[@JohnDoe-mt2sy]

Hi, internet expert here. You started well enough but definitely want to use wood glue and screws so it never moves. Then wrap it in chicken wire, and cover with cement. This will aid with EMP shielding and slowing the bullets for when the feds come.

[@ColdAddict]

I would also suggest weaving space blanket in between studs before hanging the wall sheeting for optimal blocking

[@RonnieStanley-tc6vi]

No tinfoil???

[@tylerstewart9693]

Chicken wire should work for the EMP. Tin foil is a must to protect from the 5G though.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

[@qapla]

Nice video. Like seeing the family helping. Tip: those small blocks you used to flush the walls to the floor - if you would fasten them to the outside of the floor before you raise the wall, not only will it help you flush the wall, but it also makes it so the wall can't slip off the floor when lifting it in place. Also, if you undercut the base plate about halfway through where the door is going before you raise the wall. it will make it much easier to finish cutting that piece out for the door opening since the saw will not have to drag on the floor to cut that board.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

great tips, wish I'd read your comments first, lol

I'ce watched several framing videos over the course of the summer. I'm looking to do a similar project for my mower and tools. Long story short, this has been the best framing video I've seen by far for the lean roof style shed. I also like the part where you taught your son how to use the nail gun. I always come back to your videos, and this is one of the times, the youtube algorithm got it right. Positive vibes from North Carolina friend.

[@jackknows6509]

Brad, obviously we see you all the time through your videos. It's nice to see your family and how supportive you all are. Great job to you and Susan for your parenting and the proud support of each other. Oh, and the shed is looking great!!!

[@devinflint5554]

I'm enjoying that both you and Home RenoVision are doing sheds at the same time. I like seeing where you use similar techniques and where you are taking some pretty different approaches.

[@reforzar]

I appreciate syncing up the music and the tools. Nice job BR.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks, dude! All credit to Chris

[@BlazeHeroic]

As a wall panel builder, I can say for sure you were doing at the very least the front wall the hard way. It is usually easier to nail the stud packs and headers together before you put it in the wall. Then you don't worry about awkward angles with the nailer and is guaranteed to be flush and straight if you are vigilant.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

that's a great tip...I'm a amateur at shed framing but I'll use that next time!

[@BlazeHeroic]

It's also infinitely easier to sheathe it before you stand it if you are standing it some way other than human strength.

Hope they were really meaty misteaks. Pro-tip: When tipping up your wall? if you’ll put some flush blocking at the outside of the bottom-plate?, It will keep it from leveraging or slipping off the edge… Allowing less people to be involved in tipping up the wall.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Great tip!

1:50 got very lucky with this about 10 years ago, only a brad nail but it came out side of wood and skinned the side of my thumb so little it went through some skin but didn’t hurt a lot. Scared the sh*t out of me. Was using the brad nailer everyday for years so I got to comfortable and wasn’t thinking about saftey. Also the only time I can even remember putting the nail on such an angle it comes out the side. Only takes once, thank god my thumb wasn’t another 1/4 inch the wrong way.

Great job when your standing your walls screw a couple of blocks to the exterior of deck to stop your walls from slipping of

[@BenNawrath]

Lookin good, I like the lean-to look! One thing I've done is sheath the walls while they're laying down with the appropriate overhang on the bottom. That way when you raise the wall the sheathing registers on the side of floor joist. Just nail it on from the outside and it's all flush. Then nail down thru the bottom plate. I guess you run the risk of that bottom plate not being perfectly straight... Honestly not sure which is best haha.

Awesome video, Brad! I'll be needing a new shed real soon because the roofing has just about had it, and it becomes an insect haven in the summer. Since we tend to have termite problems, and we're in a hurricane zone where I live, I don't want to have to pay for two types of pest control, and it has to be high-wind resistant. We're looking into composite which is infinitely more expensive than wood, but will last a lot longer in the end.

[@milkywayan2232]

You are an enthusiastic guy with a videographer who is easy on the eyes. I too am a guy who has over done a thing or two in my life. Framing in the future. Assemble your king and Jack stud assemblies on top of your bench. Just as you did your header on top of your bench. Much easier. And you only have to attach through the top and bottom plate to the king stud. I would also rip the OSB filling for the 2 x 6 sandwich a quarter to a half inch less than the width of the 2 x 6. (Five to 5 1/4 inches) Fasten it to the inside of one of your two by sixes with inch and a quarter screws, inch and a quarter nails, or something similar. Not everyone will have the luxury of your bench and clampS when assembling this.

