Hey are you making plans for this shed?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Yes they will be available soon. Cheers!

[@Truth10011]

Why did you use screws instead of framing nails? Any opinion on why choose one over another?

[@zacharystevens6613]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY any update on when the plans will be available?

[@SophiaAphrodite]

I had used your design in framing and roof style a few years back on a 10x10 shed on a concrete slab. I made the mistake of using the semi-transparent fiberglass roofing panels. I thought it was clever for the idea of natural light. But living in Iowa..............I could roast a chicken in the summer. But it did keep it a bit warmer in the colder seasons if it was sunny. I even built the push mower "doggy door" on the side so I could park it under the workbench and not need to have it intrusive. I was proud of the fact I built it myself, even the male neighbors were impressed with the mower doggy door and that I used pressure treated on the concrete and attached my framing to that! Thanks to you and your family for being there for us over the years.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Well Done!. Love hearing stories of how folks use the info that we teach. Cheers Sophia and thankyou for your continued support!

Where is a video on a push lawnmower doggie door? That sounds great.

You're the dad everyone wants! yours is the only channel where I see it is a 48 minute video and look forward to watching it!

It is after you get home and can watch on KZbin. lol!

[@amyreaves8054]

Well it will not happen here because dt is going to cut education.

[@RR-ep6uc]

My husband just passed away and he had ever single tool you can think off. I only want to keep the most used tools that I might need. I saw your video on the six tool you need to have and I want to Thank you. I feel I can get rid of all the other tools he had and just keep the ones you suggested. Thank you again.

[@HighlanderRC]

Juat wanted to say I absolutely love your videos. I'm going to try to build my own shed in the New Year, and your videos have provided me with a wealth of information and how to do things.

[@Mr4squared]

Just finished building a shed this summer with lots of spare rough lumber and metal roofing. Excited to see how you built your door and if its any better than the one I came up with, may make me a bit jealous. Thanks for another awesome series!

[@calamania1]

I like how you keep it in the family! Cheers ! Great job enjoy the videos. Matt is a beast! 👍🏻

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Love working with the family. and Yes Matt is awesome!

[@joeygallegos]

I was just thinking about how I could do this. This video popped up on my feed. Thanks Jeff!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Glad I could help!

[@clydeleguerrier436]

Awesome build ,simple and efficient. Nice To see the vid, but even nicer to live next door and see the real thing being assembled. Great job coordination between Matt and Jeff and of course the lens guy. One thing i found when assembling the tin with the screws on the top of the rib is (In have two of those next door) if you have to remove the snow (low pitch roof) the snow rake keeps hitting the screws and eventually causing them to loosen and makes it difficult to pull the rake and snow off. Bad experience with that on a previous roof (35’ x 15 ‘ ate the cottage Florida Room) where i had to get the snow off. The roof like 2.5 to 3 feet thick of snow it was very difficult not to snag the screws and slide the snow off. So since these screws have a rubber washer i screwed them in the valley, soo much easier to handle and no worries about hitting the screws. ( i think i saw a video on the Tub about that recommendation also .). Just a thought Clyde

[@PlantPotNProjects]

Very nice! I'm currently building my daughter a playhouse and using a system similar to yours. Ill finish up exterior siding tomorrow then on to the roof i go. Thank you for the great videos!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Right on. Cheers!

[@DenKonZenith]

Definitely gonna have to try this some summer, seems massively better than a Homeless Despot delivered one.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

so much better and saves you money. besides the shed in a box still needs a base and that is half the work.

[@cartoon-network814]

eccellent tutorial for making a sturdy and durable shed.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@wrenchboostboi8994]

Im considering taking this design and modifying it for a budget sauna build.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

would work really well. add some house wrap and insulation and clad the inside with cedar. Cheers!

[@wrenchboostboi8994]

Absolutely, my thoughts exactly. It’s a beautiful, but simple and robust design. Perfect for what im looking for - probably not starting until next year, but ill be thinking it through and imagining it many times over lol Shout out from Thunder Bay, Ontario! My sister lives in Kanata, Ottawa, which i believe is roughly close to your area? She runs her own landscaping business, her husband is Navy.

[@Iam_jardow]

My fav part is the beginning. All those gaps behind the fence picket wall.

[@JacobAldridge]

I would go black on that board. That way the black trim isn't broken up. It's all connected.

[@bounjamin]

Love this video (and all your content). What is the pitch of this roof and the height difference from front to back?

[@TimSilvey-b7k]

Love all of your videos. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the next one!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks so much! see you next Saturday!

