I want to build an outside bathroom. When my kids, family and friends use my pool, they’ve got to walk through the living room to get to the bathroom. I think something like this would be great.
I just bought myself a wooden shed for 1500 and figured I can make it into my own space 6x8 feet and just a small space for me. This video gives me lots of ideas to make it my own private space. Such a cool concept ! Every man needs a man cave lol. Wooden sheds can last 15-20 years too apparently.
Thanks Pete - I always enjoy that you strike the perfect balance in terms of length. Enough to be informative and to learn from - while still being entertaining. I do have to admit that I often watch twice because I find myself enjoying the beautiful scenery where you live.
Thanks so much man! I appreciate the feedback. I try to include the basics for people interested in the steps / process, and to edit out the unnecessary footage that would just add to the length. Thanks for watching, and glad the scenery is fun to watch for ya! Cheers!
Glad to see you put up more videos, and never tire of your background landscape. That peppercorn and mahogany stain color is amazing. Hope to see more videos and keep up the great work!
I appreciate the detailed thought and explanation throughout (like natural lighting for video calls). I can’t wait to build my office shed! Thanks for posting.
I've suddenly remembered how Snoopy's doghouse had this cool underground level he used for throwing parties. Would be cool to see something like that on youtube
Really nice! I’d like a version of that for a bee house. Bee boxes would be enclosed inside the shed and holes on the back wall for them to enter and leave.
Oh, man!!! Your super cozy and really tiny working shed is ABSOLUTELY mind-blowing and such a great job!!!! You've taken this goal perfectly, and, you've taken such a strong desicion to dive deep into it and lately jump out with an amazing result! Thank you for such a brilliant job, bro.Kudos for sure, and i'm your very brand new subscriber! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Cheers, Serge.
Love it! Just awesome. If it were my build, I would go with a larger bay window (non-opening, no obstruction of view). Then one small sliding window on the side wall for ventilation.
Wow this was an exciting and educational video. You did an excellent job of explaining the whole process, even though it was a little fast paced. I’m an electrician and hope to one day build my very own home. Going to binge watch your vids man. Great job! Don’t know what trade you did in your lifetime, but regardless it shows you know the process of how a building is built.
Amazing, well done Mr. Pete Thanks god i found you because i was thinking to build my own house and shed studio. I'm sure gonna learn a lot of things from you, thank you so much.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the project video! That is cool you are potentially looking at building something similar. Looking forward to hearing what you create! Cheers
I have a one car garage, built circa 1920 that has seen better days. My plan is to jack up the structure and lay 3 courses of block under the current walls. This will get the lumber up and away from ground moisture, add some more overhead clearance inside, and be a fun project!
Your house is beautiful. 13:45 I am adoring the wood meets black metal trim aesthetic. This shed couldn’t go any better with the style of your home. Great choices all around. Next year, build a golf simulator room/shed
Fantastic work, Pete! Really well done!!! 😃 Construction prices here in Brazil are really hurting right now... 😬 (I just finished 2 houses for renting and it was a headache!) Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! Bummer to hear costs are still sky high down there. We are still high but OSB and 2x4s are fairly normal. Take care and hope the fam is doing well! Cheers
Thanks Scott! It would be awesome for you to put a little creative space in your backyard. You would definitely put something like that to good use. Cheers!
I had one of these but it wasn’t as joyful as I’d hoped. In North Carolina it was too hot in the summers to cool the thing down and to cold in the winters to keep it warm. I wish I’d given it a more serious electrical service and just plan to have a mini split system in there. Maybe a wood stove for the coldest days.
Be careful with using shingles on low pitch roofs they can leak if your pitch isn’t steep enough. This is more for someone watching as I don’t know what your roof pitch is. It just looked rather flat at the beginning and then it Looked fairly pitched toward the end. Nice build I’ve been thinking of building something like this.
He states at one point of the video that it's a 2/12 pitch, which is the minimum allowed for asphalt shingles. Best practice to use full ice & water shield for underlayment.
That's awesome! I have a friend who is doing the same thing as you with a 10x20 shed that is about half storage and half office. Good luck and have fun with your build!
Thanks Stuart! It's definitely getting better. I've found it takes a long time to build my quad muscle strength back up, but it is getting a lot stronger and I'm hoping to get back out on the ice this winter! Still doesn't feel normal, but i hear it just takes time. Trail running and hiking again though so can't complain! Hope all is well!
Thank for watching! I get this comment quite a bit haha. I've taken a picture though and it is crazy how similar they look. The real XP backdrop is somewhere in California :) Cheers!
holy...!!!! 10 mins ago, i was just looking for good videos for building a little house for my dog before this Xmas. 10 mins later, after somehow coming across this video, now all in my mind is I want to build a "house". Oh well, more like a "shed", but with the proper window and door. I will probably not consider the window or door used in this video to reduce the cost though. I may consider to add a skylight window on the roof. Dont know if my local council will approve this...
