DIY 8X16 Foot Shed Build

I needed some storage space so I built me a 8x16 foot shed most of the wood I used was the lumber I milled with my sawmill let me know what you think and if you have any questions in the comment section.

[@andylamm5571]

I think you did a very good job. It's a nice size. And you've inspired me to build one like it myself instead of procrastinating and thinking I can't do it. Thank you.

[@jlistdiy]

Your welcome I'm glad my video helped

[@flamesburnred]

Never whipped out the level once. God tier builder.

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you

For those of you watching, much easier to put your shingles up on/near the roof than continually climbing up and down. Reduces the amount of risk using the ladder too 🙂

[@akplayz1154]

I love your style of video editing, no fluff just work. I can follow along very easily. There's also something very satisfying about the sound of the fast hammering. Good work!

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you

[@TheGardenerNorth]

That's a nice shed! If you can get a firewood splitter in a shed without be cramped the size great as well. Have to say it's refreshing to see a hammer and nails being used. Nice job!

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you sometimes hammer and nails is the best way to go

[@WadsonJoseph-xj5uf]

I know right! i said he old school old school I love it!!!!!

Thank you

[@cirosalek392]

I like that you finished it and it was speedy, although lengthy you can see the details. All and all, good video. I give it two thumbs up 👍 👍

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you

[@pinkeye00]

Man ... with one hammer ... sort of brute force, but looks great. I'd do the soffit though and keep the criters out.

[@montanawhite5699]

Nice seeing someone use a hammer. Rarely see it nowadays. Always a nail gun or screws.

[@CAPonthat]

Nothing wrong with nail guns

[@valeriewickerson-august7474]

Thanks for sharing your method of building this shed. Thanks for using 4' x 8' boards, which makes building easier. I just wished you'd added a board or two for width, making it 12 or 16' wide. Thanks again. I would personally tile the floor also.

[@jlistdiy]

Hey no problem and thank you for the comment 😊

[@zmoullan86]

This turned out to be great. Thanks for sharing this. I am building a miniature shed this weekend and when it's complete I will paint it letterbox red.

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you and that's awsome good luck on your project

[@ernestocastillo7684]

That looks amazing, great job! Thanks for sharing and showing us the shed and how to build it.

Thank you and your welcome

[@jasonbuzzard3127]

I love the high-speed hammer. But how did 4 sheets of plywood turn into a puzzle?

[@truebiblesalvation9572]

Excellent work! I like the fact that you used wood from your property! Great way of saving money and using a sustainable resource.

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you I definitely enjoyed building it

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty nice work, Jamie! It really turned out fantastic! 😃 Some day I want to build something like that as well! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@joseph78e4n6]

NICE SPACE .. EXCELLENT JOB... 👍 .. crushed gravel under floor may be an option

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you and yes gravel is an excellent option

[@joseph78e4n6]

I work with carpentry projects , the height of the task is the issue with the job expense and hired labor . have you made scaffolding for this . ?? I would have to build scaffolding to repair a structure on my property . 🔨

[@bshunter550]

I would use more nail gun fasteners when applicable and use #15 roofing felt instead of CertainTeed or Tyvek- type underlayment.

[@gregorialaniyo1263]

Wow!! By himself, wonderful

You have put a lot of effort into creating a very cute cabin. We love your work. May you always be successful. Specify the width and thickness of the timbers. It would be nice. Thanks👍🌹 ♥ A fan of yours from Skardu-Baltistan, the northern region of Pakistan🇵🇰

[@terryhollis8688]

I think you done an excellent job!! Very nice! 😊💖🙏🙏

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you

[@amorales9613]

Nice looking shed. How did you cover the area under the eaves so that birds and other animals don't get in. I'm not sure if I saw you do that. Also, why didn't you alternate the floor boards so that the ends wouldn't line up. It would add strength to the flooring. I think. 🙂 I would add storage and access to the roof section by putting down some plywood and maybe some steps. Thanks for the video and reading my two cents.

[@jlistdiy]

I didn't alternate the board cause they were all different widths since it was rough cut lumber and I used soffit under the eves I didn't show that in the video

[@feggaros]

Excellent well done Mr

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you

[@danieltolle148]

I really like your new shed. I’m going to build one like it this summer.

Thanks this could be my benchmark. What about tge electrics and do you intend to insulate?

[@shamrock241r8]

Great job on the shed Jamie, I will be starting one soon and only hope I can do half as good.

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you I'm sure you'll do great always remember measure twice and cut once

[@beresbarnett3999]

Was nice watching great work

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you

[@timfrazier6268]

Did you use precut, 92 5/8" studs. Just my guess based on you 8' siding overlap over part of bottom plate and ~1/2 of lower top plate. I'm getting ready to start my 12x16 w gambrel roof but wanted to use full 8' studs for a bit more headroom between main and loft level. But it occurred to me that if I use full 8' studs and 8' exterior sheet goods, then hold down the T-111? covering face of bottom plate, I'm going to have ~3" of the wall including plated not covered by the sheet goods. I have to think on this more for impact as I go up. Nice Job!

[@jlistdiy]

I used full 8 foot studs and left a 3 inch gap at the top whwn I attached the 8 foot sheet

[@kerryhoward5523]

Good job next time stagger your planks on the floor for better strength to last in the weather 👍

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you and the only reason I didn't stagger the floor planks was the boards were all different widths due to being rough cut on my sawmill, I guess I could have ran them through the table saw

[@MCsCreations]

Oh, the house is looking great as well!

[@jlistdiy]

Thank you that video is coming in about a month or two

Woot woot! Love i!t you know you install that shed on your trailer add insulation and some appliances, furniture and it’s a tiny home 😉people rent those 250$ a day What did it cost to build roughly? Glad the lumber prices are down compared to the last spring 😊

[@jlistdiy]

My cost is gonna be a little bit cheaper since all the framing lumber was cut on my sawmill for free I did however buy the siding and osb for the roof and shingles costing about $650 and yes I'm glad to see some of the lumber prices go down finally

Since I had most of the wood it cost me about $700 that was for the shingles,plywood,and siding but full cost should run you about $2000 depending on material prices in your area
