Shed Roof, Shed Doors and Shed Ramp // HOW TO BUILD A SHED PT. 2

[@ActuallySettle]

You're a very good and articulate narrator.

[@travis118]

Hey man. I love how you're not afraid to show your mistakes and you find a way to either incorporate them into your project, or simply just accept it and move forward. Great project!

[@RatelLaw]

Thank you for sharing your expertise

[@matthewwasserman7709]

Hooked utility blades are great for cutting roof shingles. Regular blades don't stand a chance against asphalt shingles. This entire video was awesome. Well done

[@joshuacarl6822]

I really appreciate that you point out your mistakes. Everyone is human ad can learn from this.

[@jeremiejey3130]

Ok . I gotta say . I will work for this man for no money . I wanna learn how hard makes his projects

[@rerainone]

Just gotta start somewhere. Community colleges usually have adult course and home renovation is usually one of them.

[@nick34377]

Learn from someone that’s doesn’t build a shed like this

[@rustedoutwrench]

I am a roofer this i not how roofing works

[@TheTramil]

Hey, as a roofer, here's a few tricks: Buy hook blades (usually, with carpets in the hardware stores) to cut the shingle. The kind of shingles he used have "registration marks" on top and side of them. The packaging usually have instructions on them. Have an aditionnal layer at the bottom, as he did, on low pitch can cause isues, as the shingles will flatten with time, and will leave a ledge at the bottom, keeping water, and making the whole thing eventually rot. I recommend removing any trees close to the roof, as it keep humidity, and eventually, again, will make the shingles rot.

[@alexandreguillard8792]

I’m happy to see I’m not the only one who’s making mistakes on measurements or setting materials upside down in the middle of a build 😃

[@lightwavz]

It builds character, right?! I have never done a project perfectly.

[@jameslund221]

It keeps in character with the miss match footwear. lol

[@jackwoodford519]

Bro, you just saved me hours of time with that trick to use painters tape on the speed square to mark holes for pre-drilling. Thank you for that!! Sweet build too!

[@dennissmith5837]

Johnny that’s a nice shed for add d space. I’ve been thinking about a similar add n to my garage/shop so I can put my air compressor and dust collector I it and take the noise out of my shop. I just built some new shop wall cabinets and had the same problem with the blue painters tape but they’re shop cabinets. Lastly, I could not find your templates for the rafters. Great video.

[@felixarmandopaezuscanga4642]

works great every time i will try to use this wood plan

[@mariai.morales6538]

I'm not carpenter,but if I was you,I cover the hole under de "steps" with some decorative plywood,the one you used for the shed,sorry for my English!,love your work,really nice and neat....😉😉😉

[@acastillo1986]

I've watched many shed build vids to give me ideas mine when the time comes to build mine and I will say, your vid was by far the best one I've come across. The amount of detail you give, without giving too much detail was perfect for me. Thank you, and it turned out awesome!

[@moo2814]

I appreciate that you show your mistakes and explain how you fix them.

[@QPatriot07]

Suggestions: - Use ringshank nails instead of screws for holding on the plywood siding and fascia - they're easier to hide when you're done. - Nail through the tar line, not below it. - Nail the starter shingles at the BOTTOM, just above the tar strip so that the shingles above get held down. Don't bother nailing the starter shingles at the top, as nails in the next layer above will penetrate that area of the starter shingle. - Don't double-stack shingles - if you screw up the first row, REMOVE them. The upper layer of shingles will just flap loose in high winds because the tar line from the starter shingles is blocked. Since this project is already done, you may want to get a tube of roofing tar and squirt some under those loose shingles to hold them down. - Pre-cut the first shingles for each row in 6" increments (6" off, 12" off, 18" off, etc.). It helps to do this on the ground before you climb up (or have someone hand them up). Use this set of cutoffs to start another row, or to finish rows. - Do your shingle cutting with a framing square using a scrap of plywood as a cutting board. This will allow you to have much cleaner edges and reduce risk of damage to the shingles you've already laid. Putting a back edge on the cutting board can help keep the square and shingle in alignment while cutting. - Cut the shingles from the bottom (face down) so less of your blade goes through the aggregate on the surface. This will help your blade last (a little) longer.

