I appreciate that you seem like a guy who was just learning as he went. This is a really helpful starting point/overview.

This video was spot on for my project of 200 sq ft no permit required 👏 👌 👍

I have done a little bit of framing in my life and here are some tips.... shove the header all the way up to the top plate and fur the header down to your R/O, leave a minimum of 1/2" on all R/O's (1" if someone else is framing it); run your rafters long and snap a chalk line to get your tails straight; use a string on everything to keep it straight; turn the corner a minimum of 12" on drip edge and overlap minimum of 1-1/2" over the roof felt.

To support your roof you are supposed to cut a "Birds mouth" on your roof rafters where they meet with your side walls, the hurricane ties protect the roof from lifting in high winds.

They even had the birdsmouth cuts on their diagram but missed it during construction.

This was great, thanks for sharing!

Barn is more cost effective, less materials to buy.

Nice job 👏

Nice work! No noggs between the studs there, must have some super anti twist pine where you're from 👍🏼

Good videos

Great project. Any chance you can provide drawings?

@Find Out, I also reside in the Seattle area... what company or who did you use for your concrete pour? I'm looking to build a 12 x 16 or 12 x 20 as well. I really appreciate this video because it practically matches what I want and is a good baseline for pricing.

Hi Loren, I actually don't remember who we went with (Sam builds the stuff and edits videos, I edit comments haha) I'll try to remember and ask. I wouldn't give them raving reviews but overall they did a decent job. Communication with them was sparse, the job was under the table (I'm assuming at least, we paid cash), and we were hoping to be here when they poured but they didn't give us a heads up for when they were arriving. With that said I don't expect high dollar service when I am paying a budget price...

@@findoutDIY understood. If you do happen to come across their names in the next few weeks. Please let me know. I have an estimate of 2500 which I think I may roll with from a contractor friend. But that's just an estimate right now.

This is really nice! Would you be willing to share the blueprints? I’d gladly even purchase them off of you.

Same question here

Just curious how do you find it parking a car 16ft in length or less within this garage? I am looking to have a custom garage built but it is in NYC and there is very minimal space. The largest Ill be able to get length wise is 16.5 to 17ft and about 12 ft wide. Cars I would park inside would be about 14.5ft in length to 15.25 ft in length.

In all honesty we actually don't use it for our car, we never planned to personally. We use it to store gear and tools but wanted to build something big enough to fit a small sedan for future owners and/or renters. We did park our Prius in it once after building it just to see how it fits and it was tight but doable. Our primary reason for building it so small was to stay within our cities un-permitted building limits (if we went larger we would have needed a building permit)

How did you wire electric for the garage door opener? No other lights or receptacles?

No permit needed because the shed’s footprint was small enough. In most, if not all counties in Washington state, anything over 200 sf requires a permit.

I would of just bought a shed if it would cost me 7k

Am I seeing daylight/gaps between the floor and base plate when you show the inside of the garage at the end? If so, that's not good.
