Did you finish it?

[@edwinjr90]

Can we see yours

[@angelgreen3532]

I want to thank you for making this video series. I've watched tons of other "how to" videos on building, and none of them really helped me. You made these videos easy to follow, and did an amazing job of explaining things that more experienced folks probably think are obvious. Even the little tips and hacks made a world of difference! I've been trying to start my journey into falconry for 10 years, and building my mews has been the big sticking point. Thanks to you, I'm almost finished building the perfect building. THANK YOU!!!!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! I tried to think of all the sticking points that may hang somebody up and simplify them so I glad I could help! Good luck on your falconry!

First time building a shed. I followed your instructions. Took me about 5 hours to build the floor. Mainly because I was off square by 2 inches. Took me a while, I had to drill the frame to the 4x4 on one side and kick the bottom until my numbers were at 153 inch on each corner. After squaring the frame it was down hill and easy. Walls coming up soon. I watch your videos several times before starting this project. Thank you.

[@JessedoesDIY]

That's awesome, good to hear it! Yeah it can take some time but it all starts with the floor. I'm pumped your giving it a go and that I could help. Good luck on the rest and keep posted! I'd love to see it when its done

I built a storage shed following your tutorial 18 months ago with painted OSB walls. I'm in Scotland where our climate can be really wet and my shed is as good as the day I built it.

Sorry to hear that. Well, good luck on the shed either way

[@StainlessTIG2]

I’ve been a welder, grinder, and fabricator for 25 years building custom stainless pressure vessels. I had hell trying to get my foundation level because my backyard has an uneven 15 degree slope. I got my foundation level and the subfloor turned out great. I did have to use a few shingles to slightly shim under the 4X4’s to blocks for perfect level. My tank building skills is what helped me get through this 1st part of my 8X10 shed project. I appreciate your help by making these videos. The walls and roof should go pretty smoothly. Thanks.

Sounds like quite the battle but glad you got it all sorted out! I'm glad I could help you out and that you found the videos useful. Good luck on the rest of your shed and let me know how it goes!

I needed to get a shed built and decided to use your tutorial videos to do it. I hung drywall for 14 years but, I've been out of that line of work for over 14 years.

After quite a few weekends in record setting heat putting it together, it is now done and it looks great! Thank you Jesse!

[@JessedoesDIY]

[@dudleydooright]

Mice love this design. Nice warm place underneath. :D I do love it. It's even easier than my last free standing shed. Another option (which I did on my last free standing deck for my gazebo), is to dig a good sized hole (1.5 to 2' should do it) in the middle of the joists (right before laying the floor) and throw a sawed off post in there with some concrete. Throw a bunch of screws in it to attach it to your joists. That shed won't move in anything short of tornado directly hitting it. For an all wood shed.. probably not needed, but works great for a free standing deck or if you plan to put a big box 'plastic' shed on the base.

I am thinking about using the treated wood from my fence that I'm about to replace to build a shed and a deck. This video is really helpful. I will watch the rest in the series. Thanks!

[@TomRuss.]

Thanks to your videos I just realized what confused me for such a long time even though I am a woodworker. There is a minor difference in describing spacing which makes a big change on the outcome. *CENTER ON 16 is not the same as CENTER EVERY 16*, when I write it down it's clear as day and yet somehow it took such a long time for it to sink. Center on 16 is making sure the center is on an EXACT measurement (16, 32, 48..) and center every 16 (or any other number) is the spacing between centers. I feel dumb and enlightened at the same time, thank you.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Hey Tom! Haha well I'm glad I could make the light bulb go on for you! I love those moments when you're so close to figuring something out and can't quite get that last detail, but when you do everything just falls into place, it's so satisfying to know.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Cool! Happy to help. Good luck on yours

[@Jonasz314]

@@JessedoesDIY it made me rethink my approach. I was planning to go with deck blocks and only 2x4's, but I already see a problem with it (8x8 foundation for a 7x7 shed) - lack of joists. Ground has a slope to it so most likely, going with 4x4s as a flat base on deck blocks and then building the frame on top of this is the way to go.

[@TheAmbex]

My old man once told me you can always use a finishing nail gun (2" or less) to pin boards in place so they don't move while you are screwing, nailing, cutting, etc.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Not actually a bad idea

[@Hickson19]

One of the best shed Build videos online. thanks a ton! using this style for mine

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome, thank you!

[@rageoid]

Best explanation video out there, I am going to follow it. Simple question, I'm a rookie, so bear with me ! When you are measuring your joist frame for square (diagonals), I am unclear how to adjust it for square if you have already nailed or screwed it together, making it a fixed structure ? (I have never done this so I may be missing a simple concept). Thanks very much !

