What is the estimated cost of materials for this project?

[@Thats_Mr_Random_Person_to_you]

Love the New Yankee Workshop safety reference. LOVE that they've uploaded all vids to youtube. Its little nods like that, that prove how inspirational that program was and how far its reach was (and still is).

[@missingsemicolon1119]

Started watching those on YT, nice to see them preserved as I used to watch them when I was young along with This Old House.

[@MarkWomack11]

Norm is a real one.

[@dbann9020]

Ha! Just yesterday I was thinking: “I wonder if that guy ever finished building his shed…?”

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Spring has sprung so I'm back!

[@MoGhotbi]

I learned a lot building my own shed - one thing I did was extend the back birdsmouth cut so I could slide the siding up under it. Everyone should try their own shed build.

[@anthonyfreeman5858]

I’m glad to hear that someone else has some trouble building/fixing something’s. You did good, once you got started. I am using your phrase, “Mistakes were made” when I goof something. It’s just soooo true.

[@darmichar73]

When you were using the story stick and moved from the front to the back, I knew for a fact that was the point I would have flipped it or otherwise used it incorrectly and wouldn't have caught it until I was setting the rafters. When you set the fascia board upside down, I could totally see myself doing that too, especially working alone. Thanks for leaving the oopsies in too. You can't learn if you don't make a mistake occasionally.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

after the fact I realized the story stick was where I actually went wrong, not the fascia. I marked the stick upside down while looking at the drawing. so actually the fascia should have been correct 😀

[@shane555]

Good on you for showing your (very minor) mistakes. Most KZbinrs only show the best bits, which makes the viewer think they should also achieve this perceived "perfection"

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

we embrace the mistakes around here

[@davinlaroche3029]

Plus, at 200 mph, you won't see 'em driving by. 😁

[@rickcimino5483]

the boards on the front and back ends of the rafters are called "sub fascia" and the rafters on the two ends are called "fly rafters" since they are "flying" in space and not over the building. That type of house wrap is an air infiltration barrier, not a vapor barrier. Generally, when doing a roof, we run a shingle up the roof too to establish the overhang. Finally, you did not have to put so many nails in that final drip edge at the top of the roof (end of your work). You could put it down with a generous amount of roofing cement (comes in a caulking tube like the sealant you were using) and then just nailed it a few times. This video was worth the wait from December Brad. Thanks

[@danbert8]

I used the ForceField panels on my backyard office and was very impressed with the panels. They were left exposed for 3 months and I had only a couple of leaks from over driven nails that I was able to fix with flashing. I also did use Zip system tape with the panels because I saw a lot of negative reviews on the GP tape. It worked out great.

[@erinreiss9507]

I love your building process. It matches what a diy person actually does. Build a little, fix mistakes, build a little, fix mistakes.... I appreciate that when things don't go smoothly and that you keep that on camera. Great job!

[@mortimersnead5821]

Small blocks of framing lumber are prone to splitting. You can pilot drill them, but it's generally faster to drive a nail or screw front to back and that holds the grain together as you drive a fastener the short way. Hook blades are way easier for cutting asphalt shingles. Start your cut 1/2 inch in from the edge and cut that short gap last.

[@CalebCalixFernandez]

I had never done any kind of construction work in my life, but regarding roof installation, it always made sense to me to begin down moving upwards so that whatever material used for roofing gets the overlay gaps on top thus preventing water going down the roof.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

yep, exactly!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

Great to see you're back working on the shed Brad! It is really taking shape and looks so nice. Thanks for sharing all the tips and also things that didn't go as planned. That helps us all!

[@guybowers9094]

The shed is coming along nicely. I do feel your pain in respect to the weather. I started my shop and the weather was great then we got some rain and it wouldn't let up. Since i attached it to my existing garage the roof on it was exposed so the rain got it out too causing some water damage

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

yeah, doing a project by yourself over many weeks makes dealing with weather a big unknown

[@Felix_McDaggart]

top tip for any shed, make the over hang massive so water never hits the sides or soak the foundation and potential rot the sill plates

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

yup, I went with as much as a I could to fully use the lumber I bought

[@MCsCreations]

Really awesome work, Brad! It's looking fantastic! 😃 You know, we had to replace a plastic roof here, it's just a small roof over the laundry room... And they installed a sheet of composite aluminum. And... Holy sh*t, you need to take a look at that material! 😮 There was a strip left over from this and they gave it to me. It's going to be freaking useful in the shop for jigs and stuff! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

that sounds cool!

[@sapelesteve]

Minor mistakes and all, you are doing a terrific job building that shed yourself Brad! Great job!! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@JorgeAguilar714]

A tip for anyone doing a roof soon. A laminate floor cutter (the guillotine style) works awesome on shingles . You get perfect straight cuts every time and is a huge time saver.

