I am learning the techniques that is being used to do the job.

[@jamesbeecher4431]

Love your stuff down here in Elmira, NY ... You break things down so even goofs like myself can fallow. . Got 2, well really 3 questions. You are working on the premise that code is 10'x16' maximum exterior size. BUT you are going to be a little big. How thick is your sheathing? ... Let's assume .5" --> example Smart Side ~7/16" How thick will your trimming be? ... Let's assume .75" --> example 1x6 (or 1x4) #2 pine . So, you cut the floor joists at 9'6", with the 6" total for the rim joists. That will put you at exactly 10' before the siding and trim. 2 sides of siding = ~1" 2 sides of trim will = ~1.5" So your total outside dimensions will be 10' 2.5" deep and 16' 2.5" wide. . Is that something your code guy will freak over? . Also, when I've built sheds, I line the corner seams, under the trim, with 5" wide butyl tape to seal the corner seam beneath the trim. It helps keep driving rain from getting under the trim and into the seam. 5" tape gives you 2.5" on either side of the seam. . So, including the tape, and an anal code guy, wouldn't it have been better to cut the joists at 9' 3" & rim joists at 15' 9" to account for the siding, trim and sealing tape.

I find it funny how often, when I'm preparing for a DIY project, that I am looking around and seeing different approaches, but I always come back to your channel for a kind of "reality check" to see what the best way is to do it.

Great video and great teaching. I appreciate the fact that everything doesn't always go right but you fix it and teach when you do it. Thank you!

Working on my own 12x16 shed now. I was shocked how close my foundation was to how you did it. Way to go

[@travyb4608]

Big fan of yours Jeff. 10 x 16 is what im building right now. I went with 2 x 8 pressure treated for my joists and 9 holes in the ground filled with 40 inches of concrete to support the decking area.

[@charlesthomas8590]

Jeff, love the way you show how to do a build, repair, etc. You not only teach but lead by example. I always come away from watching your videos with more than I start with. You are one of the best on KZbin if not the best as far as I am concerned sir.

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

The timing is impeccable. Just started thinking about building myself a wooden shed using what we call tuffblocks, and here you are doing exactly that. And as always, concisely and clearly explained.

[@OldFramer]

Quick tip for flushing the rim joist. If you put the screw or nail into the top of the inner joist and use the claws on your framing hammer to leverage the outer joist down (like you're trying to pull the screw) having the nail gun at the ready to nail when flush you don't have to worry about the angle screw holding the two boards apart if you happen to have to back the screw out a bit to flush up.

[@ArsenalFC-hp7xr]

Good video. Thanks for being down to Earth and not overcomplicating the process needlessly.

[@user-fo4ve5fo4z]

You mention over building your structures, to help them last longer I'm kind of the same way. One thing is I pay attention to specific details and one you overlooked that I do for a shed or deck is to remove the sod from under the deck area. You mentioned moisture from ground contact but there is also moisture that will dwell under the building just from the ground below it. Like if you park a car on the grass and leave it there for a few years it will be completely destroyed with rust under it. If you park the same car on top of a tarp on the grass the car will be considerably better condition after those same years. Clear the sod under the shed down to the hardpack and then lay some plastic sheeting and cover it with sand. This will eliminate the ground moisture from affecting the underside of your structure. This applies for pressure treated lumber as well because even pressure treated will last longer in a better environment and so will any nails and screws.

[@tinhnguyen-gk9on]

Jeff is jack of all trades.! LOL He can paint and he can build shed foundation. He pulled nails out of his pocket!!! So awesome! Respect the hustling@!

[@user-ge8kq5ow8d]

Totally love this guy. Great carpenter, great communicator.

[@salvadorvalladolid2076]

Enjoyed this much. The greatest thing about it was the positive attitude towards the minor mistakes. Thx for sharing. I'm currently drawing up a shed (8'x12') I'm leaning towards this plan here for the base.

[@andyprairiedog4829]

Very well done, sir. Makes me want to build a small shed for my tools within the next 3 weeks now...yeah, in the winter.

[@JohnUllrey]

Great info, pulling the crown down on the outside joist with a screw was pretty cool.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers John!

[@jlr1487]

@06:00 the marker line on the saw table is smart, reminds me when I line up putter and golf ball. Thanks Jeff !