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, I'm glad I could help! So once it is all assembled and just framed, without sheeting on it especially, it can still rack from side to side a couple inches. So even though it is not coming apart, it can still move around a bit. Hope that helps, if you have any more questions just ask! Thanks for watching

[@WisdomwWave]

Is there any tolerance in the diagonal measurement? I am 1/4” out by on my 7x6”” shed frame 😀

[@JessedoesDIY]

Actually yeah, that is ok. This shed is considered rough carpentry and the rule of thumb is something can be actually 1/4" out. You can make that up in other areas with a little pull here or a push there, maybe even tweaking a cut, so by the time it is standing and finished you'd never know anyways.

[@WisdomwWave]

@@JessedoesDIY thank you 😊

[@2nostromo]

crown up... probably the best advice you'll ever get

[@JessedoesDIY]

Yup

[@sridgway54]

Man... you make it look so easy. I can build cabinets and furniture but rough carpentery/construction intimidates me for some reason! I am curious if you're going to release basic plans and numbers for this building because a 12x8 shed is what I'm shooting for however the vertical dimensions is exactly what I want.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Lol thanks. But don't let it intimidate you. I love doing finer things myself, but sometimes I just have to do a rough build because it's fun. Once you get a few basic rules into your head for it, you can almost shut half your brain power down, go head down and just hammer it out. And at the end of it you have a big structure which feels really satisfying when you stand back and take it all in. I have been adding the materials for each video down in the descriptions and I would love to release a plan for it, but I'm still learning how to do all that stuff and I'm not sure when I could. But as soon as I can you can bet I'll be adding them later. For now you can take what I did, and because it's still exactly 2 feet wider than mine, the math is super easy. If you need a reference just stretch a tape measure out and count all your 16" marks up to 12'. That tells you how many floor, wall and roof studs you'll need. The design of this shed is very scaleable in that regard. Even your OSB will line up perfectly, I was cutting off 2' from mine because I needed 10', which is 2.5 sheets. You can literally get away with 3 sheets front, back and roof without cutting. Easy peasy. Good luck, let me know how it goes. Any questions feel free to email me

@@JessedoesDIY ,I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know this but for giggles I will tell you. It was the toenail trick , where you spin it a couple of times before angling the screw. It's not often you need to screw like this unless you do a lot of shop work like building furniture and cabinets etc.

[@amomentwithanimals7429]

Even when framing walls ,I build the wall on the ground and then stand it up so there isn't any need of toenailing studs. Like I said I don't have to do it often but when I do the drill has skipped and got my hand a couple times , with your trick I'll never have to worry about that again.

[@JessedoesDIY]

That's awesome! Anytime, glad you liked it. Good luck on yours and keep me posted, email me some pics when you're done!

[@HecTor11207]

Bro built mine this week followed the vid and came out pretty good! Thanks bro

[@JessedoesDIY]

Great to hear!

[@teslagirl6296]

Just wanted to say that I built a 10X12 shed thanks to your videos. I really appreciate how easy you made this. I ended up doing a more or less flat roof as I was limited on height due to city permitting but otherwise followed you videos and the place came out really great. I found it super easy to go buy what I needed based on watching what you did so the whole thing went really smoothly and with limited trips back for things I forgot. Thanks Jesse! In case anyone is wondering how much long it took, it took two of us working most all day for about 7 days to build it and roof it and stain it. Not bad but was definitely a hard week of work!

[@teslagirl6296]

Also, cutting with the speed square holding the saw in place.... Lol, I had no idea that this could be used like that but damn did it make my cuts better and quicker!

[@katjones5187]

Best Shed base that I have seen on KZbin!🏆🏆🏆

[@JessedoesDIY]

Appreciate it!

[@HelmetVanga]

Great job. Makes our lives a whole lot easier and inexpensive.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, happy to help!

[@AbilashReddyy]

Thanks for those helpful tips and precise instructions… I just built my shed foundation watching your video multiple times… you are awesome…I did replace the osb with pressure treated plywood..

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thats awesome! I'm glad I could help out.

[@RoninThomas-q4n]

Dude! that trick using your speed square on the side of your circular saw to make a perfect square cut was awesome!!! Your going to make a lot of builders upset if you keep giving away their secrets. LOL :-) Great video!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, glad you liked it! Lol well that's their problem, nothing here is secret and the more tips and tricks I can share, the better for the average person it is. Plus I like the idea of showing people the whole process and if they want to try it, perfect! But even if they realize it's too much for them, this way they know what they are paying for when they hire somebody and what to look for.

