[@kurtispipkin955]

Jeff, I love your videos! I'm a civil engineer, with a father who is a residential contractor. I say this to add even more meaning when I say everything you show in your videos is the best info on the internet for homeowners. You give the correct, yet rational and cost effective, advice for anyone watching. I always refer to your videos for myself and anyone else who is learning home remodeling skills. Keep up the great work! One quick, nit-picky note, shouldn't your toe-nailed screws into the double 2x4 rafter start on the outside of the column? This will put the screw into the meat of the lumber, not the weak end grain? Other than that, I'd sign off on the rest of your work! Cheers!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks for the critical eye. LOL. Cheers! At the end of the day the t-11 siding will hold it all together, so I am not as concerned about those tiny details. I designed this build for homeowners so they can make mistakes and still have a great result that lasts a lifetime. Cheers!

First time home owner here. My wife and I bought a house in the last 6 months. The way you explain instructions is so simple and easy to follow. Definitely look at your uploads before I do any kind of projects. Thanks!

[@marklyon2633]

So I've been tossing around building a new shed. I want a workshop/space for all my tools. Free up the garage and whatnot. I wasn't sure how I was going to go about it. Get a kit or something. I watched through the original shed build video last night. I now know I'm going to just build one myself. Love your content. I'm an avid DIYer and have some skills. Your videos just help me keep adding tools to my toolbox. Thanks again!!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers mark, glad this was helpful. !

[@williampenrose696]

Jeff, I've watched a lot of videos, and I LOVE that you explain everything. Measurements and where to put the supports, you deal with the complexity of how to handle warped wood, you talk about what type of screws to use, I mean I built a lot of things but I'm all DIY learn as you go, and little questions can cause costly mistakes if I guess wrong, ur instructions take the guess work out of small matters and big important matters. Thank you Soooooo much for being thorough and not doing things off camera just to make it appear everything was perfect the first time.

[@scottwijohn4977]

You explain everything so well and understandable your a good teacher be good to do apprenticeship with guys like you....some people just don't have the time to teach anyone these days it's all about getting the job done thankyou for your time to teach us especially while your working multi task I learn alot from you thank you....

[@shericreates]

Thank you for this series. I watched your other shed build as well. I made a comment on one of your lives. I had to remove about 90% of the shed that the previous owner built because of water damage. I saved as much lumber and hardware as possible. The shed shared the house roof. The shed is only about 3’ deep about 11’ long. One thing I do need is a big double door to swing out because of the width. It had a sliding door before. It was a bad design and always got stuck. Plus it was not secure. I was thinking of painting the siding in advance because it’s late in the season. I will also be building this by myself. If you and April can do it I think I can too! Thanks for your awesome help!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

You got this Sheri. Just be happy with your work at every step before moving forward. Cheers!

[@Thee-AmateurAn94]

Recently I applied the method of running the drill in reverse to predetermine the path of the fastener in an unorthodox install and it worked flawlessly. My boss was stunned. Thanks for the tip Jeff.

[@Thee-AmateurAn94]

I’d usually pre drill which would irritate my boss because it took too long but by eliminating that step I found he was satisfied as was I. Let me know how I can buy you a beer. Cheers.

Hi Jeff, Loving this video. I am looking to build a shed in summer 2023 if lumber is not insanely priced. When you are finished this shed can you please to a job summary video with costs and man hours estimate for for shed and deck separately.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That is a great idea. I will talk to the team to get a materials take off and a summary video is on the way!

[@IndependenceCityMotoring]

Building a budget garage video series would be awesome.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I agree. Cheers!

[@CARLOSTREUIL]

I spent a few years with a local Boy Scout Troop helping them build various outdoor structures. For cutting 4X4 posts I made a right angle circle saw guide that was basically a 2X2 and a couple pieces of 1/4 inch plywood. (Think a 2 dimensional homemade saw guide for cutting sheet goods.) We would clamp the guide to the marked 4x4 using the plywood edge where we wanted the saw kerf. The kid would let the circle saw ride on the 2X2 shoulder on two sides of the post. When they were cut we would have the scout relocate the jig to the opposite side at the saw kerf. Teen age boys could safely cut 4X4 s with accurate results.

[@MintStiles]

The screw on angle bit is awesome!!!

[@klintaustin21]

Inspirational as always! Excited to see the finished product!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks so much!

[@ohiofarmer5918]

That angle way I'd drawing crowned wood together also works with driven nails. A sixteen d spike has about three thousand pounds shear strength if memory serves.. I always use them as draw nails when needed. To eliminate splitting when close to the end,set the nail head on the framing and hit the point with your hammer

[@nohandleisagoodhandle]

Jeff never fails to both educate and entertain. I can relate that my measurements, whatever they may be that day, aren't so great after lunch either.

