I was impressed that your wife, neighbor & son all helped. Even your dogs made an appearance. I now have an appreciation for all that goes into building even a small space. Everything you did was driven by quality and excellence. My dream is to live in a tree house designed by Pete Nelson.

[@Holmesy1229]

Framing 10/10! But because you asked - you have to flash window/door frames on all 4 sides usually 3" on the sheathing and 3" onto the frame. Then install the windows with calking all around, but over hang the frame so it clears your siding. Then install counter flashing and then your finish siding. Water is going to come off the window and get between your siding.

Blows my mind that you would make it that small. All that effort to encase one piece of equipment.

??? That one piece of equipment is a literal all in one home gym, plus theres still space to stretch and do yoga? Most people would kill for that setup, especially if they don't have to have it in their garage or a spare room.

I agree the cost for that size structure for 1 piece of equipment id just bought a tuff-shed. But as a rental property owner Id be happy they built me a nice out house to up o my resale price or rental price.

[@moosedancer1]

awesome job I like how your humble approach always wanting to learn is such a breath of fresh air in a world of self proclaimed experts who would be look lucky to find thier backside with both hands. Great video strive to learn something new every day.

[@djdahl14]

You needed to put “Z” flashing between the siding. Water will get inside the seam. You can’t rely on caulking. The window flashing (the sticky kind) needs to be done from the bottom to top so there is always an overlap on your seams. You put your sides on first, then the top then the bottom. Any water that comes down the top will rook under that flashing. Your window frames should have had a bigger gap between the framing so when the earth moves, it won’t break the glass. I can’t tell but your floor joists should have been pressure treated since they are touching those concrete blocks. If they get wet they will rot out.

[@ACCORDIONTUCAN]

Very clean and meticulous build. Nice job!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

If you get any heat about not having staggered joints on the subfloor, those people are not competent builders. Ignore them. Also, what a great neighbour! One thing I noticed is next time, don't put sealant under your windows, and always shim them up a 1/4" to 1/2". If any moisture gets by your flashing, it will have nowhere to go and will just rot in the window jamb area.

[@AnubisFenrir]

17 minutes in, and im so amazed that it got me wanting to give it a try

[@kadavila]

This was a joy to watch. I don't know you from a can of paint yet here I am, super proud of your effort!

[@toddc4677]

Things look great but I would suggest using "door stop" to install the small window instead of a dado. This would allow a much easier replacement in case the glass ever breaks.

Unless you live in a place where frost heaving is a consistent issue then his foundation will be fine. Have built and seen plenty of decks on block foundation and they are as good as when they were constructed.

[@user-ug4ns5lw9v]

I'm fairly confused by a home structure set up on $10 blocks plopped directly onto unprepped soil, that's surrounded by a deck that has concrete post footers.

[@JB2X-Z]

To be fair, this isn't exactly a structure as big or nearly as heavy as a house would be. If the soil wasn't touched at the top layer when their home was being built originally, the soil below will be packed well enough to be able to support a building this size. The framework they set up for it should hold for as long as they own the place, if not longer. However, if the soil was moved around a lot while their original home was being built, they're going to be in for a bad time in the long term.

[@metal_mo]

Because it's a shed, not a home.
