I Built a Backyard Work From Home Studio | Start to Finish 

Thank you to everyone who's watched this video and shared such love in the comments. At times I almost put the camera away and I'm happy I was able to put this video together. I'm now in my 2nd winter and still enjoying all that hard work from the build, love this space. The comments bring me back to this vid and make me smile so thank you again! For anyone who is thinking about building their own space - my mindset was its going to be hard and cost me no matter the time so I might as well do it now while I know i can. My other advice would be to get a nail gun and knee pads. Much Love - Drew ❤

Dude. Not only does my face hurt from smiling, but watching someone do something for the first time and succeed to this measure is nothing short of inspirational. I am the ultimate superfan! LETS GOOOO BABYYYYYYYY!!! GET AFTER IT FOR LIIIIIFFFEEEEE!!!! xoxoxox G

It's something about watching people in their element that gives me a warm feeling and these concrete guys were on point! You made the right choice. If the foundation isn't perfect, nothing will be and you had the cutest little apprentice. Very nice build!

I'm a stay-at-home dad as well and a father of 2 sets of twins. I am glad to see you do this project and know exactly what you went through. We built one for my wife during the pandemic and the sheet rock and insulation was a pain and tedious. But once it's done it's well worth it and they can be a great value to your home. I do regret putting in too much insulation because in the summer it's extremely hot and a portable AC is a must-have! I'm now ready to build a floating wood deck on the outside.

Man, you did a great job! It brought back a lot of memories from a few years ago when I built my little off-grid shed/house -- both the parts where it's like "yay! I did that!" and also the parts of "no. never again." Excellent job, and I really enjoyed the video itself, too.

I love the walking back to the bucket for two nails each time you fix a stud. Made me smile ha. Great looking job

Congratulations! Nice work. You made from scratch to finish. Love your cute boy...he is adorable that makes you going. Thanks for sharing.

So admirable to watch you put this shed together from start to finish. Making mistakes but trusting the process. it came out beautiful!

There’s definitely a ripple effect with the inspiration cause this is amazing and now I feel like finally building one

Beautiful build and incredible video. You're the man Walt!

Nice great job, I built a 8x12 office this summer. Kind of regret not filming it. Looks awesome

This is little flip commenting on Andy's account, but just wanted to say how absolutely awesome this is. You have inspired me to start building/drawing something of my own. So happy for you, Andrew. Excited to see what you do next. Love you, man!

absolutely loved the sofa and the bookshelf wow and amazing you did most of it yourself. Well done, bravo!

Good stuff! Sure helps with the planning of my own project. Thank you!

Great JOb!!!! Well worth in the end - love how you learned to do the cement slabs, they came out wonderful!

That sofa is AWESOME!!! You did a great job!!

Love this

Looks great, thank you for sharing.

this is so inspiring, I have space in backyard, I really wanna do something like this.

Great edit, lovely build, and solid shout out to Woodness. I’ve been planning a cabin since I found him in ‘21.

My favorite part of the timelapses on the roof was watching items slowly vibrate their way to the bottom of the roof and waiting to see if he caught them or not

I love this man. Congratulations on such an awesome job

Nicely done! I like the handprints with you and your son, and the Gandalf, and the Pokemon poster and Groot!

That looks really nice

7 minutes in, and I'm stoke for you; I'm a dad of a young son as well (2yo) and a DIY guy myself, your decision to have the concrete done professionally was brilliant

This so awesome! Incredible work, love it!

My respect to you... 🙌🙌🙌🙌

love your attitude man, solid work

I loved the end result! You also did a fantastic job editing the video together 😊

It looks fantastic, Drew! I’m due to start on my own much smaller shed (not office) soon with my brother’s help and have been delayed by a tree stump! My husband laughed when I said I was buying a nail gun (at 66y/o!) but I can’t wait to give it a go. Best wishes from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊

Great project! Well done!

Awesome job lads

Real nice.

I'm building a studio just like this in my back yard now! I really love what you did with the ceiling leaving the rafters exposed. I'm taking notes haha

The baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

Awesome, WOW... Thank you so much for sharing. I am so Happy for you. This is Truly a Dream of mine...

Very impressive.

Great job!

Superb effort. Looks fab.

Wow amazing 😂

I am a WFH dad who hangs out with my kids and works in the basement simultaneously. This is an INCREDIBLY convincing video hahah.

That's dope bro

Nice set up!! Great work!!!!!!

I am so exicted to watch when your coffee cup going to drop ....LOL ... nice video from start to finish

The hand prints in the cement 🥹

I enjoyed that 🦘🦘🦘

9:44 just perfect

THIS IS AMAZING, WALT! Woodness Goodness Jr

The family hand prints had me tearing up lol. I’m a dad too. That’s was insanely cool man 🎉

Amazing Work! The more of this type video I see the more I believe I could do this myself.

