Amateur Shed Build Part 3 The Flooring

[@valentinoriviere892]

I like your video. I found it entertaining .Especially the part where your wife helps you.I’m going to watch all of them until the end.

[@OmegaOm]

thank you very much, I am glad you are enjoying the videos.!

[@Richard-cz4lk]

Totally appreciate you showing your mistakes and what you did to fix them. Well done and useful for us new builders!

[@OmegaOm]

Thanks alot. Glad these vids can help you.!

[@PRLcafe]

Great job. Thank you guys. Beautiful family.

[@OmegaOm]

Thank you! Glad you making it through the vids, hope they can help you.

[@shiningknight5298]

Your real and not fake.....thanks for teaching us to be real again

[@wendellf8659]

A real DIY project. Mistakes, corrections and lessons learned. I've looked at several shed videos and yours is the first that was actually painted. I'm going to paint the floor of mine. Good Job!

[@OmegaOm]

Thank you man. Cant hurt, extra protection.

[@smzee1]

Hey bro thank you for your inspiration man I truly appreciate you. LOve your music as well your all heart brotha!

[@OmegaOm]

wow thanks man, appreciate the compliment.

[@paphillyman]

Thank you very much for all the details , it is helpful that you do tell us that you messed up when you did so others will know to be careful , it looks real good what ya did , can't wait to see the finished shed.

[@OmegaOm]

Np, Glad you liked it. I hope my vids help you to build the shed you want. Thank you very much

[@AK-ff7qq]

It gives a whole new meaning to the word blueboard .

[@chrishelbling3879]

Great job. I hope you took your wife for a spin on that lovely dance floor, before the walls went up.

[@OmegaOm]

No I did not but good idea, I should of at the time. Its a nice dance floor!

[@FyouyaFnF]

I truly admire your efforts. While it's obvious it's your first attempt, with no professional help/input, I think it's fantastic that you dive in and have at it. Nice background music, too. Good luck with your future construction endeavors. You'll be OK. P.S. I realize I'm late to the party, but don't cut off a tongue. Lay your T&G in a line, adding the next course of T&G plywood as you work your way to the opposing edge. Pressure treated tongue and groove, negates any need to paint the floor plywood. Do what you like, of course, and I dig the artsy mix of color on the floor. I'll be viewing the rest of your build. If, for no other reason, than watching someone who knows what they want and is willing to give it go, tiny mistakes and learning experiences, included. Also, smack those nails with intention, or get a pneumatic nail gun and compressor. The latter, will triple your production. Peace.

[@OmegaOm]

Thank you very much FyouyaFnf. And thanks for the tips. It was a major learning experience. a nail gun would of been nice, but I did not have one. Hammering in the wall panels was really a pain, banging my finger a few times. I ended up pre-drilling holes before hammering when I got to the soffit, a little too late. Not painting the floor boards would of saved much time, I wasnt sure if it needed that extra protection. Glad you are enjoying the vids. Thanks :)

[@saraortiz3160]

Man I'm so proud of you!

[@darkfactory8082]

Mmm, some obvious mistakes were made, but learning from those means you're a wise man. =) Cheerz and don't give up.

[@OmegaOm]

thanks man, I learned a lot.

[@Egalitarian-bt7kz]

Nice bird sounds. I don’t do centimeters…

[@OmegaOm]

I do both , what ever matches closer to the measure.

[@cnatale]

Another option when you have different colored paint is to mix all the paint in a large bucket. That way, you'll have just one color instead of many. The mixed color might be nice!

[@OmegaOm]

Good idea to get get rid of all your many cans of little paint.

[@torontoraptors2107]

Thank you for the videos. Brother, how to anchor video pls?

[@OmegaOm]

Thanks man. If you in really windy area maybe use stakes and straps to anchor foundation to ground before you put floor on. but should be ok without it, if you not in really extreme wind.

