Ahhhh. You will be doing the dry wall & insulation. So very exciting!! 😀

[@Iceshocker]

I am now!

Would expandable foam fill that gap. Will help block the critters for sure. Shed looks so so good. Delighted for you Serena 😀

Just sold my 16ft camper I had tured in to my she shedd. Full bath kept kitchen intact. Had heat and AC. Fully electrified. I removed bunk beds, kept 1 as a day bed. Remove blanket and put farm table with 4 chairs. Repainted interior and new floor all the way through. I had planned on moving this year and could not take her with me. Needless to say the move never happened. Have to say I miss her very much. You enjoy your hide away.

[@fel6132]

Your laugh at 13:49 makes me so happy 😀!! Looks great! Can't believe how fast it went up

[@lindak7499]

OMG this came at the best time for me. I just today talked with the manager at Tuff Shed to get costs, upgrades, etc. Mine is only 8 X 8', and I also want a concrete pad. My current shed is metal with basic foundation and the local rabbits, skunks, etc. have made homes underneath it - such a pain. I am assuming the concrete will stop that. Mine is only for storage, but still... Hope you enjoy your new space and have fun fixing it up the way you want.

[@ThriftDiving]

Hey, great minds think alike!! One tip: when you get your concrete, tell them to make it flat! Tuff Shed didn't tell me to pass that info along to the concrete guy so be raised mine a little in the middle so it slopes for any water that gets on it, but it make the foundation require shims.

[@lindak7499]

Just buy a premade one.

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

You were wise to pick Tuff Shed. They built my little barn shed (12' by 16' with two 12' x 6' lofts in the Gambrel Gables) and our out garage. The barn shed went up in day and the garage is less than two days. They do an amazing job. You are going to love it. We too added insulation and walls. I love that Tuff Shed using 2 x 4 framing.

[@ThriftDiving]

YAY! Glad to hear that you liked their product and are happy! I'm very happy with mine, too! They work quickly, too. Even the builder said he really loved their product and that it was a solid product. I appreciated that feedback from him.

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

@@ThriftDiving My little barn shed is over 7 years old and still looks new. It's solid. Our garage is 4.5 years old. We live in the country so both have seen hair storms and very high winds with no damage.

[@brielynn]

This is beyond a she shed. This is bigger than most of these new small houses. Love it!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

HAHA, facts!! So funny how when I got the shed, I was like, "It's going to be more workshop!" But I spend so much time in here at my desk working, that I really wanted it to be more like a "home" away from my home 20 feet away. So it's slowly becoming more "homey" feeling than a workshop! LOL

[@QueenNanaEva]

It looks beautiful! Your She Shed is ready to rock!

[@ThriftDiving]

Woohoo! I am ready for it! Let's get this baby together!

[@Wiener-Doo]

This is a really cool video. I was stunned at how strong each of the installers were. Congratulations on your new space! 😍

[@ThriftDiving]

Me too! Dude was flipping those panels on his back and hoisting the sheathing up on the roof! LOL Thank you!

[@KenpoMoogy]

I love to see your excitement on camera! I built my said but it was just as giddy as you are. By the way your videos are really great!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thanks, Ryan! I'm jealous you built your own shed! I really wanted to build mine, since I am a carpentry student. I know framing, so it's not rocket science. But I needed it sooner than later, and it would have taken me longer. I feel sure of it. LOL

[@callynt]

I'm so glad you finally got your shed. Looking forward to seeing all the projects you will work on in there.

Thanks! Same! I feel like now the possibilities are endless!

Skylights were a great choice. I know we've been calling it a shed for awhile now but, it's more like a mini house!! Or.... it's Serena's new Air B&B!! Many Blessing to come, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@Frosting1000]

Oh my god it’s like seeing a tiny house being built!!!! This is so cool

[@ThriftDiving]

That's about the size of it! I was standing in it today, just wondering how people organize it to be so compact as a tiny home. It's amazing! I think I want to take some tips of how they store things to maximize space.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Andrea!

[@dianedains7752]

I know this is a little late, but seeing you have it on a concrete pad, and a floor - you could lift some of the center panels and insulate under the floor! I am just getting my workshop plans to get my permit, and I am going to insulate under the concrete pad for mine. And I am having them pour the pad as level as possible for a shop and not a garage. I was told all garage pads slope to shed water/snow from the car. I am glad I found you in my searches. I have subscribed! CONGRATULATIONS

[@ThriftDiving]

HAHA, Judy!! So funny about tearing your hair out! I felt the same way! So little space, and very dangerous, because I've had to side step everything and I've tripped a few times.

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

Lol I love how giddy you are about this shed. I've been watching your channel for years and I haven't seen you THIS excited. Looking forward to seeing how you deck it out. I'm sure this will make for some great content! Also, smart move upgrading from Glidden to Behr. Back when I first bought my house, I used to cheap out and go with Glidden all the time thinking HD was just trying to upsell me but I definitely notice the difference. Glidden is watery and isn't very durable. I usually get the Behr just below the Marquee because the Marquee smell is really strong (and it's expensive).

[@ThriftDiving]

Wow, this is good to know about the Glidden! The TuffShed guys were complaining about how slow the Behr was drying and it made their install a little more tricky. But I tell ya--when they guy tried to drill into it, he was like, "WOW, this paint is really durable! I'm having trouble drilling through it!" HAHAHA. That told me I made the right choice! :) You just confirmed that. And thank you so much for following along for so many years! You are absolutely amazing for that. THANK YOU!! :)

[@savannahjones3525]

Waterproof paper goes around windows/ doors, sky lights and spray foam ( prevent bugs/ animals) can be sprayed where concrete and base meet. Moisture barrier ( maybe) could have been installed over concrete floor.

[@leslienarveson1176]

Oh that was so fun to watch. It looks beautiful. I wonder if using something like a caulk or expandable foam in the crack between the cement pad and the structure would help with bugs and critters?

[@ThriftDiving]

Hi Leslie! The inspector that came to do the final inspection advised me to contact a windows and siding company to get them to do something called "coil stock" around the base, which encapsulates the entire concrete and metal, and then caulks it off, for complete bug protection. I'm DEFINITELY getting that! I just need to find companies and get some quotes.

[@markive9907]

Looks great ,as a contractor,the only thing I saw they missed ,was a starter strip under the shingles on the gable end ,to keep the shingles from peeling up in high winds ,they did it right on the eve end though 👍

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you!!

[@pentiuman]

It looks pretty. I highly suggest you get clear caulking and a cheap shop vac w/ bags, just for the place. After vacuuming the dust the builders left, caulk all the gaps you can in the floor, walls, and windows, especially before you add any insulation if that's planned, as the caulk will seal water, drafts and help to keep bugs out. (But you will need to vent at the top if you heat). And hide non-poisonous glue traps somewhere to get any bugs that dare enter your new place - but you can vacuum them up too.

[@ThriftDiving]

Good points!! Yessss...I will definitely be dealing the place with caulk as the drywall and stuff goes up. And the glue traps! I hate to think of what will be trying to get in come spring! Thankfully, my bug guy will treat the perimeter! 😉

I just heard a story from the builder who was building my shed (no lie) that when he bought his house, the cat who used to live there came back after walking off 5 months before. The builder guy was like, "We kept the cat and he's been great at keeping the mice away. He's been a really good cat." So it's possible Casper just went away for awhile but will come back!
