Great build, instructions and ideas! I'm an old carpenter who has not done any carpentry work in a couple of decades and am impressed. Thi is similar to what I am thinking of building for a two part L shaped tiny house, and you just helped explain it to my wife.

I just watched this and probably gonna binge a bunch of your videos. I have an old garage I've been wanting to remodel into my home office, but never felt it was big enough. Kind of debating on building a wooden "shed" now instead. Your video was so well put together that I feel like I understand what is required and what the general process would be.

Pete, thank you so much for making these videos. I am currently working on a shed but this would make a nice office space for my wife and I. Can't wait to show you how the shed turns out. Thank you again!!!!

Hey thanks a ton Matt! Hope you are having a great summer and thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave some feedback! Cheers man!

Excellent video!!! I was contemplating having a garden office, having looked into the costs for the build done by a professional I half heartedly thought I could build it myself (no previous building experience) however, having seen your video, your build is exactly what i had in mind!!!! I am so motivated to give this a go!! I cannot thank you enough, the step by step explanation was brilliant. Clear, Concise, entertaining, and you left in your mistakes!!! Awesome!!! Thank you so much!!

Such a thorough description-thank you. We plan to line an existing garden shed/cottage to become a home gym and this has really inspired me. We actually had all of the windows in our house resprayed black inside and out for a fraction of the price of replacement. It was about 35 windows and the original color was a yellowish cream called primrose (we are in Australia and this was a popular color for windows in the 80’s and 90’s). The black windows totally transformed our home. We also love marketplace for bargain building materials!

This is just awesome. As a person who finished my own basement and shed, I was smiling the whole time watching this. The most satisfying part is the last part when you see happy people inside it 😀 love from Massachusetts

I am so amazed at the quality of workmanship. I want to build a backyard office and this building is my dream. Thanks for explaining all the steps so thoroughly -- it'll be very helpful when I get to building!

I will honestly buy your books or go to your classes if you ever consider going that route. The quality of your instructions with video reference, and your explanation for each step taken transmit to me (your audience) the love and respect you have for the trade. You sir are EXTRAordinary.. A+

The amount of time it would take to record almost every single step like this is staggering, and really difficult to do when you just want to make progress building. Impressively detailed! Thanks for sharing.

Holy crap this was amazing. At first I was like "I'll just skip around since it's 50+ mins long" but I ended up watching every second. Very engaging. I'm not a construction guy at all so I think I only understood about 20% of what you referenced in the build but this really generated some ideas that I've been noodling for an outside office in my backyard. Well done sir!!

An hour! Time flys when your having fun, that was fascinating, makes me want to build something, such good video work and so logically laid out suddenly construction makes sense, thankyou.

We built our home, took 17 months. Before we started that we built a 16x24 structure, laughingly call “The Shed”, so we would be able to stay there while we worked the bigger build. We did some similar deal shopping, garage sales and even dumpster diving. It turned out adorable and is a guest house , with a bath and kitchette & with a nice loft for storage. Our accent wall was plained barn wood. It has a covered porch that runs the full length of the front of the bldg (24 ft x 10 ft). Your video was so good and a real throwback. Wish we had it when we built.

Great job! 👍 I wonder how it behaves over several winters. Here in Europe we put all constructions on foundation walls or pilars, as deep as the ground freezing level. Rationale is that the ground above this level moves when soaks, dries and freeze. But this increase the cost of construction considerably. So this video makes me thinking whether I should also give a try to use an inch or two of gravel instead of foundation for my shed.

@TheDiner50

Жыл бұрын

No clue. But there are allot of sheds and kid playhouses just built on stone/concrete plates? Like very similar to this. The very very old wash shed (half the size of this thing) and the kids playshed rest on stones and yea they have moved enough that the kids shed needed attention ones or twice in my 25years on the farm. The roof bits are falling of it is that old! And really the foundation seems to need maintaining but I mean it worked. Not much future off the ground then this building and no gravel or anything under them. Just plain rock foundation skillfully built and wood built ontop of it. But the old wash shed seems to be doing fine but also not located on a hill. And with thin slab of concrete stacked instead of stone. The kind of slabs used to make a grill and table place outdoors. You know what I mean slabs in the ground instead of sitting in the grass or gravel. Used that to raise the wood of the ground. Was moved and put on the slabs also 25 years ago and never needing any maintaining of the foundation. But the shed is not really cared for soo.. Regular -30c and snow at places up over the head without it being from roof fall. So real winters and still not strictly necessary for a tool shed to go under the frost line or whatever it is called.

fabulous video! couple of questions 1) Why vapor barrier only for the walls and not the roof? 2) What is the chance of moisture & mold under the shed?

