in the RU-vid world! Love the clear panels to let in the light, great build Dave, and Brooke came through with the oscillating tool, Brooke to the rescue! Love y’all’s videos! Stay radical ehh? ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
I love this video. You were looking at building storage. I see a new tiny greenhouse in my future. I would just enclose the open area in some way, maybe with small windows. Then get some temperature activated arms to open and close. Line openings with screening material to help keep the bugs out. Put more poly panels on the roof and halfway up the walls. Might just add a little stove for cold winter nights. I am in southern Ohio, so less cold and snow. Not sure what to do with the floor since it would be subjected to water several months of the year. If I am real ambitious, I could add a small gutter on the back that drains into a couple of rainbarrels. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hey Dave! I enjoy all of your episodes ... but I especially enjoy the ones when you're building and narrating at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thanks!
So I know this is not what this channel is about but God do I love all the old garden tractors sitting around. I'm glad I'm not the only one who collects them.
Most excellent storage shed! Love the clear panels on the roof. It’s almost a tiny house if it was insulated. And of course a wood stove. Thanks for sharing this with us Dave!!
That "prize' garbage is a spammer......they just copy and paste your picture then try to direct you to some site....If you don't catch them early on you end up removing 50 of the same spam comment.
I like your videos, shows how to do things yourself. Same sorta thing I want to show with videos of the cars I build. I need a storage shed, and a two car garage for my summer drivers. Snow load is the hard part in the UP, gotta built it strong enough to hold the snow or it never makes it past December. I'll be doing this next year, probably without concrete. Have to work on my south side lean to this month. I can put the walls directly on the bedrock 2 feet down from the surface. Too bad I can't get you to stop by and give me a hand with it.. lol
Hi again Good to see ya Dave. Always get a tip or two from your inspiring vids. Always enjoy seeing how you and Brooke repurchase. Quite the creative duo! Nice save on that old location. Enjoy your new storage shed!
Thanks Dave for sharing your building knowledge. The information about Red headed anchor bolts are exactly what I needed for our carport build. We have an old concrete slab that we are using to rebuild a storage/carport/summer porch that we were trying to figure out how to make the walls. We were at a standstill and then I watched your new video and now we can move forward. I just had my husband watch it too so now he knows what we need to buy and how to do it. Super HUGE thank you!!
I really enjoy these building videos and when you talk over them. The tone of the voice makes it so easy to understand what you're saying and doing. Awesome job!!! Keep'em coming. Big fan!
That was great, Dave!! I get bits and pieces of the process every time you make one of these building videos & I thank you! God bless you & yours brother🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love your channel. Just a suggestion….you should consider a framing nailer. I have a Milwaukee cordless. I think you would be quiet happy once you have one,kind a like Brooks multi tool 😋👍
Hey Dave, I've been watching you for years and love the way you tell a story as you teach. I Moved off grid about a month ago in Northern Minnesota and are experiencing the things that your videos have covered. Keep up the great work and God bless you and your family!
Dave, we have built your T111 cabin which we currently use all year round while building our house, we also built your simplified outhouse which we constantly get compliments on. Really want to thank you for your KISS methods of building.
Always such simple designs and builds, always inspires, gives Me a great Idea on how to do My 12'x8' Laundry Shower Room on My Off Grid in Northern AZ.. keep these Build Videos coming.. Thanks for Sharing!.. 👍🤠
Hey sir!! Love your videos!! I’m currently starting my own homestead and you’ve been a big motivation to me. Currently the “cabin” I’m building is a 10x12 with a lean roof like this. My trade is carpentry, although I started as a framer. I’m currently 21 and looking to fully Develop this land to be my families paradise. Thank you for all your videos and words of wisdom!
I was hired about 10 years ago to reseal a auto parts store roof with a aluminum reflecting seal , about 20' high , I had to use a 24' extension ladder, while I was up there the wind picked up , blew the ladder into the parking lot, there was nothing to tie it off to . My phone was in the car , I had to jump into a spruce about 8' from the roof and climb down , cut my stomach up a bit , you know I didn't fall , because I am writing this today 😬 , love the building, you never come short of great work , and I always learn something 💯🍻✌️
I was just waiting for a video from you! I love your channel and it inspires me alot when building. I actually learned most of my basic building skills from you. Stay radical.
You always make it look so simple. Absolutely love your videos wish you made more weekly but I totally get it. I will just wait patiently for the next fantastic Bushradical video.
Again. A quality, no BS "how I got it done" Dave Whipple posting!! I can't get enough of these! And the "most important nail of all" LOL!! Stay radical Dave!!!
