The book provides clear illustrations ru-vid.comUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.
@5:01 "... watched so many videos that I'm full of false confidence." You have succinctly described 99% of my projects. Thanks for the videos, they are helpful and always fun to watch.
Staples on Tyvek? Use cap fasteners. It's code in most places, and code is "bare minimum" if you want a structure that will last even close to as long as that metal roof. DO tape the bottom of the Tyvek to the foundation. If you've got water getting behind the Tyvek, you've got bigger problems. Also splashes from the ground during heavy rains could get up behind your siding if you aren't careful, and if the bottom of the Tyvek isn't secured, water then could get behind the Tyvek from those splashes and rot it out the bottom of your structure.
I love this series. You keep it real and admit when things go wrong which is the reality for 90% of everyone. Can't wait to see how the finished shed is going to look.
So wished someone would have shown U Ice Shield and how to fix U a stop across the front of the porch, it really help when working by yourself and it keeps it exactly the over hang U want. Ice shield my friend that's incredible stuff, it's 3ft wide and it goes on first before either .015 felt or what I use, Synthetic felt!. FIRST ONE! YOUR DOING A HELL-OF-A-JOB!!!! SERIOUSLY I KNOW CONTRACTOR WANTA BE'S AND THEY NEED TO GO GET SOMEONE TO JUST DO IT FOR THEM!!! YOUR LOOKING AT IT THE RIGHT WAY! YOUR THINKING LIKE WATER AND THATS THE WAY U DO IT..
There are special Staples for tyvec that have a small plastic backer around the staple that hold the tyvec in place better. My town actually told me we had to use them as they were code
For a total newb to building something like this, it doesnt look too shabby. Nice job, I like it! A tip for future projects and for anyone that wants to give metal roofing a try; for cuts along the length of a panel, simply score the metal several times, lightly at first, adding pressure with subsequent passes. Then just bend the panel carefully and it'll snap right off.
Your channel popped and I love your honest narration and personality. Keep being sincere, you have a genuine appeal. Your pacing and narration are good and I sincerely appreciate keeping it appropriate, makes it so kids can watch also. Please continue with the great style and content. Also I thought the boom box joke was funny.
A couple tips a bit late now but. If you take a regular circular saw and turn the blade backwards it will Cut through the metal like butter. Second tip, to make pre drilling easier and make sure your screws are dead straight you should have stacked each panel up and drilled through all of them at once. Super easy. Great job I love the shed.
Really enjoying this series. A couple things: When cutting down multiple sheets with an angle grinder you can *pre drill* a couple holes where you would use to send screws for install to drill your sheets to a board to hold them in place. Also grinders can make microscopic metal shavings that can lead to rust. Cover your sheets if you use a grinder. Also avoid drilling your holes in your sheets. Use an awl and hammer. Doesn’t make any metal shavings which can scratch your paint and lead to rust.
@@mrmattbassett of that size? Check out Home Depot’s website. It would be closer to 20 grand if he bought it. He even says in the first video he wants to build not buy to save money after price checking.
This is how all of us learn. We see & hear how Travis learns along the way. We would be doing the same thing if we were building the shed too. Thank You for this shed series.
Hola! 🖐Looking good! Better and better as the project moves along. Can't wait to see how this all turns out. Thanks for pointing out all of the "hiccups" but I surely hope you are enjoying what you are building. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Just FYI on the drip edge you’re supposed to keep about a 3/8” (or finger thickness) between the drip edge and the fascia boards. When you install it tight as you did surface tension will cause the water to run down the fascia. It’s not a big deal since you used PVC but had you used wood it would cause premature rot on the fascia.
In Thailand we had to replace a roof. The cost of replacing the entire roof with a metal frame and sheetmetal roofing was 2000 dollars including installation. Things are so expensive in the states.
BRO! You cannot have a construction project without some Vicente Fernandez jams. Yes, I listen to plenty of rock and other songs but Vicente songs is a must, there's something about his songs while working. Just a suggestion for future videos.
Enjoying the series! Shingles would have just faded into the background while this roof will be a defining feature. As always your candor is refreshing.