One of the best, most thorough, building tutorial videos I have ever viewed. Big thumbs up on this build....Awesome!

Hey Jordan! I did about a 12/2 pitch for this project. Around 9 1/2 feet 2x4's used in the front, and about 7 1/2 on the back and sides ( after cut down to size ). Since it is a lower pitch, I used snow and ice guard on the whole thing vs normal roofing paper. Drainage is great though ( even with lots of snow ) - and has worked excellent.

I can't even cut a piece of plywood in half.

It’s pretty cool to see how different we build things in different parts of the world!

Thanks Pete for make this video. Super detailed, I could understand a lot of details for built my cabin.

Great video! I drew out something like this a while back for a shed. Glad I saw this video. Gave me some new ideas!

Agree with last comment. Well-narrated, will-put-together video. Thanks much! Love the black painted trim modification. Often I learn more from mistakes than when things go smoothly. I want to point out a few things that I learned (mistake-wise) from this video -- to round out the learning experience -- again, great video. Bottom-line up front (6 major errors, 4 cautions, 1 suggestion): 1) Especiallly with a shed this size, excavate such that you are able to have a 4" (min) base of gravel to the height you will want and compact the soil/clay with a compacter 2) Use landscape textile on the soil/clay prior to putting down gravel so that the gravel doesn't sink into wet soil over time 3) Level gravel before building on top 4) Compact gravel using a compactor 5) Level skids before building truss frame 6) Square truss frame before attaching joists & re-square after attaching joists and installing corner hardware. Caution 1: Would recommend a frame around the gravel base. This could be either ground-contact rated pressure-treated or plastic lumber (e.g. 4x4s). This avoids the gravel migrating away from the shed and causing leveling issues over time. Caution 2: Consider if you need drainage (corrugated, silt-sock-covered plastic drainage tubing and install if needed along with a dry well Caution 3: Consider whether you need a gutter system and tie into the plastic drain tubing and dry well system. Caution 4: Use clean 3/4" gravel for best drainage. Suggestion: The shed is well-insulated everywhere except for I'd make an improvement to the roof to allow for a 6" - 1" airspace for soffit and ventilation. For this I'd suggest to install a ledger board 1/2 to 1 foot below the roof decking on the insides of the roof joists, then put soffit vents and the back side of the shed under the eaves, and exit vents or the front fascia or a ridge vent on the front top shed edge. Inside I'd put either solid foam with reflective top surface (and caulk edges) or put roof decking attached to the ledger boards with reflectix on top surface of roof decking. This will allow for hot air to flow and not be trapped inside the shed and give the shed a much-more controlled air space. Caution 1. Would recommend a frame around the gravel base. This could be either ground-contact rated pressure-treated or plastic lumber (e.g. 4x4s). This avoids the gravel migrating away from the shed and causing leveling issues over time. Error 1. Excavate such that you are able to have a 4" (min) base of gravel to the height you will want. Error 2. You will not be happy when the gravel eventually compresses into mucky/wet ground. My brother's entire driveway disappeared this way. Caution 4. Put down a commercial grade Use 3/4" clean rock. Regular chips and dust is cheaper but not as good for drainage. Recommend 4" depth (min). Error3-5. Once the frame is in, fill and use a gravel compacter and make sure it is level. This will take awhile and you'll want to use the longest, straightest board you can with a level on top of it. I can't underestimate the importance of compacting and leveling the foundation. Fixing level with a shed on top is no fun.Recommend 4". Error 6. Why force all the truss screws to bend if the frame isn't square? This doesn't make sense.

The gems i found today. Thanks Pete! Watching from KSA

Great job and super in depth, so many little details other people don’t explain properly. You really cleared up a lot of things for me that I will use in my projects. Thanks so much god bless!
