I DESPERATELY need a home. I am going to have to figure it out myself. I don't have the $ to pay anyone and have no construction knowledge so I cannot express how much your vids are about to help me. No one thinks i can do this. That said I HAVE to. I have 3 very very very special reasons why I have to make it. I didnt survive being shot and an addiction to loose the only thing that matters to me ....nope. Momma has gotta get this going here. Im so excited i just got the land to build on but i have a VERY small budget. God willing this is going to change our lives forever. What you ladies are doing is AWESOME & from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU ❤❤❤

looks like you had a fun time doing this. People don't understand how much fun building can be.

As someone who's help built over 130 houses for Habitat for Humanity I'm impressed with your efforts. You can be on my crew any time.

Awesome work ladies!! You're both an inspiration. My 10 year old daughter loves watching you both and she enjoys getting out in the shed to build stuff too.

Just recently found your channel and as a young woman I have to say I'm incredibly inspired and happy that you have a channel and share your knowledge with us!

Watching you two makes me smile. You’re the best guys ever and inspires me to do this myself. Thank you

The pointers for taking time lining things up to perfection is noted. I am learning and paying close attention. Thank you so much for this.

As always, great video April...Now I'm a fan of Ann too. Can't tell you how much you have inspired me and my girlfriend to get into being creative and becoming makers. I just started on my shop build after collecting and buying all the tools a good woodworking shop needs. Keep em coming.

April, you are an absolute BEAST! And I mean that in the most complimentary way. 😉 I wish I had HALF the woodworking skills you do. I LOVE your channel!!!

You guys did a fantastic job. I love how its nested back in the woods. What a trooper to go up and help out Anne, that's awesome. Looking forward to the completed project.

I just learned more from this video than I did in the past 5 hours of watching builds (yes, I watched builds for 5 hours dont judge me haha) Thanks for the informative building!

Great job to you and Anne! 👍👍👊👊 Glad you had a fun time April! 😃

Just SO MUCH awesomeness. The dead shed will be compost in six months in Seattle, but better 86 it so you don't get termites. Square and Level! Modeling EVERY project is very important for strategizing, an even for later for reference. You guys KICK BUTT! Great pic of tools used. April, your narration is Exemplary. This build is SO much fun!

I actually met Anne through Aprils Channel. Love you both girls. Merry Christmas. Love and best wishes in 2013. God Bless

You girls are having fun, its a joy to watch

You guys are great!! I just love your positive energy, no matter what it is I get a real boost watching it.

You two are about as matched pair as it can get. I'm sure that if a lot of women watched both of your channels there would be a lot more women in woodworking. Thanks for sharing and God bless

not too worried about being offensive, in the union carpentry trade the ladies don't last very long. Few years at best , then they move into the offices to shuffle papers or exit the union. It is very physical.

Bump mode!!! What a great video. I really enjoy watching you two building together. What a fun project.

Muy buen trabajo ... Y valla que saben hacer todo perfecto ... Esperamos la otra parte cuando esté listo.. bendiciones

You ladies are amazing. Much love and respect ❤️🙏🏼

You did great! And it looks like you had a blast doing it! Love the videos, thanks for making them!

Great work, can't wait to see the finished build with your commentary! Love your videos, I always learn something!

Thanks for posting. I've been wanting to build a shed and this will be perfect. I'd use the same foundation for you did for the same reasons, and really liked how it all came together

I personally have 2 chargers for my battery tools and often use them at the same time. I also have some solar panels that I just need to finish off so I don;t draw any electricity from them or my fridge inside my house. The more we do things like that the better our planet will be in the long run. Love your shows April and Anne! Great job in framing. Piece of advice: IF you are alone and doing the framing first build your walls then add your siding. The weight difference is huge. I used to do a lot of siding back in the day all by myself and I'd use a 2x2 or 2x4 and nail it along the edge of the outer floor joists so I could just lay the sheet of T-111 right on it and level it and nail it in from there. It holds the weight so you don't have to. Love ya girls! Great videos

Wow! Amazing work💪🏼 can’t wait to watch more of your videos. I am beginner woodworker currently.

Another motivational video! Thought from the arm chair - design/build the back wall in 2 sections so just the 2 of you can work it.

Knowledgeable and likable, killer combo for youtube. Great video!

Have seen this build on both channels now. Great job, ladies.

