Do you have plans in meters?

[@moisesantigua656]

Where did you get the roof from?

[@MrCoyotekiller21]

I built a 12’x16’ “shed”. It quickly turned into a studio with a half bath and insulated/stamped concrete floors. Insulated walls with smooth finish drywall. Anyways now my wife and I workout in it and it serves as a spare bedroom with a pullout couch. Sunk about $20k into it doing most of the labor myself or through trades. Now I need to build a shed though…

[@jgreed5]

Can you do mine next

[@Rebel1280]

LOL YES! Start off building something as storage shed that turned into something else (office) entirely and now i need an actual storage shed :D

[@christophermahony6928]

It's a vicous loop he tries to build a regular shed but accidentally makes another mini house but he still needs to build a shed so he builds a shed and whoops its a mini house again. He still needs to build a shed

Looks great. 2 thoughts…. Gutters, at least across the porch. And bathroom facilities. It’s a hike back to the house. And if you use that refrigerator for beverages that I suspect you will during college football season, you might need to think of someplace to go. Outhouse greatness you can call that series.

Great series! That's a lovely shed, and given the cost it's actually a good deal for what you got. You should definitely be proud of what you did!

[@motofunk1]

I bought a used 12 x 20 Tough Shed for $800. Disassembled it, destroying the roof in the process, moved it, reassembled it on a 3/4 gravel base and roofed it for a total of about $2k. Total time one week.

[@waynemartin4453]

Are you ready to build the best chicken coop ever? Then you need this book! kzbin.infoUgkxLum--iPp9YKZ09j1BMdHaBMLkrGfIbcm It has tons of awesome barns and coops that you can choose from, without making you dizzy with too many options. The book is super easy to follow, with lots of pictures and videos to show you how it's done. But don't expect to learn everything about chickens here, this book is all about the structures. You'll have to look elsewhere for chicken care tips. Trust me, this book is a must-have for any chicken lover!

Sick build man. If the glare on the tv window gets annoying, consider some ND (neutral density) film that we use in film making. It’s how landscape & car photographers cut the reflections to see into the water/vehicles through the reflective surface. Keep up the solid content 💪🏼

[@richeelfrazier8496]

I had a shed built recently and want to figure out how to get it wired. I got medium gravel to go under for drainage. I got a ton delivered to my house from a guy on Facebook. It cost me $150.

[@carolharris2357]

And trailers.

[@cgray8969]

So remember that song "Sixteen Tons"?! That's how much gravel I ordered since I was renting the truck and driver for most of the costs. Gravel can be rather cheap that way. You always get the extra. Good to barter with the neighbors who might only need a few buckets or wheel barrow loads. Poor kid next door asked me why I got rid of his sand box. He thought it was to play in. You will always find uses.

[@tuesboomer1623]

Looks great! As for cost, it seems to me, given your comparable examples, you definitely got the best long term value for dollars spent. The quality materials and features, the owner-built attention to details, versatility, longevity and the intangible value from use and enjoyment make it a big time winner for what you spent.

[@mistyl1987]

I remodeled a 13.5 foot skipper camper that was originally built in 1973. I had friends that know how to do lots of carpentry help me with a lot of the actual build so it only cost me materials and any extras I wanted- such as a tiny wood stove, small rv bath tub, and jackey solar generator with a bougee rv fridge/freezer combo. I offered food and drinks in return and got to learn a lot from the peeps that helped me. My goal was to be able to live in it off grid, if I wanted or needed to, but I also still have an extention cord out the back incase I camp somewhere I can use power. My kids and I are going to the mountains this summer for 4 weeks to live in it in nature and spend some time together. I love my little camper and I'm super proud of my layout and build ❤️‍🔥🤩 took 2 years to plan the build and I even made a small scale popsicle stick model of it before I decided how I was going to go forward with the build 😊😆 just added a small window air conditioner last week in order to take it camping this last weekend with my dogs. I hope everyone can get a solid building project to work on, the satisfaction of watching it come together is just so priceless 🥰🥳❤️‍🔥

[@seen48]

It’s absolutely phenomenal my man! Such detail, materials and cool design. Still can’t believe you did it all by yourself. I would suggest to fix your erosion problem by putting some gutters to help drain their water where you don’t want it. - your 🇨🇦 buddy. 🤜

Wow! I built a couple of sheds in my lifetime and yours is most awesome. I didn't know what I was doing but after 18 years It is still standing proud and my neighbors love it. Mine is basically 11 x 12. I've had to replace the doors twice as they were old salvaged doors. I used T1 11. And I have had some rot issues I have had to repair. But it keeps going and yours will last a lifetime or two. Thanks for sharing.

[@SurroundedByClowns1926]

Food for thought you may even be able to use said speakers and Bluetooth amp for a door bell notification too!

[@tonyrome655]

Great build. You mentioned running electric to it but I think going solar would be awesome. I also think running some gutters would really help with the drainage off the roof.

[@joshuaholden4303]

Gutters for sure. Super cheap and make more sense than tons of extra gravel. Looks amazing tho!