[@littlefieldesq]

Thanks!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome, appreciate it! Glad you liked it

[@jeanalexandre1105]

I would recommend painting both sides of the OSB. Before Install

[@bestill389]

Thank you so much much for making this very easy to understand brother. Keep up the good work, we need more good instructors like in this trade.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@renjiabraham2049]

Thank you for making this video, I want to build exactly the same. Love the inspector at the end of the video.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime, glad I could help! He's pretty great lol

[@bmpowellicio]

Sterling board or Oriented Strànd Board (OSB) has a light surface coating of resin so can take exposure to rain for a surprisingly long time. But eventually it will suffer so needs a protection. But its fine if you have rain during the contruction period. The sheets are factory made to high accuracy, much better than on site measurements, so you can use the sheets to square up the frames. Its best to use full sheets and cut your frames to the edge of the OSB rather than the other way round. This way you have completely square corners. I'd always insert insulation during the assembly rather than add it later. I suggest fitting thin boarding to the underside of the frame either by assembling it upside down and flipping it, or by dropping in narror panels between the joists. You can then fill the space with insulation before decking over.

[@pksabastian7896]

Absolutely generous for the great video series.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@jessecline4226]

I did a 12×24 using 2×6 treated for the floor joists but it is supported every 4 or 5 feet along the spans & on one foot centers with a 3/4 " sheeting for the floor.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Nice

[@harrylostforevermetaldetec1025]

Hi your video is easy to follow , I will use your system but want 4 by 4s all around , my shed has to be mobile so I will put heavy duty casters every 4 feet, no tornados here. Canada was forced to go metric but all building and tape measures and squares still use inches and feet...no body likes metric ..Thanks Gov for forcing it on us..NOT! You are a great teacher and now I will start that shed project I have been wanting to do for years. All the best to you.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, glad I could help! Just make sure there is an air gap below the floor and ground, that's why I didn't put 4x4 all the way around, it left air channels so the floor can breathe. I like metric lol but all our building materials here aren't and my largest audience is in the U.S. Good luck on your shed!

[@harrylostforevermetaldetec1025]

@@JessedoesDIY Hi again, I was in school when we switched to metric so I am old school, as for the shed as I said it will be on rolling heavy duty lockable castors so there will always be an an air space under it. I hope to get it done this spring. All the best to you, keep posting!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Awesome! We'll good luck on it, keep me posted

[@DorianBarcusRealEstate]

Awesome tutorial. I’ve been researching all the ways to DIY a shed foundation and so far I like this method the best. Thanks!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks very much! I'm glad you liked it

[@charliebrown5355]

Thank you, I am going to follow this video as I start to build my own shed.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime, I'm glad I could help! Good luck on yours

[@cfisher2447]

GREAT tutorial here and I much appreciate the attention to detail with screw sizes, lining this up to that, etc. SUPER helpful. Helpful note for anyone who's thinking about getting into this. DO NOT underestimate the amount of work necessary to level uneven ground. My yard is all sorts of fucked up and I spent a good 8-10 hours getting the concrete blocks leveled and lined up correctly while keeping the whole thing square. I am a complete novice, so you might do better.. but just be aware.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it useful, I tried to be as clear and concise on everything I knew I'd get questions on if I didn't lol. That's a good point on the ground leveling. I live in the central prairies in Canada so it's super flat here, I dint have to worry about that too much but I should have at least commented on it because it's the base for the whole shed. Thanks for sharing, I hope to see your project when you're done!

[@eddieb6472]

First time seeing this and doing a shed. Thank you for information. Looking forward to doing my shed/base.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime! I'm happy to help. Good luck on yours!

[@desireeandlane]

I thought it would be easier but it seemed more math than I am good at. I’m trying to build a few sheds for my stuff in my house. And your shed is so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing. I will definitely take pics if I ever get mine done right🤙🏽

[@JessedoesDIY]

It's not overly difficult, but there is definitely a lot of pre planning and things to be aware of. I do have super detailed plans available if you want. All the materials, fasteners, lists, measurements, pictures, and descriptions you'll need...if you want. Good luck on yours, can't wait to see it!

[@davefromthegrave9815]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I'm going to attempt to build this in the next couple of days

[@JessedoesDIY]

That's awesome! I'm glad I could help. Good luck on yours!

[@CrappyCol]

Thank you for making this video, i was able to recreate the shed and i must say it’s easier than it seems!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime, glad you found it useful!

[@marval550]

This is a top shelf video! Like having a good friend show u! You rock! 😃

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks very much, I appreciate it!

[@craftworkmom]

I just learned a TON from this series. Thank you!

[@JessedoesDIY]

That's awesome. No problem, glad I could help

[@alpinglow]

I appreciate clear and certain directions with resons included. I'm rebuilding a shed floor so I'll have to decide to either jack the shed up, prep base and somehow slide the floor beneath vs building the floor under the shed?

[@JessedoesDIY]

No problem, I'm glad I could help. Ooof, that's not a fun job. Either way will be a chore, but without seeing it, it's hard to say. Good luck on the project