Drip edge needs a space, because the whole point is water has surface tension and you want to hold it out far enough that a drip forms before it finds a pathway onto your building.
Awesome series. Early in the video when you asked your hand scraped and cut up the first thing I thought was why did he not wear gloves LOL! I learned a long time ago from drop ceiling installation to always wear gloves when cutting metal.
I'm surprised that you didn't notice that Kyle punches the holes for the screws with a throwaway awl rather than drilling them. Seems a lot easier and quicker than drilling.
I think everyone watching appreciates you leaving in the "mistakes" and "mishaps". Like running out of wrap with a few feet left. 😂😂Happens to everyone. Great video as well!!
When standing on a roof, even a metal roof, a simple piece of yellow foam makes standing up there easier. Think a couch cushion without the fabric. My brother in law used it finishing up a metal roof in the rain. Just stand on the foam and no sliding around.
Yo on the porch front by the door. You can set up one of the screen projects that rolls down and you can set up a projector and with a bluetooth speakers you can make an outdoor mini movie theater. I set up something like that on my garage and love it
I did a standing seam roof on my back porch with 3 skylights and one connecting upper wall. It was literally the most technical thing I've ever done but the most rewarding. It still looks beautiful and is virtually maintenance free. Always love a metal roof. Yours is turning out great! Keep it up and all your tips were perfect. Especially those gloves!
Again another great video. The built in puns and the sharing of your kinda mess ups inspires me. Aft r a previous video of this shed build I think I mentioned that have been planning that build a 8 X 12 shed for my son who lives 4 hours away. I leave Thursday late morning for his house and hopefully will have completed everything except the siding by Sunday evening. I’m going take it photos for sure and maybe some video. If it doesn’t suck to bad I might try to share it with you. Either way I’m inspired by your effort.
Really enjoy following this build and look forward to seeing it completed. You must really love you some college football....careful though on that ladder, working sideways off an A frame on that ground, it'll get out from under you quick.
Jobs always take so much more energy then we think it should. If you know the spots where the screws are you can drill all the holes at the same time by laying them on top of each other. That's we did on my shop. And I'm always chasing Shop Greatness.
I love metal roofs but for a shed I probably would have selected something cheaper, who am I kidding I would have done exactly as you did but with way more mistakes.
I've been contemplating building a new larger shed. Your videos have been great but the costs of everything bring it very close to having one delivered. I need a bigger, at least 12x16, shed that I want to move our table saw and miter saw into.
Awesome series, Travis! I was gonna put a comment in to check out Kyle and Greg at R&R, but you beat me to it. Those guys are awesome and so detail-oriented. I learned all the trim detail for the metal work I did on my shop last year from them. Can't wait to see the finished product on this build.
I would have never thought you would have a problem with getting material for a project. You have a shop for ever possible item you can think of and there a pretty much everywhere. I thought that was just a problem we have in oz. It’s looking awesome and I really like that your keeping it real by leaving mistakes and all in plus the odd funny punts I always get a laugh.Great channel and content thanks
You can always bend a little ridge up at the end of you run of roofing if you don’t have a ridge. That way the water can’t go up and over it. That’s if it gets past you butyl tape.
Big "T" keep up the good work. You will set back in a chair by the campfire with your family and say. I am glad it is done, what a learning experience it was. Your kids will love it. Also camp out in it they will love you and the wife for it!!!!
Not even finished the video. Watching you install the first piece of metal roof. I'm already thinking that you should have done shingles. So many little steps with this metal roof...
What can go wrong will go wrong big or small lol that’s my luck also ✌️ nice honest build… it’s definitely much much harder both physically and mentally, then it looks.. looking good tho! 👍
Just use the dam cap nails from the beginning that was funny and i appreciate your honesty. If i got the length measurements wrong I played it back in slow motion and in Black & White hahahahaha. Amazing Project and you're an awesome editor. I know now why i subscribed long before your move. Great Content.. One of my fav channels.
You should look into "cougar paws". It's a shoe we use when hanging Christmas lights. Gives great traction on the roofs. Thanks for showing us the tips and tricks.
