HOW TO BUILD A SHED

[@dennishanson1598]

One of the first video's I've seen to walk you thru the entire build. Down to all the right cuts to make for the roof line. Excellent Job.. Thanks so much

[@MT_Homes]

Thank you Dennis! I appreciate your recognition of the details.

[@gwei4571]

Amazing! I can't believe that you complete the complex all by yourself!

[@MT_Homes]

Thank you! Was a fun project for sure!

[@englishmovies7465]

Still watching.. here.... from the philippines...JOSE

[@gregorymandile2321]

[@MT_Homes]

Thanks Gregory!

[@gaylemcgee2221]

Awesome job!!! Now I want to build a shed next to my existing shed. I can't wait for the 4th video. Thx 4 an informative and easy watching video!

[@xvnvx4475]

First off I want to say I love the video boss thank you for the information I just had a question how do you find the measurement for each piece of gamble? For example I had a 10’ wide wall and was wondering how to find those dimensions.

[@MT_Homes]

Thank you. That’s a great question but unfortunately the answer is very complicated and would be difficult to explain here. I will put it in the list of video tutorials I need to make.

[@daviddrennan1759]

Man thank you for the mockingbird. I havent heard one in years. And i just rememebered i missed it. 😃

[@MT_Homes]

Awesome. Very cool bird for sure.

[@tomj528]

Q: What's a "tu ba for"? A: Layin' down that sweet bass line! Great video, fun to watch and educational.

[@MT_Homes]

Haha. Haven’t heard that one yet.

[@DaBrute]

Gotta use all those tuba force😂

[@tomj528]

@@DaBrute If you think that's a good one, when I was in high school I worked at a hardware store. One day a guy that was in a huge hurry came in and said "Can you show me your cock?" I was kind of shocked and half laughing asked "WHAT???!!!" Then he raised his hand in the air and started to squeeze and open it and yelled "Your cock, your cock, show me your cock!" I was like "what the hell" but after a few more seconds I finally figured it out..."Oh, CAULK!"

[@greenhorn223]

Awesome video like always always full of lots of information thank you for sharing and have a happy Thanksgiving

[@MT_Homes]

Thank you, Scott! Happy thanksgiving to you as well!

[@AhJodie]

[@kimuseni]

[@eliovalenzuela9710]

Exelent Job

[@carlosnunez322]

Hi there, great job , i also decided to build one just like urs , ur videos are been so much useful , just would like to ask u for the sides and degree cut for ur trusses? Thanks ,

[@MT_Homes]

Thank you. I gave the length and angles in the videos when I cut out the trusses. I believe it was part 3.

[@flaschemg]

Beau travaille .

[@gradyfarmer1255]

You are very skilled .Great video

[@FHZAF]

Keep up the good work

[@PowerHouse2013z]

[@Mr.Caring]

Well done

[@paulflores4218]

[@juanantonio674]

Lindo trabajo mi amigo.. Tengo que hacer una pequeña ampliación y con tu video creo poder hacerlo.. Saludos cordiales desde Patagonia Chile.. Mi ciudad Coyhaique región 11..

[@MT_Homes]

Gracias. ¡Lo mejor de lamer con tu construcción!

[@syncrosimon]

Not bad for a first attempt 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@elpapaupa838]

Can you please tell me how much was the cost on material to build it love it good job

[@MT_Homes]

Thanks! I had $3500 in materials.

[@chiller19100]

Great video. Just curious, How did you come up with a 20 1/2 degree angle for the cut where the two pitches meet? Thanks.

[@MT_Homes]

Thank you! Not sure if it’s the easiest way but here is how I figured it. Add the degree where the bottom rafter sits on the wall (26 1/2 degrees) to the degree of the top rafter at the peak (22 1/2 degrees) which totals to 49 degrees. Subtract the 49 degrees from 90 degrees which is 41 degrees. So the angle difference where the top and bottom rafter meet is 41 degrees. You want to cut half that angle on the top rafter and half on the bottom rafter so you divide the 41 degrees by 2 which gives you 20 1/2 degrees. Hope this answers your question.

[@chiller19100]

Got it! Thanks a ton

[@Waynegoproductions]

Did you go with 2x4x16' roof perlins so you could stager the joint/splice?

[@MT_Homes]

Don’t remember for sure what length I used but yea, definitely offset the joints.

