You are very kind. Thank you for such nice comments.

Great demonstration of getting foundations right to start off the project. So many times if you take the time to do the foundation right you avoid problems later in the project. Also, great discussion of why and when you might want to stagger the seams of your floor sheeting.

We have actually been talking about building our own shed for a few years now. This video was extremely helpful. Looking forward to watching the rest of the build and preparing to then build one ourselves. Lots of great helpful comments on this as well. Thanks for sharing.

Best DYI video on KZread, Hands down. After watching all 4 I now feel very comfortable tackling this project. I have done a lean to on my own but this make tackling my shed/workshop exciting. Thank you so much!

Thank you for posting this video, i was inspired how hard your daughters worked, and the skills your teaching them. Excellent commentary .

Your family has skills! And they work like SeaBees -- hard, smart, and well. You have taught them well. You must be quite proud of each of them.

What a great video. Clear, easy to follow guidance. You are a great teacher. Can't wait for Part 2 !!

Oh my. Thank you for this warm video. I love that family builds shed together. Beautiful.

dont you hate it when the video starts the guy says you need the minimalistic tools later you see them using bobcats plate compactors and jack hammers lol good video

Seeing your girls building a shed together gives me hope. I have two daughters (four and 6 months) and hope to get them involved in my shop projects.

Thanks for the video, it's not diy if you have many workers and heavy equipment.

I am very impressed at how you made this whole build so easy to follow. You are an excellent teacher and builder. This is close to what I need to build and wouldn't have thought of the 6” long timberlock bolts.

Great video! I really enjoy seeing you and your family working on projects together. As a licensed architect (and former carpenter), I'd like to point out a minor correction. The UBC is no longer used. It, and the other model building codes (SBC, BOCA, etc.), was retired about 20 years ago. Many aspects of them were incorporated into the IBC (International Building Code). Each state eventually adopted this new model code, with specific alterations. The IBC for each state is readily available for free online. I only mention this to prevent someone from looking up requirements based on an obsolete code. Perhaps you meant to say IBC, instead of UBC. If that is the case, my apologies.

James your series based videos are some of the best available, always a pleasure, thank you for sharing your expertise and experience with all of us

Hi Beau, thank you! You are very kind!

Overall this is a good build. There are 3 minor things I would have done differently: 1. I would have staggered the plywood seams. Yes the joists are resting on the skids, but I like that little bit of extra strength. 2. If you tack a piece of 3/4" stock to the end of the rim joists and pull your 16s from that, you can install your joists with the edge on the mark instead of eyeballing the centers of the joists. Just a little easier in my opinion. 3. This is the biggest one for me - I would never build a shed (or any other structure) in a location where I couldn't get to all sides of the structure. So while I appreciate that you had limited space, I would have either shifted it a foot or so farther away from your neighbor's shed or settled for a slightly narrower shed so that I could access the neighbor's side of it. That would have been good for your neighbor's access to that side of his shed too.

I would have also added blocking in between the joists, every 4 feet. This would allow the 6" OC nailing around the perimeter of each plywood sheet.

Hurray! The King Family (and friends) building again. Love you guys. 😘 Kings’ Fine Woodworking Community is awesome. And I’ve been thinking about building a shed. Now I have no excuse.

Hi Barbara! Let us know what size. I’ll send you some plans if you like.

Best shed building vid I have watched so far. Many thanks. Looking forward to watching the rest

Hi. Nice video. While I am familiar with construction I did learn something: the permanance of red v blue chalk. And great to see your daughters doing the work. That made me very happy.

This is fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series!. This is fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series!.

Great team work! When you compact the ground with plate compactor, make sure spraying some water along with compaction. This will help the solid to achieve optimal moisture content and eliminate settlement in the future. Also, try compact the soil no more than 4 to 6 inches if your base is thicker.

Love the detail and easy to follow directions. Will definitely gave me great confidence to built mine now. Thanks a million.

A pro tip. When marking stud locations, offset the tape measure 3/4", then the marks will be the edge of the stud. Mark an "X" on the side where the stud should go. Much more precise than eyeballing the center of the stud. I do realize that perhaps you skipped this as your target audience is novice level.

You sir, are a very pleasant, very thorough instructor. My fiance and I started a10x10 shed today from watching your vids, again thank you for what you do..I truly appreciate and enjoy your videos...

two hours with a bobcat including taking that concrete rubble away to a waiting trailer, pulling a small stump and placing several tons of stone. No doubt a very efficient pace. Your statement that all this could be done in about 1/2 a day/4hrs by hand with a wheeled barrow is a very optimistic estimate. I would think you have hugely under estimated to value of the bobcat and similarly underestimated the time necessary to complete the work by hand by at least 2 to 1.

Beautiful work brother thanks for teaching us 🙏

I remember building our two sheds (but years apart). They weren't ready cut by any means, but we did follow plans. Even still, it took us months (my dad was working full time and I was still in school, so we could only build it on weekends). But we anchored the foundation to cement posts both times.

Thanks for the walk through this is great to aatch explanation makes sence to a newbie like myself.

Nice job, many thanks from France 👍👍👍

Things I would have done differently: #1 & 2, I would have done it on a concrete slab, and put at least 4 trailer tie-downs in the ground before I did the concrete base. #3, Paint the skids with either red guard or a rubber spray and the floor joists as well. #4 &5, Before I attached the floor, I would have gone ahead and bolted in the joists and then layered about 3 varying sizes of wire mesh and a window screen...it helps to keep pests out. When I do something, I tend to think long-term and go a bit over board.

Thank you! Like, subscribed.
