Framing a Shed in a Weekend What's the SECRET to Success? Part 1

[@PeteRondeau]

Top plates Gene, top plates and very top plates. 😜

[@74dartman13]

That's gonna be a beautiful shop, when you're done! It was an awesome idea to paint the siding, before putting up all the trim!👍😁

[@DIYGene]

It really did make a big difference.

[@74dartman13]

@@DIYGene yep, I bet!😊

[@Northeastken]

What a great Man Cave, Gene. I can see it being a Stay Cation Getaway Resort by the time you're done! All the best with it. And don't forget, you can still add a 2nd level for that craft lady in your life. That's what i had to do, lol. Motorcycle(s) and workshop on the bottom, Craft area on the upper level. The entire lower interior is tongue and groove pine and the upper has sheet rock and Parque flooring. Got a great deal from a neighbor moving away who had all the materials but didn't get to build.

[@DIYGene]

Oh I would love to see how your shop looks. The tongue and groove sounds really cool. I really want to think about how I finish the inside. I like the rustic cabin look or maybe even some steampunk. My biggest fear is to not rush it and start moving in. Any ideas?

[@Northeastken]

@@DIYGene Heres a partial vid on the lower level. It's a 26x26 2 level Gambrel style building. The Town Assessor kept coming by to be sure I wasn't building a house, lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKCrfquphMSFmLM

[@Northeastken]

My Idea for your place, your ventilation system, LED Lighting, and a great dust collection system and all your great steampunk creations! A Bar also would help lol

[@DIYGene]

@@Northeastken, great shop. Love the wood. Like the bikes too!

[@DIYGene]

@@Northeastken, I like that idea. I’m so excited. I got the trusses up this last weekend.

[@davidquerry8869]

Congrats on the new shop Gene

[@DIYGene]

Thanks David! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be finally starting it.

[@fmlapa]

Gene, what a trooper! Hanging walls alone if need be ;). Love the videos. Best Regards from Portugal!

[@DIYGene]

@@fmlapa, Hello in Portugal! I am having a ball on a new adventure. Thanks for watching!

[@DIYGene]

Thanks so much. This has been a very special project for me.

[@lonewolf56308]

Great build Gene!

[@DIYGene]

Never been so hot yet having so much fun.

[@chrisgallagher85]

Craftsman for the win. Nice. This is terribly exciting Gene.

[@DIYGene]

Thanks Chris, I finally finished it and need to edit the rest of the videos. I’m very excited.

[@johnyang9781]

Nice job!

[@DIYGene]

@@johnyang9781, this has been a wonderful project for me. Thank you for watching.

[@tufalike1796]

You didn't make any mistakes, I see "mistakes" as learning curves on the road to perfection. Looking forward to see the next video Gene (so I can avoid the 'learning curves" for my own projects😉) Your music and your son's singing? Hugs from Belgium - Daniella.

[@DIYGene]

Hello Daniella! I have been wanting to do this for so , so long. I’m like a little kid at Christmas. Well maybe a really hot and sweaty kid. LOL.

[@tufalike1796]

@@DIYGene My son in Baltimore has the same heat "problem", while here at the coast in Belgium it's 58/60 degrees and rain and wind, no sun, kids/families have no beach vacation time... Enjoy your Christmas kiddo, lol.

[@rickhiggins]

You're starting! I'm so happy for my friend! I can't wait to see it. Hopefully I'll be back in the states in time to help you move in! (Then again, it took you how many years to get to this point? I may have to travel some more because you'll have me carrying roof trusses or something. LOL!) I can't wait to see the finished shop!

[@rickhiggins]

PS: Love the music selection!

[@DIYGene]

Thanks Rick, it’s not Spain, but it’s my little heaven. But come on by. Plenty of trusses to go around. LOL.

[@timscanlan1466]

It's looking good Gene and I like the color you picked out

[@DIYGene]

Thanks Tim! I am having a ball!

[@thyslop1737]

Why no vapor barrier btw the studs and the siding?

[@DIYGene]

If I was going to use a vinyl or lap siding, I could see doing that. But with T1-11 I didn’t think it is necessary. But I am no pro at this. I am learning as I go.

[@Squippywhippy]

Just seen your Bauer tool review seen you said you was gonna build had to see if you started yet lol

[@DIYGene]

@@Squippywhippy, I finally did! I have a lot of video, but have been having so much fun working on the shop that I haven’t edited more. Hopefully by the first of the week. Thanks for watching.

[@Squippywhippy]

@@DIYGene great stuff take care 🤙🏼

[@robertwinton2649]

🤗❤️👍

[@DIYGene]

Thanks Robert.

[@thyslop1737]

Commenting at 20:30. Have not seen the whole video. Why not make the doors as tall as possible? Bring the header all the way up to just under the top plate. On so many sheds I only had wished the doors were taller.

[@DIYGene]

I’m going to put a porch on the front and need the doors to clear the porch.
