Like your videos. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that has do things more than once. I'm building 8 x 12 shed. It's my first atempt to do a building. Your video is helpful as well as motivating. Thanks for sharing.

[@LandtoHouse]

Yes I definitely have to redo some work. This is my first shop to build as well. I'm sure there are many many ways of improving this but it has worked well so far.

[@macsair]

I'm really impressed with you patience and perseverance. It's coming together really well.

[@LandtoHouse]

This install tested my patience a few times. In the end it all came together well. The next video shows a much better install for the back side.

[@kennethlemke9826]

Doing things alone is tough..good job improvising ...

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. I certainly learned a lot about how to hold boards by yourself

[@aviationmadness4236]

Hey brother I like your show, you have a new fan. I just got hired on with builder's first source, I'm pumped. I want to build my own home some time. Meanwhile you have inspired a new builder sir!

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you for watching. I'm happy to be an inspiration. Do keep in mind that I'm just a homeowner with no professional experience.

[@jeffdavenport1396]

Your videos are very helpful and easy to follow.

[@davidjimenez933]

Great videos thats gonna be a strong ass building.

[@Larry342516]

Your doing a great job. Appreciate your videos. Take care.

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. It has been a fun project over the past year.

[@mikebonilla1064]

I live alone and its kool that u showing us

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. It was a lot of work to build this alone but turned out well I think.

[@spacecowboy7755]

I like the story at the end where your neighbors are burning leaves, especially you pointing out they are a Mexican family because their ethnicity is really relevant.

[@LandtoHouse]

That's how the news station reported it. Thank you for staying to the end of the video!

[@lewisclark5694]

It’s a smart thing to Always be a bit afraid of ladders each and every time you get on one.

[@turnerhayes5303]

Nice work so far. You really have to get up higher on that ladder so you don't have to work over your head, which is very unbalanced and dangerous...especially on ladders

[@R1824]

First of all nice place and view, I used to live in Raleigh and I missed it. Anyway, I am working on my shad too so I am going through your videos which is nice info, but it is tough to work by yourself.

[@LandtoHouse]

It has been a challenge but things are looking good now. Cant wait to start getting the inside put together.

[@RBMawby]

Very entertaining - just like some of the rest of us.

[@LandtoHouse]

This step was less than perfect. I am happy that it is over now.

[@RBMawby]

You are building a fine workshop.

[@Maintenance63]

Really enjoy your video's. You are doing an awesome job. I'm building a 14 x 14 shed by myself as well so I know your struggles.

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you! Yes building mostly alone has been a challenge. There are several things I have had to do by clamps and braces. Not the safest at times but it gets the job done. Keep safe as you build. What step are you on?

[@Maintenance63]

Putting OSB on the walls. Roof will be soon. Clamps and braces, I never have enough. I build scaffolding to help. 14 ft 2 x 4's are used for ramps to slide the OSB up on the roof.

[@LandtoHouse]

Sounds like you have a good system. The OSB is a pain on any part of the building. My shop used the 3/4" Plywood on the walls because it was given to me.

[@Maintenance63]

[@Maintenance63]

Thats is link to a video showing the scaffolding I use

[@johniemullins5142]

You don’t have to block 24” o’c use purlins to tie your roof frame together and give you something to attach and supporting your metal roof

[@markbennett6978]

It’s like watching play school

[@tombryan1]

Must be the Smokey Mts, Nov 23rd the States largest fire to date began. I was there in Gatlinburg the night it broke wide open, Nov 28th

[@LandtoHouse]

Ah yes that is likely what it was!

[@justinkhase3168]

I am enjoying your videos … I just found you … my problem is the slope of your roof towards your house .. snow ice and rain will be always draining against your house foundation.

[@LandtoHouse]

Yes I needed to have the shop a bit further from the house. Gutters should help some.

[@darrenpodger7294]

A scaffold tower would be safer good job though

[@GodIsTheIam1]

*14:41** You could use 1 and 8/16th inch screws so they dont come out the other side maybe.*

[@BobEMoto]

fascia boards should be end to end joined with 45 degree miters and only at a rafter junction. The soffits are classically done by notching the last rafter and nailing into the previous rafter.

