@@stormorsheds2970 why would the customer add electricity down the road? The outlet will be too far.

While raising my children after their mother took off I built sheds like this during the day while the kids were in school. It paid the bills. I could do one like this in a day when I was in top form. Larger free standing dutch barn style might take me 2 days or so. I ran an ad in the newspaper year round and took orders via phone. I'd load up my van and build on site. My prices began at $300 for an 8x8 with unpainted plywood sides. I think the most expensive was around $1600 for a 12 x 16 barn. I built the trusses on the floor deck once it was completed, then built and raised the walls and truses, roof and trim. I had it down to a science (as long as the customer let me alone I could knock them out fast). Fond memories of my younger years. I'd get my kids to help me paint trim on sawhorses on the weekends. I was getting 2x4's for $1.39 and panels for $3.88. I probably couldn't build one wall for that kind of money, now.

Nice job! I notice flashing used between the house and the shed strictly depends on the caulking to keep the water out. Expansion and contraction between house and shed will fail the caulking. The floor framing appears to sit on the gravel. Eventually, the floor framing will rot from ground moisture.

@stormorsheds2970

3 күн бұрын

Thank you. The flashing is used to seal the shed itself off not to keep water from going between the house and the shed. Rain water will be able to run down between the two structures but won’t be trapped behind it. The silicone used was just to cover the exposed nails used to fasten the down the flashing/metal. There are pressure treated skids under the floor sitting on concrete patio blocks. We’ve built our floors this way for 40 years without issues. We also offer a steel base for folks who would rather have steel over wood. Appreciate the comment, hope you enjoyed the video. We have lots more on our channel.

@@stormorsheds2970 Thanks for responding. I live in Wisconsin. The reason I responded was I had a small shed that was right next to my garage. (Not exactly like yours but somewhat similar) I replaced it with a much bigger 12x14 stand alone about 20 feet from the garage. Anyway when I tore down the little shed, the vinyl siding was moldy and the bottom 1x10 sheathing on the garage had an area that was wet and punky and had to be torn off and replaced. Not rotted on the plate or studs but sheathing was bad. Also the top of the block of the garage foundation was degraded and falling apart. All right where the shed was. I think the moisture sat there and was able to wick up a bit for years. SW exposure maybe had something to do with it too (?) Yours was closer to the main structure and may not allow much driving rain or catch lots of snow to sit on the roof and against the main building to melt and drip down between. Lots of factors, I will check out your other videos too!

@stormorsheds2970 From the very beginning. You used untreated lumber which is in close contact with the ground as well as ACTUAL contact with concrete or concrete products. Secondly you NEVER put 2 finished walls back to back in an outside environment because that is inviting mold and mildew into the airspace between the walls. It doesn't matter how close you get those walls to each other there WILL be airspace ! Thirdly you don't put asphalt shingles on roofs under a 2/12 pitch and in most areas cade requires a 3/12 pitch for asphalt shingles. Fourthly you put your flashing from roof to wall UPSIDE DOWN ! This flashing should have been tall enough to go under the horizontal siding on the house. It also should have been sealed on both buildings. Anytime you have a wall to roof flashing where the roof is under a 3/12 pitch it MUST be sealed to the roof to prevent rain 'blowback' from getting under the flashing. My guess on your roof pitch is somewhere around a 1/12 to a 1 1/4 /12 pitch. That low of a pitch on a roof in most places will ONLY allow either metal roofing or rolled asphalt roofing. Then fifthly your door! You NEVER mount a door flush to the door trim. It's inviting rain to come right on in. A door should at worst be mounted flush with exterior siding and at best inset half the thickness of the exterior wall. I'm sure I'd I paid closer attention I could find other things wrong here. I'm not telling you these things to be mean or spiteful. I'm telling you from my lifetime of construction experience ! I very seldom get critical with someone on a public forum but I meant what I initially said ! If you keep building things this way you will , you WILL , eventually end up in a lawsuit over it and it won't be just the price of the shed. It'll be over damages caused to the existing structure. I've seen it happen before to people who chose not to listen to good advice. Take my advise. Hire someone who can TEACH you proper building methods or take some courses on them . Better yet , join an apprenticeship program ! I learned under a father who was highly skilled in construction and yet cared enough about my education as a carpenter to INSIST that I complete all 4 years of an accredited apprenticeship program. Best of luck guys. And there ARE people out there who are retired or semi retired that would love to be able to work with yall a few hours per week to share their lifetime of knowledge. And MOST would do it at apprentice wages !