[@daviddarnell8898]

The manufacturers of the type of corrugated metal you used says to put screws in the flat, not on the ridges, except for the ridge cap (or vent.)

[@rupe53]

if you put them on the flat it's also easier to rake off the snow without catching the screw heads.

[@amyreaves8054]

Thank you again Jeff!

[@wandah8225]

Have you heard about the Hydro Tail? I've been seeing videos on this new product and it looks like an amazing and affordable item to add to many tools. Wanted your thoughts on it, if you know anything about it.

[@vizualizeit08]

Shed coming out great however I don't like the black paint idea, would go with a natural outdoor stain for the entire shed......

[@noahdaniels2560]

Have to keep all casing black to maintain the flow of the border. All lap boards get stainded. Beauty of a build.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

once I got this stained it turned out awesome! Plans coming soon!

[@kokanee1248]

Curious what the material cost was on this (I’m in bc but I figure it’s similar). LOVED the videos, learned a ton of ways to do things more efficiently, and I’m feeling very inspired.

[@jdtravelers1361]

Newbie question... do you have to worry about water intrusion on the edges of the roof panels or should you caulk/seal? Thanks

[@jillkaiser1747]

at the back top siding has a gap, so are you making a king size bee hive,just wondering. Love the style,but just question all the gaps.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

i planned for a roof like this for one of my sheds, and my wife hated it so i went with a gable style roof.

[@Stevej2013]

Another great video with your wise words Jeff. Cheers. Did Matt go team red because you are team yellow? I have all Dewalt tools and my son went to team red lol

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Well Steve it was a great way to see what the difference is. I would never change tools lines just for the experience but having the need to buy tools for him allows us to experiment a little. I will say they work great but they are a lot more pricey!

[@tsr1190]

Its gotta go black to complete the frame of the stain

[@IndependenceCityMotoring]

Wont the rubber gaskets on the metal roof screws eventually dry-rot? Should be silicone instead for longevity, IMO.

[@rupe53]

the ones I have seen will easily go 25 - 30 years. Nothing that can't be fixed with a little caulk or roofing tar.

[@nyetloki]

Silicone also dry rots and shrinks. Its outdoor design roofing screws and washers.

[@rupe53]

@@nyetloki if you get 25 - 30 years on the washers, you can still do another sealer later. How long are you going to be there?

[@davidsato8756]

[@FM-dk1vp]

As far as color goes, I never like black because it hides black widow spiders. 😱

[@WhoCares2509]

The day I build a superfluous shed like this is the day I realize that I have way more money than I need. By the way, I'm no pro, but I did install a metal roof on my own house a couple of years ago, and my understanding was that you should pre-drill your holes in the metal panels before the roofing screws to allow for expansion and contraction, especially in a Canadian climate. I don't expect a response based on my previous comments on your channel, but others should be cautious. My roof seems to be holding up fairly well, but if your holes are not slightly larger (but not larger than the rubber washers), your metal panels can literally pull your screws out -- one implication being that it's no longer water-tight. I'm a little less confident in this guy now. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

[@russguppy8761]

You put the screws on top of the rib. Wouldn’t that flatten it out?

[@myronpriest4935]

I agree except where put the screws in the rib I built a few metal roofs and I never put them in the ribs excellent build😅

[@ronlovell5374]

Correct layout for sheet goods is not 16 inches with x on one side. You can minus 3/4 inch (15 1/4) put x to the right or add 3/4 inch (16 3/4) and put x to the left. This puts the timbers on correct 16 inch "centers" and won't require adding on additional materials and creating unnecessary weak butt joints, also the lines on the sheathing would've been on top of the beams instead of to the sides. I get that its just a shed but I think showing people how to do it correctly makes more sense.

[@bigcountryjd]

I'm pretty sure they're 16 on center if he puts his tape on the center of the first board instead of hooking it.

[@ronlovell5374]

@bigcountryjd that would be correct as well, but not what he does, which required him to scab on another rafter to take the end of the sheet.

[@nyetloki]

Why would you rip tongue and groove plywood...

[@scottkern9107]

Did you really just let 4” of the membrane hang off the back beyond the metal?

[@fbad3]

What happened to Max? Did he leave the crew?

$600 Costco sale sheds seem better for a small shed like that.

you will have a completely different opinion once you see it finished. Cheers!

[@curlsalot91]

Sir, i watched many videos of yours. I noticed you are constantly mouth breathing. No matter if you are physically "challenged" when not talking or on a light task when not talking. I would recommend you to focus on keeping your mouth closed and breathe trough your nose. You can check the science and data behind it. One simple factor and benefit is filtration and humidity when breathing. So on a chemical level it's necessary to keep an eye on it.