[@JCWren]

You mentioned possibly parking a tractor in there. Something like a Kubota BX2601 (a typical compact tractor) weighs about 1632lbs. If you put ballast in the tires (as you should!), you're adding about another 400 pounds. If you assume a 50/50 weight distribution (which it will not be), you're looking at 500lbs per tire. The contact area of the tire is small, which is going to give you a fair amount of pounds per square inch. I don't think you really want to do that on a plywood floor. You probably won't break through the plywood, but you'll definitely be flexing wood.

[@darren2461]

Scrails man, for one off projects like this always use scrails. Scrails are framing nails that fit standard framing nailers but can be unscrewed when I realize that I’m an amateur and have nailed something in out of square, backwards, upside down, or out of order. Much faster (and cheaper) than traditional screws, but saves you from the pry-and-cut technique.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

is this an actual thing? I feel like I would have heard of these before...but if so that's awesome

[@AdamOneTwo]

@@Fixthisbuildthatthey sure are! When I built my 12x12 shed this summer, I used scrails from Beck. I am not a smart man so they were a godsend for me haha. Made the same mistake you did about not making the center wall flush.

[@chrisaguda-brown4826]

Nice add. You sound sincere.

[@clutteredchicagogarage2720]

I am a DIY guy who has done similar small framing projects- decks, sheds, kids’ tree house, etc. As a non-pro, I use screws for everything. It takes longer, but it’s easier to fix mistakes or make changes. Maybe you decide that you want to run some conduit later and put in an electrical box but there’s a stud in the way. Maybe you want to add a window or a second door later, etc. Also, when you’re doing DIY framing, you probably already have a drill but you don’t own a pro framing nailer. Yes, You could hammer in your nails, but that’s even more work than running screws. If you already have a cordless drill/driver, that’s all you need to frame with screws, although I have a separate drill and also an impact driver.

[@The42Joker]

Your Edgar Wright audio editing was not lost on me. Like in Baby Driver. Unless that is NOT what you were doing. But that whole rhythm of the nailer and the music, was fantastic!

“Mistakes were made.” Been there, done that. Just learn from the mistakes and carry on. You seem to do good work on your other projects.

[@lblbuilders]

you may want to check what the required setback is on your property…I know it’s a little late now, but I live in a rural area of tennessee, and made a similar mistake. if you are ever questioned, remember it was that way when I moved in!

[@bonesrhodes3762]

--- when I bought my land in a rural part of Harrison county in Mississippi, they had just enacted a very basic county wide code - but they offered a "3 acre exemption" which removed the code regulations for properties over 3 acres: and it was permanent as long as you owned the land. No building permits required; no inspections; and the only requirement being that permanent structures had to be a minimum of 200 feet from all property lines. You basically just signed a statement saying you understood that if you sold the land / buildings that any lender that required inspections would not lend money of the property. It was $25. First thing I did was go get one and I still have the land almost 50 years later. After building 3 houses, several barns, and numerous outbuildings through the years, I pointed out to one of my friends who works for code that they were scamming folks: he wanted to know how - I pointed out that the area of a circle 408 feet in diameter is exactly 3 acres so legally the biggest thing anyone could build on a 3 acre lot was a building 8 foot to a side and then only if the 3 acres was an exact circle and you centered the building . His reply was : " I'm going to forget you told me that."

[@lblbuilders]

@@bonesrhodes3762 that sounds like a rule they would make up here…simple and useless. the only thing that requires inspection in my area is if you need to add or modify your electrical, and that is only a cursory panel inspection. it is quite the extreme from my former city where codes people felt like they where structural, electrical and mechanical engineers who knew more than anyone and “cared” more than anyone. somewhere between the two extremes is probably a happy median.

[@keithf5236]

On the framing nailer you're using, are their differences between the different angles on different nailers? Advantages, disadvantages?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

hey, Keith. From my understanding it's mainly around how many nails they can hold and if you need to use clipped head nails or full head. The 21 degree (which I'm using) is more geared for the full head nails, but will hold less than the clipped head 30 degree. And the 30 degree can get into tighter places

[@shamilton5000]

In addition to the above response. Nailer angle is usually regional. See what they sell in your local stores and buy the nailer that goes with them. Where I live it’s all 30 degree. Finding 21 degree nails is almost impossible.