[@zurcfamily]

Excellent!!!👍😷

[@Mixwell1983]

I think you said 3 pieces of 4x8 were what your plans called but you went 10x10 layout? I thought you said the plans were for 8x12 layout in which case the floor would have gone easier and 3 pieces of 4x8 would have fit exact. For the flooring to break on the joists you should have did your layout 16" on center, i would have framed the outside and joists on that layout and then move the inside blocks to meet the joist layout rather than laying out joists depending on to the block layout if that makes sense.. Anyways good job, I have never built one but I'm moving to an area where i may have some land to do so and I am trying to get ideas. Also in post covid lumber is super expensive so who knows.

[@OmegaOm]

Ya I know. I had the idea of the floor but when I went to making the foundation I totally forgot about the floor boards. Thats when you have to improvise. I would of just put the blocks at the 2 foot mark.

[@pyfinx]

hi sir. great video! are you from a cold area? i am from toronto where it could be -30C in winter. did you shed move around or still good? i am thinking if i need to dig below the frostline or not. maybe you can give me some of your experience since you built this shed? thanks greatly!

[@OmegaOm]

Hi . TY. I live close to you. Check vid i put up called 3 years later. Its still straight abd hasnt moved. Dont have to worry about frost line if you build it on top of ground.

[@pyfinx]

@@OmegaOm thank you sir. appreciated it!

[@hectorperez7655]

if is a man-made mistake, it can always be fixed :))

[@valentinavictoria1254]

add an extra joist... so much easier instead of all the cuts.

[@OmegaOm]

Yes, I guess I should of done that. For sure.

[@peterscustoms3900]

12:53 looks like your dog was eating some glue there... :-O

[@OmegaOm]

Nah, he was just being noisy

[@natividadtorres2149]

Why didn’t you put cinder blocks in tge middle of every area?

[@OmegaOm]

What do you mean? I think there are enough blocks on foundation

[@UncleSarkis]

The shed doesn't get secured to the pier blocks right? Is that an issue?

[@OmegaOm]

No still level after 2 winters. Only if tornado got under it. If you live in open terrain with very high winds you could always tie straps to the joists and spike them into the ground.

[@UncleSarkis]

@@OmegaOm thank you!

[@kevinbingley6618]

Let's go BLUE JAY'S !!!

[@kevinbingley6618]

Greek flag erla malaka. Taste of Danforth weekend hey oh!

[@krystlschraeder3247]

Hi. Would I be able to use the same math you used if I wanted build just a single slanted roof? And how much did all the supplies cost after you finished building the shed?

[@OmegaOm]

A single sloped roof would work too, and you mean the math of the angles's /Slope, ya you can use the same slope, a 4/12, or you can make it steeper if you wish, but not less steep. The Shed in Canada at the time cost me about $2300 in materials. You can save lots of money, by using 2by3's instead of 2by4's and by using a cheaper alternative to the expensive panels I used.

[@cougargold]

I wouldn't have glued those floors down. Yikes. Just screw them and go in case you ever have to get back in that floor for any reason.

[@OmegaOm]

Good point. Makes sense. If you have to replace a board. I got that glue idea from somewhere else.

[@101egals]

Just for FIY it would have been better to cut the bottom of the grove side off instead of the tongue. That way you would have a place to place glue the two together.

[@everettclark6632]

Thanks I lear a great deal from you

[@OmegaOm]

Thankyou very much Everett.

[@BearStar1]

In the USA , we say '' 4x8 '' !!!

[@seymourscagnetti1413]

Video mark 13:11 = Photo Bomb Alert!.....Photo Bomb Alert!....Photo Bomb Alert!

[@MuffinMan0521]

Instead of glueing and nailing the panels down just use screws.

[@OmegaOm]

Maybe you could get away with that. I was just going by what I seen most guys too. The glue is cheap anyway, cant hurt.

[@MuffinMan0521]

I agree. To expand on this if you just use nails over time they can become loose making a floor squeak. Using just screws saves time by not dealing with glue AND nailing. I think you'll probably be safe with gluing and nailing.

[@OmegaOm]

good idea just use screws. probably would have if I would of got those 1000 deck screws for $22 earlier. Either or good I assume for shed.

[@r8wells]

MuffinMan0521 the glue helps to keep the floor from squeaking while walking on it
