The good 😊: an all around excellent installation in a craftsman-like manner. And I learned a couple of techniques I will surely use. Well made video. The bad 😢: the extension cord connection! The NEC states that extension cords are not to be used continuously for more than 3 hours at a time and they are not rated to supply other permanent devices in this manner, all for safety reasons (i.e. fire hazards). I'll also mention that you are likely to experience voltage drop and nuisance trips on the house outlet/ circuit supply the shed. I recommend asking a licensed electrician to help finish a very cool project. 👍🏿

Do I need to use pressure treated lumber for the frame? I have a hardi panel and trim I plan to put on the outside and osb sheathing in the inside

I like your solar panel build right outside your shed too ...

Thank you so much for the informative video! I recently purchased a 12×14 shed and a couple windows for it at a yard sale. I can plumb anything but this will be my first attempt at framing windows, so wish me luck!

I did this and a wind gust pulled the board loose from the door.

Did you use same nail gun for roof and siding?

I don't like the latch on the door, since the wind could close the door while I am inside the shed and lock me in! I would use a traditional door knob. Great video otherwise!

This is one of the best explanations for how to calculate the dimensions to frame a roof I have ever seen

do not use bleach on mold . use vinegar

I like how you show how to do cable management with in the box. It’s a much better way than I’ve always have done it. Very clean.

How did you attach the decking board at the top of the ramp where the 2x4 ledger sits? The top of the ledger surface wouldn't be parallel with the ramp boards.

Excellent. Everything was very clear and easy to understand, with one exception: I couldn't quite follow what you said about pigtailing the black wires in the switch box near the door.

Nice video, thanks for posting. I plan to build the same shed, however it will seat on a concrete pad. Could I use 2x4s instead of 2x6 for the foundation? Thanks

Good job very nice work. I think that in some areas the way you put the Romax connector to the outdoor outlet. The first one you’ve connected the extension cord to it may be against CODE or at least you’re in California, in some areas it is.

do you have any tips for making this same shed, but with only 6 foot walls (or close) and a lesser roof slope? I want my over all shed height to be as low as possible (nosey HOA) and thinking that 6 foot 2x4s will somewhat simplify cuts....

one of the best shed videos anywhere. very well done.

Thank you for this. I'm planning an 8x12 build on a sled just like this with the addition of a man door on the window side opposite from the barn doors.

Thanks, great job on the video very helpful and yes letting the water have a exit is s great idea, I like it.

Another great video, you make it look easy lol

Shed door

by window seal do you mean flashing tape? there are a lot of things I would do to make these sheds better if I was to buy one... the first thing I would do would be to buy all the lumber myself, and just follow their plans LOL

This helps a ton, also, what is your solar panel set up in the background for?

You failed to use a 20 amp rated plug...not to code anywhere ("T" slot plug).

cutting angles are my weak point. This has kept me from getting a good sturdy ramp built to my shop I built 3 years ago! Finally I now have a way to cut the angles thank you so much for this video

Thanks for the video a very good job. I watch many videos and they didn't get me to the point where I understand now I do.

This is super. Wish I saw it before doing mine. I did everything and was bolting down the decking boards, only to find uneven joists and it looked horrible. I have taken the boards out will redo the joists by using shims on each and then cutting the bottom of the joists. Thank you for sharing- I was puzzled.

Would this hold enough weight to have a zero-turn mower come in and out of the shed?

Great build. Very helpful thank you!!🙏

Really enjoy your approach to this. Was wondering though, do you see a lot of sag over time when the door is made from a sheet of siding? I fight with fence gates and screen doors, but wondered about a sheet of siding.. Thanks for the straightforward videos and excellent audio production! Always look forward to the next one. 👍

Criminals can gain access by unscrewing your hinges and stealing your chainsaw.

Awesome vid, might use your lock and door sagging kit for my doors or change my old doors as well. Thanks

I would go with sheathing on the back of the door. Much sturdier and better than the tension cable kit.

Excellent resources for nearly any shed. The sill nosing is an awesome idea. That wood takes a beating over time. Great video. Thank you

Aren't you supposed to install the windows and/or doors before you install the Smartsiding?

These are really some of the best produced videos of any genre on KZbin.

Love all your shed videos bud, you explain things so well. I'll use your techniques when im ready to build my shed!

Planning to build a 10 x 6 lean to shed on a concrete slab … can I use 2 x 6 for the floor frame and joists and 2 x 4 ‘s for the roof ?

if it is out of square, how is it possible to tap it into square when everything is already fastened together?

The term you need to use with your door is "plumb". Level only applies when running perpendicular to the ground. The third option to prevent door sag is running a 1"×4" wood compression brace going from the side with the lowest hinge to the upper diagonal corner on the opposite side. It has the advantages that it doesn't require adjusting all the time, it's cheaper then the sag kit, and it's close to the same weight as the sag kit. Otherwise a great video.

what if your scrape piece of wood is shorter than what you used

Good video

I had to watch your video again, because I am building a new garage. I will be installing windows for the next few days. Have you ever had a problem with this window leaking from the top? Some people install a new construction window to the framework. Then they put the T 1-11 siding over the window flange. Other people may choose to install the window after the T 1-11 siding has aready been hung. Which do you think is best?

Great video!!! I have a question about the spacers. If you use 1/2" spacers, wouldn't the doors bang into each other? b/c if I measure the width minus 1/2" (divided x2) to build the doors, wouldn't I need 1/4" spacers? I'm just checking b/c I'm about to build my doors and I want to make sure I double check these measurements. Thanks!!!!

Excellent thank you

Your ventilation system looks impressive. How would you use this on a prnt shed? Thanks

Guy should only be allowed to wire up dog houses feed from a 6 volt battery. You can never use a cord in place of permanent wiring method like conduit or an aerial feed using triplex cable with listed clamps.

Learned a long time ago to install receptacles inside of sheds & garages 4 to 5' off floor. Honeoners almost allways block lower recepracles with heavy boxes, bikes etc.

I bought your plans for the 8 x8 shed but need to make it 10 x 8 how much more material do it need?

This was very helpful. What thickness plywood did you use? Thanks!!