[@d3w4yn3]

Holy shnikeys!!! That technique for pulling down the bow on the outside rim, that is mad genius! Every time I watch one of your videos I have a "HOLY SHNIKEYS!" moment or two!

[@ablam8]

I use a long clamp, or two.

[@stans5270]

I like the way that you think. I used the same flooring system on my shed 20 years ago using 3/4 inch plywood. Over time the edge of the plywood bends [flexes] between the joists. In normal house building, there are two levels of flooring used with staggered edges so that doesn't become a problem, but neither one of us did that. I think some of my "Edge Flex" can be attributed to ground moisture seeping up [as dew dissipates from the ground and grass] over the years. I would suggest blocking where the edges of the plywood between joists. 2X4s or 2X3s would suffice to do the job. Also, make sure the space between the fence and the building is large enough to get a mower back behind the shed. Using a string trimmer to cut the grass in back of the shed will get tiring after two months.

[@FamilyAdventure11360]

Hi Jeff, Hope you’ll have a project in the nearest future in building something like this for a shed but in a steep slope at the back. Thanks so much.

Not gonna lie, your son has come a long way learning with his legend of a dad. He quietly learns his lessons and I can tell he secretly enjoys it. Thanks for being such a great team. Especially the camera angles.

[@jasonbeisiegel5550]

Man, this guy is the king of making it up as he goes, and making no effort toward finding best practices. Case in point: he thinks driving screws into end grain is stronger than toe nailing fasteners. That is framing 101. Not to say there isn't plenty more to be improved in this build. Follow his advice at your own risk. Sometimes there is a creative approach that can be honed into a workable solution, but it is lost frequently C grade hackery.

[@Sparisland]

Really. Simpson probably has 5 structural engineers review and test their joist hanger screw pattern but 3 nails and a GRK screw must be superior... in Canada. ;-)

[@jasonbeisiegel5550]

@@Sparisland, he also didn't size the beams appropriately to the span. He can say it's just a shed, and he isn't required to observe code because of the location, but if he isn't using code or engineering he's just guessing. Even if it was a deck it would be grossly undersized, and that wouldn't account for the weight of the walls and roof, or the, now relevant, shear loads. It is just a shed and you shouldn't overbuild it, but that doesn't mean you have to build it poorly.

[@2654tyrepower]

Its just a Shed !! Great workmanship well done.

[@Brian-os9qj]

Practical and simple system of structure that some of us will use, because it looks possible and professional

[@d3w4yn3]

I could see you, waiting in the foyer of a high-end restaurant, running into somebody with a construction t-shirt, and right then and there, you'd start drawing a diagram on the side of the restaurant wall!

[@user-nl4nk1se2n]

Just like a cinematic gun shootout, you never seem to run out of nails in your nailer. xD nice work. I think this is going to be my next project because a storm destroyed my aluminum shed.

[@bobski.personal]

Been enjoying this. I appreciate the balance of code vs reality vs manufacturer data. In the video you have 4 blocks and in further videos it's apparent that more were added. I might have missed that part. Anyway, can ya comment on how many you eventually found appropriate? I'm planning a 16x16 and very much agree that manufacturer data seems like crazy overkill. Just wanted your input on what you found to be a happy medium. All the best.

[@TimGallant]

Yes, block spacing/placement was one of the big reasons I watched this particular video. I'm watching other people, and the way they do it is pretty obviously complete overkill (e.g. a bunch of blocks beneath every joist). Still trying to figure out a spacing system that is realistic.

just remember floating foundation means you're creating a home for wild life. Mice, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, snakes etc. Even if you block off the sides some animals will dig underground to live under the floating foundation. I've seen mice eat and raccoons dig right through plywood flooring also.

Wood screw to join plate to joist ... Just something that I've done which works for me ( though it may appear unsightly ). I use a washer with the wood screw inwhich the head of the screw stays on the outside of the plate ( without sinking the head into the plate ) and PULLS the joist tighter into the plate.

[@dialdude]

Love the videos. I am always going back and watching again, guess I am getting up the nerve to do my own project. A question, just seeing the layout you show for the shed, seems the fence is way close at the corners. I am trying to reduce my maintenance time in my yard (getting a mower in there, etc), so I suppose I can just position mine farther away, or not angled in the corner of the yard? Thanks for the help.

