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 ❤❤❤

[@anerioone]

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

[@user-gg6zg1fn2p]

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

[@LKQProductions]

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!!!

[@majorssimworld2364]

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.

[@robinr.770]

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.

[@69virgin1966]

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

[@gwebocelestron9194]

I am a woman and have done a lot of woodworking. Two tiny homes, sheds, and a teardrop camper, as examples, over the past 10 years or so. Today is the first time I've seen her video channel. Did not need to see her videos to start my venture into woodworking.

[@69virgin1966]

@@gwebocelestron9194 I'm not saying that"all women"would do that but there is a lot of women that are not in to woodworking that could be influenced by these ladies. I'm sorry if I have offended or upset you in any way. That was not my intention.

[@TheJeramyJay]

@@gwebocelestron9194 the comment wasn't directed at you. Someone sounds bitter.

[@joecascade5105]

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.

[@thegreatestfartofalltime6448]

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!

[@BossmanEight]

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.

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

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!

[@FredMcIntyre]

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

[@mule666]

You girls are having fun, its a joy to watch

[@stallionranchwoodworks]

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.

[@johnbrender7635]

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.

[@ImABoyMom4]

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

[@Antzzz_Manzzz]

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

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

[@rolegames500]

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!

[@ByersLeafguard]

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

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

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

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

Thank you!

[@markmyart]

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.

[@littleshepherdfarm2128]

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

[@tealkerberus748]

Little Shepherd Farm the other option for standing up heavy walls alone is some diagonal props and a rope or chain and some pulleys.

[@billybob8646]

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

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

[@beckysimpson3364]

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.

[@b18citr]

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.

[@MisterTee2010]

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

[@MrSteppingstone888]

That was great... I loved seeing you with your best friend. Its so special when a person has that one special friend. great job as always and always inspirational one way or another

[@Doobie2100]

Nice job ladies!!!

[@richhiway]

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.

Great job April and your friend too.God bless you'll.bye

[@1987shanellpearl]

Very informative! I hope to build my daughter and I a tiny house In the next few months. I loved seeing the "wall part" I definitely learned from that.

[@tealkerberus748]

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.

Greg Plate shows you how much construction I do, I didn’t have a framing square! Hahaha

[@walterrider9600]

thank you little miss and anne

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

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 two girls are so cute together. I wish I had a best friend to build fun projects with! You two are fortunate to have found each other. Cheers!

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...
