Exactly. This shed was built from experience since I did the same build 12 years ago at my old house and it's 100% fine.

Love the little man’s Jaws shirt, I watched that when I was 12 when it came out.

That turned out fantastic, Brad. Nicely done!

Great build video; appreciate your time and the way you explain the 'why' so that a 1st timer like me can understand. Thank for posting!

Using Nails are cheaper,faster, and stronger (unless you used structural screws) but harder to correct any mistakes. Felt paper and house wrap would have been best practice. Also, PVC facia would last longer. However, it’s your shed and everything you did was perfect for a shed. I enjoyed the video ….looks great.

Looks great, just curious why you didn't put a foundation of tar paper, on the roof, before putting on the shingles.

Best explanation of framing I've seen.

For any leftover "J" channel, buy a cheap 2x2 box fan and put a channel on either side. Pick up a filter about 24" x 24" and you have a very effective air filter for the shop. I put mine in the middle of the shop, set to high, put on a mask, then use the air compressor to blow the dust off of the lights and horizontal surfaces. After 10 minutes take the fan outside and blow the dust off of the filter and you are ready for the next clean up. Yes, I have a good dust collection system but I still end up with dust in the shop.

Excellent video.

I've always understood it not as a preference and more that screws for framing are simply wrong, but I'm not a framer so I only figure its correct since nails have alot more flexibility and don't shear off or snap like s screw does so nails will allow some movement. I also understand this is just a shed but why wasn't a house wrap like Tyvex (understandably less important) or a roofing tar paper used?

In 5 to 10 years this shed will need some plywood replaced, roofing repairs and probably some frame repairs. Water damage will be the cause. A simple moisture barrier would have extended the life of this shed an extra 15 to 25 years. Apart from those, shed has great workmanship and looks amazing.