[@WoobieLT]

Great job! Given me ideas... But why is the fence you built -- the boards aren't level?

[@ghostridergale]

Funny talking about slopes in the yards, I’m a speciality contractor and I bet you be surprised how many properties I’ve seen landscaped sloped towards the home! Some actually look like a house built down in a bowl! Personally I never understood how they get away with landscaping done like that? You know whoever owns the home going to have troubles with water getting into their foundation or worse basement End up having to dig deep trenches around the house and funnel the rain water away from the house! I don’t think most people think about that when they’re looking at buying a house? Know one guy that built a house down in a bowl and it started raining right after the house was finished and next thing they knew they had water coming up thru the floor. They didn’t install a sub pump to automatically drain the water when it senses water getting too high under the home’s structure. Unfortunately they learned they needed to install a sub pump under the house in the water and mud. Then had to replace all their hardwood floors that warped from all the water! Btw, hope you don’t have chickens running around, they’ll love getting under your shed and making nests to hatch their eggs! I had to enclose all around my shed to keep the chickens from getting under the shed. Surprisingly the chickens dug 18-24” deep next to my shed to get back under the shed again. I ended up pouring cement around my shed in the ditch the chickens dug to keep the chickens out!

Awesome video! What model nailer is that? Your link above is for the pneumatic version. Which is this cordless version?

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

I thought when you showed the fasteners, you were going to use them. Is all of the lateral movement of the building going to be held by three screws through some 2x4s?

[@mojodojo5533]

Seems like a weak connection if your talking about rim joist to post.

[@RussHatfield]

Agreed. He talked about "overbuilding" but that seems to a key place where he didn't do that (unless I missed hardware or some other technique).

[@misjudgedbeauty]

I really enjoy your videos and as a single mom I look forward to building and renovating on our home with your help,but I also want to say the way you were holding that nail gun towards the end of the video,(even pointing at your abdomen) made me so anxious 😂

[@alexb5177]

One more thing. If you decide to use a nail gun for nailing joists or studs, always start your nail pattern from the bottom and work up. That way you can move the hand that you're holding the lumber with away "before" you shoot that top nail. I have seen people shoot themselves in the hand when that top nail skims over the plate.

[@kanento]

Those blocks look pretty cool will save my back vs the concrete blocks

[@knl7392]

Enjoy your videos! I’m curious if there a minimum length of 4” x 4” post in the camo block to support the joists?

[@JayBear-fv7be]

Awesomeness Jeff and Son! But question: would it be better to put 2 extra blocks in the center to prevent sagging?

[@austinwilder6425]

I think that’s why he went with the 2x8s instead of the 2x6s should hold up better structurally over time

Hello, thanks for the great video. :) What are the black plastic 4x4 post footers, used for the foundation named?

[@davehalsall6390]

I am wondering when (if at all) you added a mechanical connector to join the rims to the 4x4 columns? I noticed in subsequent videos, the entire structure seems to be simply "floating" on the top of the 4x4s? If not, curious why? and if you did add a connector like the Simpson one you mentioned, did you just jack it up to sneak them in at the end of the build? Thank you very much for all your efforts to pass on your knowledge and experience, very much appreciated.

[@ricardo-iw9sq]

I like the idea for the footing bases but I would of had 3 per side an put noggins in between the joists and had 2 more bases in the middle just to spread the load and settlement once you put stuff in side.

[@cumbaja3456]

That makes sense , that is the way i would do it as well. The perimeter wall is carrying the weight of the wall and the roof. A proper drawing is the best way to go.

Thanks for the great video! Awesome information. Currently building a foundation for a chicken coop with your method here.

[@DaleBradt]

@HomeRenoVision - Jeff, I'm watching this DIY How To Build a Floating Shed Foundation and I'm looking at where you use a "Stabilization Block" to position, attach and stiffen up the frame to the 4x4 posts. I can't tell in the video but I'm thinking after you put the outside rim on you still have 1/2" protruding to the outside. Is this the case? Or is a 1/2" shim put on the inside so the 2nd rim is flush with the post?

[@larryhack4038]

Looks great but I would’ve killed off all the grass or vegetation under the shed and removed it or put plastic down with gravel or gravel over the dead vegetation with the weed fabric I think leaving the live vegetation underneath it’s just gonna give you problems in the long run. But other than that, I like what you’re doing and really like the camo block.