[@LandtoHouse]

Good info. Thank you. So far the soffit and fascia are doing well. It would have been nice to have cut a 45 on those fascia like you say.

[@maverickbrigoli1403]

Dont cut a 45. Cut either a 22.5 or a 30 degree angle. Much cleaner.

[@justinkhase3168]

Please do not think I am one of those so called haters out there .. I am enjoying your venture here … if possible look at over sized gutters with leaf screening to stop any blockage or damming. Just a thought.

[@LandtoHouse]

Not a problem. Your ideas are correct. I was actually thinking of trying my own pvc gutter system. Perhaps 4" pvc ... But I will look into other gutter options for sure.

[@mikebonilla1064]

im a heavy equipment mech I don't know much about but I learning

[@LandtoHouse]

I dont know much about it either and I am learning.

[@TheDrunkardHu]

Awesome! Subbed!

[@LandtoHouse]

Thanks for watching! And Subbing.

[@johniemullins5142]

The ladder you are building is call the soffit and you should have extended your purlins out to hold the sub fascia

[@LandtoHouse]

Yes! That will be done on the lawnmower shed that I have planned.

[@johniemullins5142]

Sorry don’t know where you are.... I have been building for 45 years, sorry I get carried away when you youngsters get started on the wrong foot.

[@jacquelineheaton8463]

U DIDNT NOTCH OUTER CAP TRUSS TO TIE INTO THE OVER HANG?

[@LandtoHouse]

Please take note with these videos that I am an inexperienced Builder.

[@justinkhase3168]

Love your tenacity … BUT safety is of the utmost … you need a proper ladder so you don't have to reach so much. One slip and your life can change forever.

[@LandtoHouse]

I'm currently building my kids a playhouse. I'm using a proper ladder for that

[@dkat1108]

Watching you on the 18ft ladder is chilling especially holding something so awkward.

[@LandtoHouse]

It was a bit frightening. Luckily it was only a 12 foot. . . Still enough to get very hurt if I were to fall. I am almost done with that ladder. Siding and paint is mostly what is left.

[@dkat1108]

I am building a kayak shed and I only have the trusses and roof to do. I am by myself too so I have to be very cautious when on the ladder. I fell from a ladder a few months ago and ended up in the hospital for 2 days with a collapsed lung ,fractured rib and collar bone. I have a buddy that can help if it gets too tough.

[@LandtoHouse]

+D Kat that is rough! It could have been worse though! Working with a friend is always better when it comes to ladders.

[@dkat1108]

Hey let me ask you folks sense I am by myself and I am in my so called golden years weight is an issue for putting up ladders by my self. What do you think if I made my ladders with 1x4 for the rails and 2x4 for the cross members and even glue it and screw it to make it sturdy. Weight is the issue what do you think?

[@LandtoHouse]

+D Kat I would use a router to inset the steps and then use metal rods along the steps if needed. I have seen attic ladders like this. Probably not pine wood if I had to guess. Something stronger.

[@dkat1108]

Ya not sure how I am to go about that and keep it light.

[@LandtoHouse]

Might be best to look into an aluminum ladder.

[@hopenavajo1391]

Should've nail or screw the 2x4 or 2x6 plate first and then using metal hangers to put in the blocks in. Nail or screw the outter plate.,then you're done.😁😁😁😁😁. Or better yet,nail or screw the first and last block,then put the rest in using metal hangers.

[@LandtoHouse]

There are many "should've"s in my build. I have learned a lot during this build. I look back over the past year and smile at the skills learned. Or at least attempted to learn. Thank you for the tips.

[@hopenavajo1391]

You're very welcome for the comments.

[@hopenavajo1391]

Land to House thank you for your feedback,it was nice conversing with you.

[@martijnfransen9933]

the racker... I don't know how it si called.. could also be installed from the roof when you have part of the roof finished...

[@LandtoHouse]

Very true. I installed the back side from the inside and it worked much better! So I would say that getting them up from the inside before the roof is on is best.

