Everyday is a schoolday, different lesson but lessons never the less, great job for a one man show

Excellent video, you are my go to channel for this type of stuff, not just good instructions but well filmed and easy to watch as well. I also like the way you fess up to mistakes as we all make them! It’s not about what goes wrong in life - it’s how you fix it that matters! Time to get out there and finish my shed.

Nice job Tim. Thanks for filming and sharing your mistakes, it helps us all avoid making the same mistakes.

Tim have you been watching some of Kyle,s videos over at RR buildings? That's going to be a nice,big shed!

When using a level for any horizontal long run make sure to alternate the level!

Another awesome build, really well done! Would you recommend the smaller U-shape post supports for a carport and large porch? We're planning to build a car port which will basically be like a lean to blending into the slide of our garage as an extension of the roof. My biggest worry is wind blowing through and wanted to make sure the posts are fitted snug without much flex. The bottom of each post will be exposed to the weather, but hopefully chamfering the concrete pads will direct the rain water away. The other option are the U-shape with a very thick rebar welded to the bottom, that you can bed into the concrete - would you have used them if it wasn't so difficult to get everything square? "By Pythagorus... darn it the concrete has already set!" 😂 Appreciate your advice, your workmanship amazes me! Must be all chicken eggs for breakfast that keep you going

That is nicely timed, I am planning on replacing our old 6’ x 8’ shed next year and wanted to reduce the amount of concrete used, I will be watching this with interest.

It’s great if you just need a gravel or compacted sub base floor. That said, we have just done a concrete floor in there now as it will be used for metal work and other machinery.

You can always use an 8 x 4 sheet to get your square.

RR Buildings U.K style, love it ..Just need a Greg ..keep up the good work..

Thanks for sharing your mistakes!! Its reassuring to know other people make them too. :)

Really enjoy watching. This is more my type of thing building out of your head :-)

I love this build.

Brilliant!!!! Cheers Tim

👍 someone as been watching ‘ RR Buildings’ 🤪

Everybody has 'those days' 😊 -- if you don't build buildings for a living, you don't have that memory from a repetitive task. Any mistake that is caught is OK -- it's the ones that get buy us that will give us trouble down the line. You have the beginnings of a fine shed there mate 👍

I wasn’t expecting another shed update so soon. You’re spoiling us! 😉

A good tip for a flat, or flat ish roof. Is build it all flat and level which is easier than creating an even fall, then use furring strips of chosen depth to create your fall before roof timbers go in for roofing to be fixed to

Should have flown Kyle from RR Buildings over lol. Good job mate.

Great Video Tim 👏👏👌🏻👍

Loving this build...never built one like this but learning so much and started to understand what your explaining as you go...Thankyou! 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕

I love a good square rectangle. lol

If your rectangle isn't square, it's a rhombus

Such an easy mistake to make. We've all done it before. I'd have probably spent half the afternoon measuring and re-measuring the posts until I worked out the problem!

I love it, works fantastic, great price !!!

Brendan ford have you seen their cordless 9 1/4 36volt track capable circular saw. It's a pretty handy and impressive beast.

Good to see the lifting bar got you out of a hole.

Did you need to put any stone over the weed fabric for drainage at all or is that unnecessary?

A one man barn raising!

Using 4x4s and 4x2s is a big waste of money! 2x2s are perfectly adequate. I bought 4x2s and ripped them on my table saw to make two lengths of 2x2.. saved approx £200 by ripping down instead of 2x2 off the shelf.

@TheRestorationCouple

I’m not sure that would work on a post structured shed like this but yes, a 2x2 stud wall can be made nice and strong, although remember the centres would be much closer so possibly not that much less timber.

I'm always a bit sad to see so much treated timber being used on the inside of a structure. Particularly when appropriate control of the moisture level (inside the membrane) through ventilation and/or heating will provide equal good protection for a far far longer period of time (as evidenced by the wealth of historic timber framed buildings still standing through out the country). And I have heard you talking very knowledgeable about damp and moisture control in some of your other videos. There is one caveat to this though....builders merchants often only stock a lot of sizes in treated timber, and it brakes my heart when I need some at short notice and treated is all they have. Apologies for any negativity, I find the channel very informative and inspiring. This is just a pet peeve of mine about the unnecessary overuse of treated timber in the building trade.

I would agree with you on that, especially when dealing with the shrinkage and how that can effect internals. That said, you can’t compare historic timbers in the country with the fast grown softwoods we have now.

11:35 So how long ago did you give up smoking? 🤣 How are you finding the Hitachi/Hikoki nailgun? I'm thinking about getting one as I'm already tied into the Hitachi battery system, but I'm also thinking my new shed build would be a good opportunity to justify a compressor and get an air-nailer.

@TheRestorationCouple

4 жыл бұрын

I’ve had lots of work for mine and it’s great, albeit a chunky beast. Depends how much framing and how remote, as a compressor and nailer will cost less plus leave more money for air tools. I would like a 16g cordless nailer but since buying a compressor recently, will probably try going the air route for that one as much cheaper option.