[@superpj]

Besides all the trees blocking light self contained solar with inverter and battery would add in around $10k but he has youtube money for it so it's nothing.

[@mistyl1987]

​@@superpj you can get a solar generator like jackery and panels for wayyyy less than 10 k.... I paid 1800 CAD for a 1000 watt generator and 2 x 100 watt solar panels. I'm saving for a 1500 or 2000 watt generator now for my 13.5 foot camper remodel It's built to be off grid but also has electrical cord if I happen to be somewhere with power plugs 🤗

[@superpj]

@@mistyl1987 with the stuff in there those 200 watts with no battery won’t last long. Need at least 1.6 kWp but if they have a microwave or heater then 6 kWp minimum for the panels and a 5000 kWh battery to keep them going into the late night.

[@mistyl1987]

@@superpj the jackery is a battery. I charge it with a 150 watt solar panel I put on the roof. It runs my fridge mostly and everything I put in the camper is rechargeable, such as motion sensor lights, faucet and shower head. It seems to do the trick for me. I was just camping for 5 days and the jackery stayed over 90% battery lifethe whole time. I have a little propane buddy heater and a tiny wood stove for heat when needed and use a bucket heater for hit water. I'm working on getting a bigger solar generator just to have back up solar power. I got an energizer generator recently as well for back up power if needed. Plan on takin the kids to the mountains this summer for a month.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Looks awesome! I like the color and how it pops off the white rock. Why no gutters flowing into water collection? Could use it to water the grass.

[@quikkyle601]

Turned out awesome! I think a boarder around the smaller rocks with some larger rocks would really tie it all together. And grass around that.

12:05 go to a hardwood dealer and get skip planed 4/4 ceder lumber then use it to make a ceder bench Rough cut lumber is a lot cheaper from a hardwoods dealer then deck lumber from the big box store, skip planed lumber also looks nice enough for an outdoor bench you can always sand it.

I built my shed 12x12 7-12 pitch 2 windows skylights 16 on center everything,self-adhesive base sheet and cap sheet, and much more i didnt mentioned as pressure treaded ground contact 2x6 on gravel and also had to spray 600 sqft with weed killer and also Spectracide Triazicide Insect Killer for Lawns & Landscapes. It came out looking great 240sqft 7feet high and 10feet to the Ridge bored where the trusses connected to. It only cast me $1800 3days work. I also used sidding to match it with the house since I just built the house with blue slate sidding color they both match up now.

You might submit this to HGN or another network and see if you can get a show out of it?😮 Seriously, you did a great job on the whole project. Good for you...

[@gailmrutland6508]

*Nice job I really like it. JFYI pea gravel isn't very good material for drainage. You would be much better served using all river rock, reason being pea will compress and catch particles of dirt which after time acts like cement and water will, flow on top of is creating puddles*

[@patriciapatricia9040]

Impressive job and beautiful finish. I am a big fan of the grey & black color scheme with one exception. I would paint the entry door orange to give it a pop of color & a nice contrast to the overall color scheme. Yellow would also work as both those colors would blend nicely with the wood tones.

Sweet brother. Love the content Travis 👌💯

[@daviddreher8588]

Great Build! As someone who has built a shed from scratch, I can appreciate the level of effort that goes into it. Regarding the river rocks....I had a rock path next to the house and no matter how often I blew the leaves out, they somehow get tucked down in between some of the rocks. Now mine were very white rocks, so it got dirty looking super fast. The only thing I would suggest is maybe placing a stepping stone path to the fire pit and shed. With little ones, they can easily roll an ankle on river rocks.

[@oreoninja918]

Awesome series.

In my experience, weed barrier doesn't work. The weeds just grow on top of it. I would have just laid turf and kept it mowed. The rest is awesome!👍👍

[@Snyc2030]

Amazing build

[@shuck4571]

Turned out very nice, great sense of accomplishment. I agree with being willing to pay a premium to save on labor but I don't think that means buying rock by the bag from Menards, I'd spend the money on equipment rental. River rock like that is a small fraction of the cost in bulk. When you're looking at 10K pounds or more, with delivery and a 1 day skidsteer rental you're still coming out ahead without manually loading the cart, placing and cutting bags, etc. If you needed/wanted any more rock anywhere else on the property at that point the incremental cost is trivial to add another ton or five as well. Of course that cost equation doesn't make sense if you calculate that you need 5,000 pounds and eventually use 15,000 in increments...

[@ef5842]

You made that so well.

[@nnaeole]

[@RobDucharme]

11:12 Really? It's always bad practice to put a door right in a corner as some suggested. You always want some space between the door and the adjacent wall for exactly this purpose, or at least for storage. It's exactly how I had my garage built. I requested they have the man door X-amount away from the next wall because I knew there'd be a work bench along that stretch. Obviously you and I thought this through the same way.

[@anntrope491]

When doing a project like this at home...keep things SQUARE, LEVEL, & PLUMB. START WITH A GOOD FOUNDATION. MEASURE TWICE...CUT ONCE.