[@joey.g]

What do you mean by "Nail the starter shingles at the BOTTOM, just above the tar strip so that the shingles above get held down?" Do you mean that the starter strip is just supported or stronger with this first row at the low edge?

[@QPatriot07]

@@joey.g The starter row supports the tabbed shingles above, and the lower edge of the shingles will be overhanging the drip edge. The extra layer helps support the tabbed shingles from drooping and, if you correctly orient the tar strip on the starter row, also helps hold the shingles down.

[@tyleradams6872]

would you use house paper for exterior walls for a shed that is 8x12? Also, what about vents on gable walls?

[@Burgermonster]

Nice project, nice video. I need to build one just like this fall. Thanks!

[@hogantezza6469]

It helps a lot to score paint with a utility blade along the tape line before pulling it off. Clean line and no worries about pulling paint off.

[@travistaylor7939]

I've been following this man for about 2 years now and I'm just a normal every day guy, I'm not a craftsman by any means. I have to say, this dude has real talent. My favorite was the deck build.

[@ronadkins8997]

I like this build, and I love how you show your mistakes because it reminds me that I'm not the only who makes them. Working in front of camera would be hard for me because I always think I'm doing it all wrong but I press on and in the end it all works for me. I'm going to build myself a storage shed to move all the kids bikes, toys, and my golf clubs to. I also liked the ramp, glad you didn't just slap down some plywood and call it a day, like I've seen on some other sheds. That deck board is the way to go and looks better too. Nice work, great videos too. Can't wait to see more of your projects my friend. Have good day! 😁

[@gorillagoalie23]

I'm not sure if you noticed but you can just unscrew the screws on the hinges and gain access to your shed. You might want to consider putting the hinges on the inside of the door casing with the barrel on the outside. Also use frog tape. It's got powder chemical on the edge and soaks up the paint. Or just lightly caulk the edge of the tape with clear caulk and then paint before the caulk dries then pull the tape off before the paint dries.

[@yeahyeah4244]

Ooh good catch

[@andrewtabner3761]

How can the barrel go on the outside when the cladding material overlaps the door framing material? Surely the gap it would be sat in is covered by cladding? I ask because I’m just trying to work out if there’s a way to hinge doors of this design with hidden hinges

[@gustavcrossbow2805]

use carriage bolts

[@flix4u]

Nice finish to shed.

[@rebrough]

I'm a painter doing mostly repaints. Some tips to help get really clean tape lines: 1. While applying your tape, keep the roll taught as you stick it down into position. If you have slack you could get folds or rolls in the tape that work as an entry point for bleeds. 2. Once the tape is stuck down, use a narrow putty knife and run it along the edge of the tape with a bit of pressure to get a really good seal. 3. When painting, don't flood the area. Whether there's tape involved or not. You want a nice even coat. Too much can lead to drips, sags, and even the outside of the paint drying while the inside is still wet. This looks awful, and doesn't hold up over time at all. 4. Pulling the paint up with your tape is always aggravating. If your paint surface is well prepped (dry, clean, and sanded), your paint is much less likely to pull up, but it can still happen sometimes. If you're worried about it you can time it and pull the tape while the paint is still setting up and is a little on the wet side. While its still a little wet, the paint will separate on the edge of the tape much easier. If the paint is already dry and you want to make sure you don't have an issue, grab your trusty putty knife again. Run the corner of it along the edge of the tape, almost like scoring the paint where you want your clean seam. You don't have to be precise with this, and you don't have to apply much pressure. You just have to give the new paint a place to break away.

[@Beef4Dinner22]

I learned another truck that works really well for nice neat lines, but can definitely be more involved and takes longer. Here is how to use it for the instance in this video: 1. Paint the trim white (just like in video, no need to be neat). 2. Tape off your lines (same as video) 3. Paint the inner area with your white trim paint, but only needed along the tape. This ensures any paint seepage is your trim color, and seals up any gaps. 4. Paint your main color over top of the white trim paint that covers the tape lines. 5. Peel up tape. Any paint seepage into trim area should be trim paint, and thus completely unnoticeable.

