Happy to find your channel back... lost it in space 🙂funny thing, yt gave me this video as an idea, and at the beginning i was thinking how does that guy (you) build op the shed into a tiny house.. and then you came in the intro shot 🙂so 'm going to check out your older video's ...

Next time your sheet good is short scab a 2x4 to the joist to carry the edge of the sheet good.

[@MrZZeroG]

We did that on the last piece, but didn’t show it. Next time we will run it the right way! Perpendicular to the joists.

[@Lollylobacres]

It would be best practice for this project to make sure you sealed the bottom boards laying on the plywood. This will keep hot air from escaping and if mixed with seven dust or at least sulfur powder will keep bugs out of your wood kiln.

[@kevincorbin6273]

Typically run T&G perpendicular to joists

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for taking us along

I am at 11:48 into this video! I found myself screaming at the screen "NO"! You need floor joists! If you simply nail those plywood sheets down onto three beams, you will regret it. They will begin sagging in the middle. Plus, they will not support as much weight. The three runners/beams look sturdy enough, but the space between them is too wide. 16 inches is all you really want to span! Ok, update! I am now at 35:49. I can now see I jumped to conclusions prematurely. Good job on putting in floor joist. Oh, and by the by, I had no idea you purchase subflooring that was not 48 inches. So don't beat yourself up too much.

[@MrZZeroG]

😂 I thought someone might do that.

[@Incaensio]

Sold floor 💪

[@christophermorin9036]

Bloody hecc, I was doing HDD transfers and Missed the start of Project OVERKILN?!?! I'm SORRY DONNER! I'll watch it now!

[@billmccord2117]

15:45 Did we have a little Michael Jackson moment? LOL

[@MrZZeroG]

Now search for the one glove scene. 😂

[@randygoodenough3422]

You guys really need to put down some waste logs and then put the rest of the logs on them so the logs are off the ground . As the logs lay on the ground now, they will break down sooner by not drying out and drawing moisture from the ground . Also, always when checking your nailer for jam/misfire disconnect from air or battery ... You'll thank me if don't and shoot a 16 penny nail through your finger like a friend did .

[@MrZZeroG]

Yes. It’s on the list, but we got so behind when the tornado hit that everything delayed. We will be moving some poplar logs for the siding and hopefully we can deck all the pine. We did deck a bunch of the cedar as they are much easier to lift with the tractor.

[@richberg404]

Are you ever going to finish the house?

[@AAdams-nd1pj]

This is part of the process to get dry, straight boards for the siding

[@alexanderthegreatjustalex]

Despite pressure treated wood, I'd still hydro insulate it from blocks.

[@darthgbc363]

An itchy trigger finger is the cause of double shooting.

[@kennethwilliams7522]

FYI-Snakes love the dry, warm shelter of a solar kiln. Just beware and welcome their rat/mouse patrol abilities.

[@MrZZeroG]

140-150F we will have snake-kabobs. Thanks!

[@danielpolk9808]

I'd be wary of snakes and other critters setting up house underneath the plywood

[@jasonpizarro625]

How do you put plywood down without no floor studs, the plug was gonna sag

[@MrZZeroG]

It’s screwed/glued to the floor joists and the 2x2 spacers.

[@TheRaker1000]

The nailgun is bouncing too much when it fires. The nail comes out with a lot of force and you can tell you aren't bracing hard enough when it bounces. Try putting a bit of your weight into the back end with your off hand right as you pull the trigger.

Or.....Get a Milwaukee!
