[@laurawong6065]

Hello. Thank you for the amazing video. Would you mind clarifying one thing for me? It looks like when you put the first rafter up to mark your birds mouth cuts, the board is already at an angle and you are using those markings and your square to determine the angle of the cut - so the calculator is not necessary in the way you did it- you’re using the existing structure (walls/top plate) to make the angle? If so, makes perfect sense to get the perfect cut, but just wanted to clarify, its that simple, lol. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and calm voice with us :)

For me, the ideas in kzbin.infoUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

Building this shed is easy. Being able to afford the cost of the lumber, is another thing.

[@jamesp739]

Great video, thanks! May I suggest that while placing the concrete, vibrate the form boards by tapping with a hammer to fill the voids you see after removing the forms. Makes for a stronger slab and avoids a weak spot that may be penetrated by an anchor bolt.

[@zacharybraganza511]

Also torquing the bolt to "as tight as possible" isn't always a good thing. Expansion of the wedge can cause the concrete to crack which would be a double whammy for the already weaker concrete edge

[@shericreates]

I'm here in the PNW as well. I am rebuilding a shed like this that I had to previously take down due to some rot and construction on the house. I saved all the good wood. I have been procrastinating because I have no idea what I am doing. I can only have it 3' wide and up to 10' in length. Good enough for yard stuff and extra lumber. Thank you for an easy to follow video.

I Felt like I was in a classroom listening to my Professor. Love your method of explaining step by step, how to build this shed.I am planning to live off grid and is interested in learning how to build.

[@andrewjames3109]

I noticed (in the video) you didn’t tamp /vibrate your slab when pouring. This process will help take air out of the slab before curing takes place. You can see this when you strip the form work. Depending where you live, this can let frost or water in the holes in the side profile of the slab, which when frozen expands and can crack the concrete.

[@lousplumbing2042]

I was going to ask the same. I at least stab it with a bar are something

[@SnyderTools]

Noticed that too. When the form was taken apart, there were soo many holes. If you drilled into that slab it would fall apart!

[@osufwiffo]

and poured right over organic roots and material, that thing is gonna fail so damn fast.

[@bobjennings606]

I drew up plans for a 'lean-to' shed a couple of months ago. As it turned out they are almost identical to your shed. You gave me more confidence to begin building from the plans I made. I set the roof angle the same as my house roof angle to match as it will be positioned next to the house. Good job on creating your video.

Great video. Love the shed. The way you are using the framing nailer, it is just a question of time when you will end up hitting a knot and shoot a nail into your hand. You should never aim in a direction of yourself or another person.

[@JoshSnodgrass]

I was a professional framer for years and I thought the same thing. My rule for my crew was always keep the other hand at least 12 inches away from the tip of the gun. That way if you hit a knot or depress the safety and just graze the plate with the nail, you will be okay. We had no nail in the hand accidents using this safety procedure.

I like to put plastic barrier under concrete. It makes it stay wet longer, if it dries too quickly it has a tendency to crack more. I noticed you didn’t run a trowel between the form and the concrete. You have a finished edge, when you remove the form.

[@ichefstar]

Do you run the trowel all the way down into the concrete? Or just the edge up high?

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

I started to build one of these and a few days later some a-hole from the city taped a stop work order onto my house and said I needed a permit to build it. To get a permit I had to submit plans signed by a certified architect ($900) after getting my property surveyed ($800?) and have to use the exact hurricane proof brands of construction materials listed in the plans (its like $6000???) Just the cheapest hurricane door is like $600. Also before I start I'm supposed to dig a foundation, pay a certified bug company $100 to spray bug killer in the hole, call the city to inspect the sprayed hole, and then put the concrete

Pretty well done. The only thing I would likely do different is frame the wall with the doorway after you put the end rafter on. That way you could tie the wall together with it and have a proper king stud. But there really isn't much weight in the roof so it's not an issue.

One-the header over the door is not needed. That wall isn’t carrying any weight from the roof. Two-even if it were, it wouldn’t help. Same as above the window, your headers are just lying on top of the top plate. In order to transfer load, the header should be placed on jack studs, between the king studs that frame the door/window. Then cripple studs placed on top of the header will transfer that downward force across the header and down through the jack studs. Yours are simply serving to stiffen that short run of top plate.

Hi, One idea I've had for a shed is to build it on stilts. If you imagine how decking is built with several posts buried into the ground, a frame built around a level point just above ground level and cut at a certain height for any railings (if present). What I've thought about is bury pressure treated posts into the ground inside concrete and have them extend as high as the roof is needed. Build a base like you would with decking and build the shed from that. This would allow for plenty of air flow underneath the shed and, as like you'd have decking running along to form the floor, you could have pressure treated wood forming the floor. This would negate the need for a concrete base of sorts. Any ideas?

[@lovegeorgian]

I am thinking about posts from foundation to roof too. But I have not seen any videos doing this. I wonder if too solid is not all good. Separating the foundation and the body might get some kind of flexibility. Just a thought.

[@tonymontana897]

These kinds of videos are great for those who have ALL the necessary tools and equipment, but only a pipe dream for those who don't. It's like a builder talking to another builder.

You don't need two screeds. You will find it easier to just get cut your stakes flush. This part was made harder than it needs to be. Also hit your forms with a rubber mallet, vibrator (if you own one), or a sawsall (with no blade), then you won't have voids in the sides of your concrete. I do this for a living, but also watch a lot of videos. Very much enjoyed the video. Well done.

It would have been much simpler to put anchor bolts in when the concrete gets poured.

@@ajamesbertman Footings or any concrete foundation should always penetrate the frost line. Otherwise the structure will be subjected to uneven frost heaving in the winter and conversely settling in the summer. If there is no objection to the uneven frost heaving of the structure, I suppose you could bypass it, But I wouldn't.