[@Sudcalifornio]

ya mero voy andar subiendo esa herramienta al techo, mejor navaja de gancho

[@JoeOrtiz-t2x]

Great video. I'm in the process of building a small shed and I learned a lot. I love watching the mistakes. Now I feel normal. :))

[@oilcitywoodworks]

Ah yes, back when I was framing houses in college we heard the phrase, "it's getting covered up anyway" fairy often. Hahaha. But for real though, those rafters were just fine, for sure. Great job on this build series. As always, I am really enjoying your videos. Keep 'em coming. Thanks!

[@kayosfrawg]

If you lay your osb horizontal, that is how I was taught to install it, you can use the premarked lines for locating your studs. They usually come with lines for 16 and 24 on center. Then you don't have to snap lines for your studs.

[@benji9930]

Thats is correct and the sheating is meant to go horizontally because it will catche more studs and add lateral strength. He should of did it like he did his floor sheathing.

[@Thomas091094]

Brilliant, can’t wait for the walls now :) soon as you do that video I’m going to follow step by step to make my shed :) love you and your family love the channel content :)

@@Fixthisbuildthat your very welcome. All your content is great, I love the fact you leave in your little mistakes to show we’re all human :)

[@karatekid10908]

Good to see the shed getting done. If you do more work with shingles I would highly recommend getting some hooked blades for your utility knife. Works much better than the normal blades!

[@dadlife8289]

Thanks for the video. I was looking forward to this one. Makes me want to try to build a shed

God I love shed videos 😜

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

just trying to keep on your timeline...4 months to go

[@RaymondPayne-o6p]

The editing in between nail shots... respect

[@benji9930]

H- clips are design to add strength and keep your roof sheating connected between rafters. You may get some uneven sagging spots on your roof. As well wall sheathing is designed to fo horizontally to catch as many studs as possible to strengthen the whole wall. None of those things are major issues on a small shed but would be on a bigger build.

[@GardenreetLighting]

Fantastic job on the roof installation! It really ties the whole shed together beautifully. 🏠

[@petesmith3186]

Thank you!

[@markhutton6824]

Two years ago I had to replace the roof on the summerhouse at the end of the garden. I had to replace 60m2 (645.835ft2), I used OSB2 2440mm x 1200mm which were 18mm (0.7 inches) thick (2.44m x 1.2m or 8ft x 3.937ft). After removing the very cheap roofing felt I removed the rotten boards, glass fibre insulation and had a break. I replaced all the panels lifting the OSB boards on to the roof using temporary batons to stop the sliding off and fixed them in place, noticing quickly the "professional builders" that had built the summer house didn't know what a square was. Battery powered Circular saw and impact driver were my friend, the sodden glass fibre insulation (after killing all the bugs living in it) was replaced with recycled plastic bottle insulation (it doesn't soak up water and bugs can live in it). Once the roof was finally replaced I went about installing new roof felt, this was thicker and reinforced with glass fibre it was a lot heaver it came in 3m x 1m (118.11 x 39.3701 inch) rolls.. in total eight were used and I covered each OSB gap with bitumen and then used it along each long end of the sheet to secure it in place along with the felt nails at 100m (3.93701 inches) apart. The whole replacement of the roof took four days with breaks to get new insulation or to get more screws and lift materials in place. Yeah metric is difficult... I count to 10 and you are welcome to your fractions.

[@jimbehrend4327]

Doug all of those trees are worth the effort. The first tree cut into sections that you can move with your excavator. The second leave attached to the tree and section it off until you get to the tree. Again use your excavator as possible for assistance. The next 2 your ideas are correct get the weight off the tree and cut it. When cutting off your stump use you excavator bucket and cut from it. Cut the base and pull down hill. The ones you said you would leave. Leave them. The last one is very tough. Having a crane or bucket would be the best way. All of them would be extremely expensive to hire out.

[@JonPominville-vz4oy]

Just a note. H clips are used for spacing, but with a 24” spread on the rafters, the h clip provides strength from one sheet to the next. 7/16 osb should have an h clip for everything over the diamond layout (19.2 inches).

Great to see the salvaged boards. Too many KZbinrs throw away perfectly good boards after remodels.

[@jasonwatzka702]

Nice job! I really would have encouraged you to use 5/8 sheathing on the roof though! Especially because of the rafter spacing and low pitch. Unfortunately you will get sagging. Perhaps you can add some blocking between the rafters preventatively

[@kyleryan4936]

You should have put the drip edge on the front edge of the roof when you were doing your second to last row of shingles, once the drip edge was nailed down you could’ve put the last row of shingles on top of the drip edge, you would just peel up the keystone and nail under those then reseal

[@Zharsergey]

Nice build! What are you doing for ventilation? Soffits ?

[@robertcarullo4926]

The yellow tape for the roof, its good, but the zip is way,way better.

[@notarobot638]

Curious why you didn’t run your sheathing sideways interlocking your joints? You still get the 8 feet in height but a lot more structural integrity.