[@willmen08]

I just copied and saved these tips. Good stuff, thanks!!

[@dylan-nguyen]

Was looking for this comment about pressing down the tape! It’s not the tape,it’s the user!

[@Foodie-yj1qe]

Thank you for the great instructions you provide. I really enjoy your videos. However, I have a question. How do we weather proof the sides which back up against the back wall. I am going to anchor it to the wall of my house. I have a brick veneer house, but the concern would be the same regardless of it being weatherboard or brick veneer. My concern is when it rains directly in that area (back house wall) or when the wind pushes the rain in that direction, it will rot out the back wall. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions to deal with this? Thank you guys in advance 🙏

[@roto6500]

Very informative, ty

[@craftedworkshop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dauntiekay2768]

Nice work--loved watching you build this shed and learned a lot of good tips and even though I am 72 years old I think I could do this!

[@aliciarodriguez1007]

Hi we are planning to do a shed I really like your video nice job just a question how high is the back wall and side ones thx

[@jayemporia4516]

Nice build! Thanks. And I too am glad you didn't edit out the mistakes. You also showed how to compensate for those errors so you could continue on. Your shed is beautiful and the color you chose is perfect. I learned from you.

[@craftedworkshop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christophermatthews1800]

With my own experience taping, I find removing the tape before the paint dries to be helpful. Then again, this probably varies depending on the paint composition. Love your vids man! From Windsor, ON, Canada

[@ignacymat]

it makes sence to make a cut when you have too much paint

[@84deeanne]

nice video I'm thinking of building a shed about the same as your I didn't see where I could get the plans and if I wanted to make a few changes I guess I could !please let me know and thanks again

[@dcruzer1272]

4:50 was just about accurate in what feel when getting frustrated. Great videos on shed build.

[@terrymansfield1273]

Great videos! I'm looking at adding a lean to on my existing shed and this told me everything I had questions about. And I'm intrigued by your work station that your miter saw was on. Do you happen to have any plans/videos on it?

[@joedimarco21]

Highly recommend frog tape. Absolutely love that stuff more than anything. Project farm even recommended it in one of his videos where he tested all different kinds of painters tape. Definitely a good video to watch.

[@WowRixter]

After watching his review I'll always buy Frog Tape

[@elane9856]

Nice Design to build a shedThumbs up from me

[@paulaguirre1084]

It looks great ! i have watched it a couple of times to get it in my head. How many days did it take you to complete?

[@NooBGarage]

Great video! Thanks for not editing out the mistakes.

[@NickyNicest]

It is impressive that these cheap tools get the job done. I guess my only concern would be long term reliability but I’d imagine they’re similar to ryobi which has held up for me. Shed looks amazing though. Good job! This gives me confidence to build my own one day! Edit: after further research Hart is produced by TTI which is the same company producing ryobi and Milwaukee, and is basically rebranded ryobi. I’d give it a try for that price!

[@pitmainiac1]

Thanks for looking into the brand, I wanted to, but went down a KZbin rabbit hole...

[@4315061]

Great job!! You said you would list the paint you used. Not sure I see it listed. Thanks..

[@MagicMane-dn5hp]

This is a great video, I subscribed! Question. For the ramp, if there is a metal plate under the door, do i just screw the ledger board to that metal plate? Thank you. I know it’s a rookie question.

[@Connect662]

Love the mistakes because I make so many of them!!!

[@cavaleru31]

nice build, you should get some metal reinforcement for the locking mechanism on the floor.

[@karenmitchell6814]

Agree. I use a forstner bit to drill a shallow hole and embed a fender washer flush with the floor. Construction adhesive or some epoxy keeps it locked in place. This keeps the hole from enlarging over time from wear and tear. The adhesive/epoxy also keeps the hole a bit protected from moisture.