[@martijnfransen9933]

Love the build of your shop Seth. You are doing a good job..keep them comming

[@LandtoHouse]

Thank you. I sure will. It is starting to get cold here so progress is going to have to move inside the shop soon.

[@remotetrapper8991]

You have absolutely no support at the center of you gable end extensions (where your ladder meets). Your ladder will definitely sag with a snow load.

[@LandtoHouse]

So far we are good. There was a 16" snow this past year and no sagging.

[@pierpaolobiagi1949]

At about 13:10 are those on the right, screws that hold ladders? Are they too long? :-)

[@LandtoHouse]

They were just right as length goes. I am sure you could use more appropriate screws for the job but these have done well. Just use a bunch of them.

[@pierpaolobiagi1949]

Land to House yes, if they hold, they are right! It happens to all of us, some screws want to hold more than expected.... :)

[@johniemullins5142]

Do you know how to use a speed square????

[@LandtoHouse]

I do now. This was a learning experience for sure!

[@balloney2175]

On index 10:24 it shows again the lack of proper measuring. I am giving you a D- on that one.

[@robertlaird6746]

Measure once, cut twice.

[@LandtoHouse]

+Robert Laird or in my case: measure once cut twice go back to the store buy more lumber repeat.... haha.

[@robertlaird6746]

I used to mess up on my cuts when I first started but now I hardly ever do due to years and years of practice. I just measure once and cut once but sometimes twice due to cutting it the first time a 1/16 th long.

[@LandtoHouse]

Practice really does show improvement. I have already noticed that I have better accuracy in some of my work. Still a long way to but its getting there.

[@robertlaird6746]

How do I post videos on KZbin? I'm doing a major remodel on a geodesic dome home. It was never finished and left to rot. As a result, most of the structure had to be re-framed. I would say at least 75 percent re-framed when all said and done. It's a double dome home. One 50' diameter and one 20' diameter with a pop out and a massive raised deck. The small dome had to be removed due to heavy rot as well as the deck and pop out. The larger diameter dome roof had some rot so I replaced a little more than half of the triangles one triangle at a time. My wife and I are doing all the work with our own hands. No hired help.

[@LandtoHouse]

That seems like a very ambitious project! It would go faster with help but I understand doing the work yourself too. To post a youtube video you just have to have an account and click the gray upload arrow on the top right of the screen. It is very easy to do.

[@johniemullins5142]

You need to work off the framing of the roof not off a ladder!!!!

[@carlmeyer449]

Why are videos like this permitted. People are going to build like this and end up with crap buildings. It takes little more time to do it right.

[@LandtoHouse]

Do remember that you are watching this on youtube. Check out "HGTV" or "This old House" or a similar professional outlet for the quality work you are looking for. Otherwise enjoy the work of a beginner learning as he goes.

[@Larry342516]

Why are you here Carl? Don't you have something better to do with your life than act like a An hole?

[@LandtoHouse]

Carl seems to have gone to greener pastures.

[@lisalaughter1416]

@@LandtoHouse Way to go Land To House ! My name is Lisa and I am a beginner / intermediate woodworker. If I made videos of the stuff I have waded through in order to get my projects done I would be on prime time comedian network. All beginners go through this stuff....like I have said several times.....you have to really love woodworking in order to become an experienced craftperson....you learn from your mistakes !!! Remember Jesus Christ himself was a woodworker !!! You keep strong and carry on my brother !!! Love and may Jehovah richly bless all that your hands set forth to do. Check out this scripture Bro Isaiah 65:22 " They will BUILD HOUSES and live in them, and they will PLANT VINEYARDS and eat their fruitage,.... Love and God bless from our family to yours....Lisa, Joey, Jesse

[@LandtoHouse]

I definitely can't say that I have any professional training. I just get out there and try stuff. I feel it's better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all. As for this shop I don't think it's a failure

[@ernestomorin3419]

I think u need learn a little more how to do

[@LandtoHouse]

I suppose that is what this video is all about