[@Candisa]

"Oh, it's only a tiny space, it only needs one door" This is a great example of a design that shows why that's wrong, not having to do the stuff-shuffle to get to that rake or the mower is a real pleasure.

when building always think of ways to avoid traffic areas to maximize the actual usable space. Cheers!

[@Crazypug-eh7xi]

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

You got this! next week we will show you the metal roof system for folks that don't do sheet metal. Cheers!

[@notcharles]

A 'trick' I use when cutting across a 4x8 piece of plywood or siding etc is to put/move the cord over to the edge across from the start of the cut so the cord doesn't get hung up behind me part way through the cut. Especially helpful when cutting along the 96 inch leg!

[@mouradi8002]

You are amazing, thank you for showing good techniques

[@jimkane9832]

Unless you have a fair amount of experience with a circular saw I wouldn't recommend the overhead one hand on the saw one hand on the square technique. Take a couple extra seconds and clamp the square and put two hands on the saw.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

great idea Jim!. Cheers!

[@truthbetold1855]

Yeah, I knew a guy that got kickback and the blade went in his face. Not pretty.

[@DrLoveQc]

I used a clamp also for my deck I was afraid to get a kick back. In fact I made a jig with 3 sides, like C shape, so I just clamped it on the 4x4 and was easy to cut with only 1 measure and a clamp.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

very nice.

[@steve4628]

I would also add, using a high quality clamp, like a Vise Grip ratcheting clamp. Those things have serious clamping force. Use them for metal fabrication all the time. Just be careful welding around them as the pads will melt, but are replaceable.

The floor on our shed is bowing and cracking and needs repair. It was like this when we bought our house this year. Id love any advice on how to fix this or what videos to watch to repair it.

[@ufxpnv]

I mentioned in a previous video that I was building a house using a steel building and structural steel. If anyone asks, wood is about 10 times faster if you use a nail gun. I just passed my structural, electrical and rough plumbing inspection. I can now put up the drywall after I install the internal wrap to load my walls with blow-in insulation. I have 11-5/8" walls to fill.

[@LIBERTY0RDEATH]

You can also set you 2x4s on the beams and take a torpedo level and make a plum line at what overhang you want. If you want it flush make it flush. Although it is nice to cut them on the ground. The level method requires no math.

[@BBQ_kevin]

One safety tip for cutting with the square as a guide. Use a clamp to hold it, and you can keep your hands safe. Also wear your proper PPEs. Glasses, hearing protection, and a mask if you do not want to breath in that chemical injected sawdust.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Is there anything the speed square can't do? Very enjoyable to watch.

[@amac9245]

When you redo the back fence and fix the retaining wall, might I suggest you reinforce the wall with a raised garden bed.

that wall need a weeping system to allow the drainage of water or else it will need to be replace every 20 years!

First rafter he set, which is the second rafter in should be set at 15 1/4" then 16" there after, so when you sheath the roof with 8' material, it Starts flush to the face of the first rafter, and center on 7th rafter at the 8' mark. This is how you frame all floors, walls, and roofs at your starting point. What ever common centers you use 12",16",19 3/16" or 24" always subtract 3/4" off the end of the beginning surface.

so each time you need to unscrew the handlebar to fold it over the mower? kind of slow process and hard to bring the mower folded in the shed with the steep ramp. I do this but at fall to store it and use less space.

[@fifagoalz904]

@@DrLoveQc save loads of room space only needs to be 4feet then

[@DrLoveQc]

@@fifagoalz904 yeah save space a bit but on a shed like with a dedicated door and space it is good to keep it assembled. I would maybe only modify the height near the tools room to make it smaller just to fit the mower under it so you get a nice extra storage space niche over the mower. Just keep the height for the handlebar portion. But great idea on this shed, I use my garage and I dislike to get the grass/fuel perfume in my garage all summer.

When I build a shed I don't waste space with studs I basically build shelves with backs I figure that a 1/2 inch plywood 24 inches deep is stronger than any studs since my shelves are maximum 16 inches apart it makes a very strong wall in most municipalities sheds don't need permits I all that I've been in do have size restrictions the last 2 were 144 square feet they both had no height restrictions but I've found 8ft is practically the max height you can get access to all but the top shelf without a ladder the municipality I'm in now the maximum size is 100 square feet so I'm going just under that so no matter how by-laws measures it it's not over
