[@julieniemeyer925]

I love the way you do your sponsor plug-ins along with your video. It isn't as much of a disruption, yet it still is "right there." Excellent job.

[@rickcimino5483]

the thing to do is first cut the house wrap just like you did but then fold it into the widow opening and staple it down. Don't cut it flush, it provides another barrier to moisture. Then go over with the black tape starting at the bottom (sill) and then work your way up. I would have also suggested not using silicone on the bottom of the window on the inside. If water gets past the silicone you put on the outside (bottom) you want it to drip out, not collect in that gap between the two silicones. Probably not going to be that big a deal anyway because you have a pretty big overhang. But wind may blow water at those windows. Looking good either way. Nice shed.

[@bighammer3464]

Where would the water drip out of if he didn’t use silicone on the inside? Didn’t you see how there are wood pieces supporting the acrylic which was installed from the inside?

[@LutherBuilds]

Agreed. I have wrapped windows before and this is correct. I would lay it on the sill of the frame first and work it into the corners then wrap it on the outsides.

[@GenZyannd]

no, just cut it flush with a sharp knife. (unless you are not going to use zip tape). always tape the sill first and run 6 inches up the side. * it is ok to cut the tape at the corners. then tape the sides, and the top. then u can cut 4 butterflies to seal the 4 corners. and moat importantly, *** roll the tapes to activate the acrylic adhesive.

[@mr_voron]

Ok, the fact that you matched the tempo of the nail gun to music is rad AF. Used your video for making the gravel pad, stayed for the rest of the build.

[@timpgod]

I ce here to say the same... Rad.

I came through Tennessee the end of may and heard and seen all the cicadas… I was happy as a kid in a candy store.. they make my favorite sound it reminds me of a time in life when I didn’t have the worries of an adult… summer nights as a child sleeping with the windows open and my dad was still here with us.. I understand how it cld be a problem for some of you especially with the double brood…

[@jgrywacheski]

Appreciate the excitement you get when something works. It's very relatable.

[@artyb27]

Man I _love_ it when a DIY creator I follow posts a perfectly timed video

[@richb7524]

Great job!!! I made my shed base following your vids- bought the shed tho. Oh btw, the term you're looking for is "stop". Mullion is a vertical piece between windows, muntins are the bars that make up a decorative grid in a window, mullet is a type of hair style and mutton is sheep meat. Window terminology can get pretty tricky.

[@MarshallLoveday]

LOVE the corner miters - more esthetically pleasing. And with your assembly method, I think even I could do that.....

[@turboflush]

I like to leave 1/8" of the square corner with miter. Gives kinda a shadow line.

[@MickelMart]

I appreciate the time you took editing the you-nails to the beat of the music. 👏

[@robertkerby2581]

I really like how you mitred the trim-molding thereby making it look more finished! I like the super clear, plexiglass windows and trim-moulding on the inside of the shed! The doors turned out great, and I especially like the spring loaded pin holder on the inside of the left door. I cannot wait to see the next episode with more of the finishing details. Well done!

[@stevelacombe5291]

The top and bottom of the windows are most critical for sealing, so cut the house wrap so you can fold it back to the inside at the top and bottom. You can cut small pieces of wrap for the sides and then use flashing tape starting at the bottom and go upward. Window sill pan flashing is also a good idea. You can buy adjustable PVC pan flashing that can be cut and glued to fit.

[@Martin_Brown934]

I usually use screen material around the base and inside the soffits. Not only keeps mice or rabbits out but also keeps bees/wasps from building nests under sheds or getting inside. But I’m in the northeast so things may be different.

[@shawnduffy279]

I thought the exact same thing, MD for reference, and using this on a shed I helped my father build 40 years ago. But then I had another thought. If he used a home building technique called monopoly framing I believe, where the exterior wall sheeting runs to the full height of the rafters. So where you usually square off your OSB/sheeting at the top plate you continue those to your ends and your peak. Then you add the overhangs as a boxed extension and attach it to your sheeting. roofing sheeting would extend to just the far edge of the sheeting from the walls. Creating an overlap; like a flashing. Then use building wrap or vapor barriers etc. This not only keeps out the bugs and other unwanted guests, it better insulates the inside of the shed. In a place where it gets as humid as Tennesse, this will reduce humidity build up in the shed which we all know is better for your metal tools.

[@Abcd-w9j]

Love the mistakes that 99% will make and how you tackle them. Great video!!!!

[@thekiwinomad]

Here in new Zealand we use packers in the corners of the windows and door to prevent any stree on the taped seem. The doors and should also have a header and sil flashing along with the jamb flashings. Even with a shed this is standard practice

[@rsfields2009]

You want the house wrap on top of the windows to lap over the flashing tape. It's not that big of a problem as your windows are close enough to the soffit, but any water that might get up there could run between the wrap and tape and get inside. Just a tip for next time.

[@urbanlucky98]

Does that really matter? Cause with the zip sheeting system I've seen them also just put the tape like this. So that would give the same "problem" no? (Purely from YT, we don't have zip where I'm from)

[@danlake7970]

@@urbanlucky98 Water doesn't get behind the zip sheathing. He used regular house wrap here, which if it were not so close to the roofline could get water or moisture/condensation behind it. The tape he used forces that water to go into the wood/wrap/tape area rather than drain down or over a flashing.