This looks great. I think I’m going to build a similar one with toilets and may be stained ceiling.

Good call on the A/C unit. Wall units are so noisy, the split air is perfect

Good work. I love your cup. 😂

Nice!

Verrry nice! Plus, cool choice of music...

Congrats man.

It's fun to watch Dwight Schrute building his work from home dunder miffn station

amazing

Very nice

Oh yeah. Add a pipe from the studio to the main house. Run 2 cat6 lines from the modem's location to the attic fed to the pipe outside to your studio. It's a headache but its the best connection you will get and wifi sucks going from one structure to another.

Reminds me of the Tiny House series in which people build their own tiny homes and live just fine.

Just found you this is content I need. I subscribed

Cool video and sick music. Inspiring!

You are a badass. So inspirational.

sounds like a heist movie, i dig

Baby is so cute

Lol love the video and i really started laughing once i seen the mug! I’m wearing the slippers while i watch this 😂😂😂

Awesome video! I really want to build something like this for me and kid to have a place for our artwork :)

I also use a spring clamp as a headphone rest, ha

6:51 This project would not have been a success without the baby's help. 😄😁😆

Nice. Cute baby.

I’ve heard that lesson this year as well. It’s better to pay the experts to do it, then have me completely foobar it up

Awesome build! Getting ready to build mine. Do you remember what the length x width of your roof was? Just trying to get a idea on the length of rafter supports I'll need and how many. thanks!

I mean I was already enjoying this video and then I saw the Loras Shirt! Du What?

You’re the first person I’ve seen that didn’t put plywood on the frame before sealing and putting the exterior walls up.

Great work man. Very Well edited video too. Currently looking for inspo to put out my studio reveal video that i finished 2 years ago 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for the inspo!

Incredible video, nice job. Couple questions- so how does the rain water stay out of the bottom b/w bottom 2x4 and concrete?, is the side panels covering all way to the concrete? Also did you use the bottom lumber in contact with concrete pressure treated?

👏👏👏

Pretty cool. Doesn't look like much insulation in the ceiling, guess you are in a warmer climate :)

Music in the beginning sounds like Khruangbin

I’m buying a house that will be completed in October/November and this is something that I want to do.

Молорик, хороший вкус!

Bro those camera shots tho 🤑

This is an amazing build! I've been thinking about doing something like this as well. I'm also a work from home dad so the space would be massively helpful. Just curious, what did you use to secure the stud walls to the concrete slab? Also, did you use drip edges or gables on the edges of the metal roof? Last question, did you have a set of plans you followed or did you plan and build it out yourself? If I decide to move forward, I'll have to get some of your artwork on the wall when it's complete.

if I'm not mistaken, the entire structure shifted as you walked up the ladder at 10:10. nevertheless, amazing work!

Great looking cabin. Did you work off of some plans?

Cool build! I like that you included the trenching and landscaping work. One question: between putting up the drywall and mudding, it looks like you put some green-colored filler around the ceiling beams. What is that green stuff?

Awesome build! One question though. Don't the outside walls usually get T&G, then weather barrier, then siding? Was there a reason you just did weather barrier then siding?

I want to build a shed/studio but watching this is making me second guess a lot 😭 especially with not having people to help and not having all the tools

Came for the shed build...stayed for the magnificent beard.

Awesome shed. With the high back yard. How do you deal with drainage? All that water flowing down to your shed and house.

good job man, now get back to the procreate videos lol. That jet that flew over at 12:14 was a nice touch lol

Really cool, man! Just curious, since I didn't see it in the video (or maybe I missed it) - what did you guys anchor the walls to the slab with? I didn't see any bolts or anything in the concrete. Wasn't sure what you guys used?

Dude. Watching you drive in those nails at the beginning in time lapse was wild. You see the nails go in but your hammer doesn’t hit them. Just looks like they go in by themselves

The pros really said "hold our beers while we knock this out" 😂😂

Looks great. qq: what are the heights of the front and back walls?

Does your city require zoning approval and a building permit?? With the shed at the bottom of that slope in the yard, does water runoff pool at that (low end) end of the shed? Any termite shield below the bottom wall plate and concrete slab? Any roof venting (I guess not)? Rafter ties?

Nice work! What size is this? And how high are your walls?

Awesome work. 2 years later, any insights / issue with the slab foundation?

Great project. Curious about the wall construction. It looked like you put on the vapor barrier/house wrap over naked studs, then put the external sheething on top of that. Why not clad the studs in OSB/Plywood, then apply the wrap and siding? Cheers.