I just found your channel today and I love it. I love that you are so determined and have such a drive to do everything. #girlpower

Wow.. Just wow. Long subscriber here. I have to say.. You guys..pardon me. You woman have displayed quite the skill here. Not to mention attention to detail. You lady's should be proud of yourself.

You have a great talent. Great work,excellent sketch up and informational video.Try not lifting such heavy loads,you are going to wear yourself out before your time. It's all fun and games when you are young. Also if you put blocking between the floor joists it tightens up the floor structure. Good job on the floating foundation,small buildings do just fine this way.

what an amazing video! Concise and simple with the visuals that perfectly matching what you're saying

Hurricane Straps are good for extra support for attaching Floor Joists to your Skids. In addition to toe nailing. I've used them before and make good sense. Especially in High Wind Areas...

You are great, both of you. Want to see more like this, and will show this to pupils to inspire them.

No teachers have given this confidence to me like you, Two very young girls. thanks.

Nice concise explanation of your project. Extremely easy to follow all your steps.

Great video! And it looks like you two had a blast building it!

Our 1466 sq ft tract home in California is post and beam construction, with outside perimeter foundation, but there are no joists. It's just 1 1/8'' tongue and groove plywood laid right on the beams. And the beams are 4 feet apart! Very bouncy.

Nice tiny house build April! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

This is in my top 3 favorite channels. thanks for the videos.

Awesome and inspiring... it doesn't have to take forever to build a livable space on my mountain land. thx.

Thank you for this. We’ll be building our own tiny house starting next week 😄

I built one with the same foundation concept. It was nice because it keeps it off the ground from snow and water. Also, minimized insects climbing around it.

You were doing super great and very professionnal by yourself April.....

Found your channel from Shannon's home improvements channel, pretty cool to see some bad ass ladies building and doing it for themselves

Awesome. Great to build such a meaningful project with a friend.

we just got the tiny house plans and notice it doesn't have a list of materials. With watching you videos and the plans I think we got this. Love your videos.

Great work, thanks for taking the time and sharing.

I live just North of Seattle! Hope you enjoyed your stay.

You are bigger than any project. God bless you

your channel has got so big in the last year.....good work

Very nice. Good job. I would have put bridging in between floor joists(to spread weight loads) and used tongue and groove plywood . Don't know how cold it gets there, could have used poly and insulation in the floor?

Great work April and Anne

Shanell Pearl something I've found from this and other trade skills type channels, you'll learn more from the comments than you do watching the vid. Safety, tie-down, waterproofing - these lasses have done a pretty good job, but there are a number of points where the consensus is they could have done it better.

You guys are awesome love the teamwork

Excellent work and easy to understand.

LOL, I had to rewind several times to understand what "house syrup" was before I figured out that the speech to text tool was misunderstanding "house wrap". Great build, thanks for sharing the details.

"it is just way too fun building things with friends" I wish I knew that feeling. I tried remodeling my house with my brother last year, he bossed me around to the point where I stayed away for over a week because he was psychotic. He flipped on me because I paid an engineer for advice. Now I'm finishing my kitchen, ceiling and hallway by myself. Took a year for me to even get back in the groove to want to finish. Nice work April.

After building your shop, better than most houses, you're a great builder and a great maker. I'm looking forward you building a grenade shaped tiny house. :)

April, I love watching your videos. They are so clean and the sound is so clear. Are you using wireless microphones or maybe Bluetooth mics? Can you do a video on your camera and Mic setup?

run the speed square down the joists before putting in the middle and bottom nail to ensure that the joist is straight.

Great work rose!

on your openings wider than 4 ft you need to install double jacks for strength...great project

I must say,...you are awesome.

Already watched the build, but still had to watch the lovely April Wilkerson version! Oh and I let the bf watch it without me this time hahha he’s still alive, I promise.

OMG so great to show girls are capable of doing any damn thing!! congrats girls!! AMAZING JOB!

I'm not sure how much wind you get in the woods there, but where I live, that whole house would blow off the beams since you only toe-nailed it in. I have to use metal brackets to attach the joists to the beams.

So far so good, i like it. Thanks.

No need to wait to install the second top plate. Just leave the plate on one end short and the other long. When you stand them up, just lap the long end over the lower top plate of the adjacent wall. Tip: If boards have a slight crown to them, assemble them so that the crown on the lower top plate is the opposite of the upper top plate. When nailed together, the two boards will work to straighten each other.