[@tom-bw6cw]

Really enjoyed this, but I’ve never seen a roof like that shape before!

[@MT_Homes]

It’s called a Gambrel roof. A lot of old barns have it.

[@raymondray3232]

I love Gambrell roofs. Classy style. Great job man

[@MT_Homes]

Thanks Raymond!

[@superseven220]

In Europe they call it a Dutch barn roof

[@aheathc]

They’re very popular in my region (Oklahoma). I like the traditional yet steeper pitches roofs but (I may be mistaken) these roofs offer a significant amount of more loft space. And if you’re like me you need every possible usable square foot of space.

[@Wakeywhodat]

I don’t know any bird in my region that has such a complex sing\call. VERY impressive, having said that, sometimes it’s a bit much. You can holler at them and they leave. Lol

[@MT_Homes]

I enjoyed it, actually.

[@sylviohache3467]

Just a question. I see your floor and cealing ate done with 2x4. When should 2x6 or 2x8 be used?

[@kerrymccaughey5506]

How will the exterior wall facing the house be painted ? and how will the house wall facing the shed be painted in the future ??

[@williammitchell8247]

The house has vinyl siding... doesn't get paint. The shed has metal siding... probably wont ever need paint either.

[@tonymartinez7478]

OMG with the music!!

[@codyadams5966]

You should make a show you do good work I do this kind of work to

[@MT_Homes]

Thanks Cody! I will do more of these videos as I can for sure. Finding the time to do it is my biggest hurdle.

[@will0127]

@0:05 Never reliealized until a friend told me about mocking birds. Notice that sound pattern? Good ol back in the day car alarms... haha. Fun fact

[@deboz8793]

Just curious. Is it possible to keep the wood from splitting at the end as it had when you installed the rafters? Or is it just the way it is and the additional nailing is will help to hold the rafter in place? And I’m loving the building series. Thanks for sharing your build. 🤗

[@MT_Homes]

Depends on the wood. More smaller nails are usually better than fewer large nails. Like using 6 8penny vs 4 16 penny.

[@NTSRFR4]

You can put a nail in with a hammer, but first you need to flatten the tip of the nail, or the pointed part. This flattening of the nail tip has always worked for me to keep from splitting the wood.

[@polkod]

Geeze brilliant. That’s not a shed man that’s a personal gym for me.

[@Tomhohenadel]

How did you get a building permit, when you are building under a power line. Certainly would be against code here.

[@MT_Homes]

No building permit needed in my area because it is not considered permanent. No foundation, not anchored down, etc.

[@jaymomo7462]

Impressive and you didn't need any help wow!

[@mrpanda4081]

What was the total price of this build?

[@MT_Homes]

Materials cost me $3500

[@robertbelknap]

Hey that bird on the telephone poll is a Loggerhead, they eat insects, let him see you throw out some mealworms, after a couple times he will eat them out of your hand.

[@raymondray3232]

You pretty much built a house bigger than my studio apartment

[@ML-lg4ky]

I wonder why they just use trusses and build out from the existing building.?

[@SamuelSanchez-Mz]

How much did you spend here?

[@MT_Homes]

$3500

[@chrisgriffin7455]

Do you have plans for the shed .?

[@MT_Homes]

No. Unfortunately I don’t.

[@coltonsegerruoc5162]

Am I the only one who sees that giant llama on the hill when looking out of the door way? Lol

[@crusader777]

You soundeth of amish descent my friend

[@MT_Homes]

Hmmm, wonder why. 😉😁

[@borntwice4724]

Let me guess you’re a painter by trade ?

[@MT_Homes]

Nope, just a carpenter. Although I do paint on occasion.

[@webadage]

Um... you're not building rafters, you're building trusses.

[@MT_Homes]

Rafters consist of top plates only and are normally built on site. Trusses consist of top plates, bottom plate, bracing, and are normally built in factories. What I built has a top plate only.

[@webadage]

@@MT_Homes I disagree but perhaps it is a regional thing. A rafter is a single piece of lumber with a plumb cut at the pitch angle where it meets the ridge and a combination plumb/level cut aka a bird mouth near the bottom where it meets the plate. It may also include an over hang extension that includes both a plumb cut and a level cut on the end to accommodate the cornice.

Mocking birds are so cool.