[@urbanlucky98]

Great video, Brad! Haven't seen one of your videos in a while but I'm really impressed with how much the editing and production has improved since the last time I watched. You're crushing it! Keep having fun!

[@sus8e462]

Funnest shed build video I've seen--but as a few noted, recommend you use the weather seal tape around the door & threshold--those are more likely to get wet then the windows!

[@rwg727]

Thanks for sharing. I would definitely build a ramp for mowers and carts and tractors. I would recommend using a push stick on that table saw!!!

Seeing your shop always inspires me to go clean up mine. So here I am at 430 am about to go clean my shop up some before gym and work. Thanks for that Brad. 😂

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

sounds like a good morning!

[@micknill4]

Your window flashing is great. Before you add your siding, make sure you cover that gap between the soffit and house wrap. Otherwise the water will drain right into the osb.

[@HandymanLand]

This is the best detailed shed video I've seen. Nice job!

Something I've noticed since moving to Middle Tennessee... it rains. A lot. Like, almost every day for a month! And yes, the cicadas are oppressive. My mom was insisting there was something wrong with my car and it was making noise, when we stepped out of the car in a parking lot, she said "OMG, you're right, it's the cicadas!"

[@jesselove3715]

Absolutely love the video, thanks for including your mistakes instead of whitewashing the content, learning how to handle mistakes on the go is so important and its nice to learn from your mistakes as well! Is that plywood floor not pressure treated or are you putting aluminum sheeting against pressure treated? i thought the deck ply ought to be treated and aluminum gets destroyed by those chemicals. Looks like its not treated though.

[@scottmorris4914]

Its looking good, its going to be the best looking Garden shed. You ask for suggestions….. When you trim the wndows, you want the top piece to overhang on the ends, the width of the sides. The sides should go from the bottom of the top piece to below the window the width of the bottom piece. The bottom piece goes from side piece to side peice. this it help width the water flowing down at the bottom, and doesn’t stop on the bottom piece. The top piece overhangs over the sides to protect it.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

yep, that's what I went for. not sure I got it 100%

Nice shed. I work in mine, uasly just in the front with the door open. It gets really hot. I have big vents in both side of my shed and it helps keeps the stuff melting in side. I think I would of put soffit vents above the windows in your shed.

[@DaveBennett]

The lock works, but anyone with a screwdriver can undo the hinges and they're in. I'm doing a similar project and am using heavy duty door hinges and mortising each inside the frame and the door so both sides are hidden from the outside. Skewer 10 of those cicadas and toast them over an open fire for 5 minutes. Crunchy! 🙂

Hogs don't sweat. Pigs don't sweat because they have few functional sweat glands. To keep cool, pigs use other methods such as: Panting, Peripheral vasodilation, Wallowing, Sleeping in mud, and Swimming in water. Nice work! Looking good....

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

well i have a bone to pick with whoever came up with that saying then, lol

[@neofactor]

@@Fixthisbuildthat The expression dates to the days of industrial steel production and refers to pig iron, which was shaped in molds that had the pieces branching off to look like piglets suckling on a sow. Once produced, pig iron was not cool enough to move without burning anything it touched until it reached a point at which water vapor condensed on its surface, producing “sweat.” Hence, “sweating like a pig.” As for the barnyard animal, it doesn’t sweat much-not when there’s some nice mud to keep it cool. So if you said ... "sweating like a pig" you would have been technically correct.

[@willbass2869]

You should paint both sides of the soffit. That prevents moisture from the "top" side migrating through the board and causing the painted side to bubble or alligator.

[@HungLikeScrat]

That was brave leaving OSB exposed to rain. That trash swells and never returns once it does. We're in the process of siding our house and we had so much damage to the little bit of OSB sheathing they used that I'm surprised the house didn't collapse during strong winds. We're using plywood sheathing instead of the OSB and foam board that was originally used when the house was built.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

well that's definitely why I went with the house wrap! Cause I knew it'd be a while before the siding went up. But that stuff on the doors is just trash scrap, so don't care if it got wet

[@williamellis8993]

Looking good, Brad. You really had to overcome your ECD to build this. I did, however, feel bad for that ghost deer that was hit by lightning. Bill

[@rashkavar]

As someone who lives in British Columbia (in a region that is a literal rainforest), I'm firmly of the opinion that you can never have too much weather proofing. For windows, there is a proper procedure that is required by code in places like BC for habitable buildings - obviously a shed doesn't have as high standards, but following code is best practice for anything you want to last as long as a house. Probably easy enough to look up if you were so inclined.

[@kanisnealon5062]

Am I the only one who thinks he did the handle backwards? I like it aligning with the lock so when it's vertical, its unlocked (the locking mechanism is vertical) and when it's horizontal, it's locked (locking mechanism is horizontal, covering the other door)

How about soffit vents to vent out any fumes or smells you may have in your shed … also on your corner pieces you could have cut one narrower the thickness of the wood to make both pieces appear to be the same size

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

will be putting vents in the side walls which will let air flow better than trying to force hot air down out of a soffit. And yeah, could have ripped it short, but texture wouldn't match

[@FredD63]
