This is a great introductory “class” for building. A be-all-end-all? Of course not, but this is one hell of a ramp up.

Good morning! I've always been interested in seeing how people build things. Very often, you see different people build pretty much the same thing, but differently. You can always learn something, even if it's how not to do something. :) I just wanted to compliment you on this video. It's apparent that you know what you're doing when it comes to building. Your construction looks solid and your techniques appear to result in a strong building which will be there for a while. Moreover, your video production is very, very good. The audio is good quality, easy to understand without any noise (like the wind, which we hear all too often in construction or other outdoor videos). The video is also of very good quality. The shots are well composed, in-focus (you'd be surprised, but lots of folks seem to mess that up), well lit, and steady. There's also good graphics to clearly illustrate certain points. You take the time to show what you're doing in pretty good detail and explain it very well. Additionally, you've taken the time and made the effort to provide a materials list and drawings to help someone "follow in your footsteps" should they choose to build their own shed. I'd say that yours is one of the very best I've seen on RU-vid. After studying television broadcast production in college, and working seven years in public access tv, I think I what it takes to tell a story using tv. Any home improvement show on commercial television would be lucky to have put together something as well done as yours. Well, well done! Keep up the good work!

A remarkably thorough video on the process and techniques. Well done. I’ve built 4 shops on my property using similar methods and have to say your instructions are great!

Very nice. Appreciate this video. Your a great teacher

Great builder. Thanks for explaining why you use the things you use. I can switch to better nails

Wonderful video, brother! Thank you for all your help. It is a great value to the homeowner.

This is the perfect shed for me, nice classic design while maximizing space. I just bought the plans and I cant wait to start building. I'll be following your videos all along the way. 😊

We really enjoyed the video. You're such a good teacher-from practical tips to why a certain thing is done. Learning the 'why' is important. I only have one suggestion. If you're in a area that has animals that dig, for us that's groundhogs and chipmunks, I would suggest laying down a barrier under the foundation first. It's much easier to do it before than to try to add it after. If you've ever had to evict a groundhog, it can be troublesome and expensive. There are more 'permanent' methods but they're frowned upon in the suburbs. For larger animals 2"x4" welded wire fencing laid over the whole area under the shed and extending out as far as your excavation works. Connect the strips with wire so it's a continuous sheet. Chipmunks would require 1/2" hardware cloth. It's an added expense but if they get under there and dig out a den it more than pays for itself in time, money and aggravation. Speaking from long, frustrating experience here. Very happy to have found your channel. I'm learning a lot and it's entertaining to boot.

Thank you for teaching and showing all of us DIY how to build a shed from beginning to end. Im getting ready to build a 8X8 shed after moving the plastic shed to another space

If others are interested in building a shed, I would personally go with a 7/ 12 pitch or maybe less instead of the 9/12. I ended up going with 9/12, and roofing ended up being quite difficult as I couldnt comfortably stand on this steep of a pitch. Ended up needing to use roof brackets, and it easily took me 2x longer to roof it than it wouldve with a more manageable pitch. Also, dont forget to consider the facia before installing drip edge. Aside from that, great vid! Thanks for the guidance!

Great video. Pretty straight forward. Nice

If you are going to use screws for framing, you wan to use something like Simpson Strong-Tie, Strong-Drive SDWS Framing Screws. These are rated for the shear forces in framing, the Grip Rite are not. Grip rite are barely good enough to use for crappy wood working projects.

thanks! Very informative

Nice just very nice video

I wish math class would have used practical math use like building a shed roof than just all formulas. I actually learned marh here. Thanks. (Well, I've watched the videos multipe times 😅 and buying the plans. No need to gamble.).

Great video my friend! I'm considering building a 10x12 shed with a friend but neither one of us have done this before. Would you be interested in working with us on building it? I would like to learn and you seem like an awesome teacher. I would pay for all the materials and you would be paid accordingly of course for your time and effort as well.

Video skipped facia install. Somehow, the drip edge which was installed prior ended up outside the facia. is the problem on my end or is that not in the video? If not, why wouldn’t you install the facia befor the drip edge? Thanks and the video is very helpful. I am building mine now.

Why not use a ridge board? Any difference?

Why not use a ridge board for your rafters?

what size trim are you using to cover those end of rafters ?

If its personal i think its worth doing all that' work ,but if its just for sale ,people won't pay much for sheds, meny of client's i have they don't want to spend much .good video thought. 😂

Thank you! Do you or anyone else know how to find out the maximum measurements in a state for a shed that is not taxed on property taxes?

If I want a 12x16 foot shed but with this style, is it difficult to extend its width and length? Thanks for the help!

Did you install a fascia board? If so, I think the tutorial is missing that part.

Great Video, but why do you stagger to shingles like that and have all that overhang instead of staggering it to that the 3rd strip doesn't have overhang? Is that just a preference or function? I'm not familiar with building anything before.

Great build! How long are the wall studs?

LP states shed windows should be attached to 2X4 frame, not over the Smart Siding. And if you are using the common LP Smart Siding 38 Series that is sold in Home Depot as per the link here you have to use double nailing on on combined seams, not single nail as shown here.

HI. from where did you get 3,487 Can someone explain please?

The front door being closed on a slope tho 😬

Nicely explained and done.