[@lawrencewebb3659]

what trim type were you using that required 3/16" gaps? is it a composite that tends to expand/stretch in summer? hardie trim?

[@TallGuyDIY]

great build!

[@TripReviews]

Good looking shed. I’m impressed with the few little mistakes, you didn’t edit them out. 👍 😚

[@experimentalpyrographer1442]

Good choice on the white trim on just the doors, it definitely looks really clean and sleek.

For cutting shingles try a "hook" blade works so much better but still as with straight edge have plenty of blades on hand!

[@brandonkoster2192]

I love the AvE reference.

[@havenmakes]

Check out the carbide utility blades from Dewalt at Home Depot. Doesn't help now, though, but worth checking out.

[@wikbriks5753]

do you have a video for your portable miter saw stand you used on your workhorses ?

[@GeorgeMinton-jb8ky]

You might consider filling in the door osb to keep the spiders out of the door. Spiders are always a pain in the rear in a shed anyway. Have you considered that you may be a crappy painter? Too much paint? Didn't press the painter's tape down to provide a good seal. Left painter's tape on too long before removing it. Did not use a utility knife to break the paint seal before removing tape. Just a question!!!!!!!!!

[@Unlovable]

Although cheaper tapes can be really shitty, I think removing the tape before the paint had dried would've helped a lot.

[@Grawiman]

Hey. Why such a serious lock mount? When you can unscrew all four door hinges. And the shed in your backyard. Something like child protection?

[@craftedworkshop]

[@มนตรีศรีพุฒทอง]

Can the shed be assembled so that the window is on either side? I would want the window on the opposite side as shown.

[@shogunkosku]

Use frog tape to prevent paint bleeding under, also take a razor blade and run down the grove to break or slit the paint so when pulling tape off paint does not lift off surface.

Just a tip for starter shingles just flip a shingle upside down works and get hook bill blades for cutting shingles not trying to troll just trying to help

[@smartoneinok5402]

Is it necessary to anchor the shed to the ground? In case of high winds? Or is it heavy enough that it won’t matter?

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

I LOVE WHEN YOU THROW THE TAPE! LOL

[@Mr.DMZ.]

If you put paintable caulking right at the edge of the tape where you are going paint a different color, it will prevent paint from seeping through the tape. I do this technique when paint walls and trim where colors meet in a corner and it gives you very crisp and clean lines. Just remove the tape right away after you finish painting so the caulk doesn't dry

[@AlesEveryday]

May need to build one for keeping my tools! Awesome build!

[@shaestrunk3146]

TIP: I hate throwing out a perfectly good utility knife blade just because it is dull, which happens WAY too quickly. I always sharpen mine again by taking the blade out of the knife and making little circles on a fine knife sharpening stone. Works perfectly! I haven't purchased new blades in a long time.

[@liambrown3404]

I know this isn't a great attitude but seeing as for me i can get 10 blades for £0.99 il just buy plenty and save the time.

[@christiankerr3102]

@@JayGreyhood lmao

[@shaestrunk3146]

@@liambrown3404 it's cool. To each his own. It's just sometimes you run out of blades and don't want to drop everything to make a 30 min or longer drive to and back to the store for a few blades. Nice to have the stone on standby. Also, we have box cutters all over the house that we use all of the time... I'm not paying for blades every few months. 😋

Use a hook blade in your utility knife. Pretty much perfect for shingles. Only doesn't work when it's too cold and the blades will snap all the time.

Amin Yashed is in your shed and doesn't want to get out!

[@ryanalvarez1591]

Why the 3/16in gaps on the trim butt joints??

[@SmallAxeMP]

I can't believe you didn't put a few shelves in that shed. It's such and would do well witha fee shelves.

[@Quadwrex]

After applying the tape, you can paint over the paint seam with the trim paint. That will create a seal so the other color won't run under the tape. Creating a nice crisp paint line.

[@joey.g]

So why did you use a stud spacing that was different than 16 center on the sides as you stated in the video

[@abexx17]

Maybe a silly question, but what program/app did you use to render the digital mock up of the shed? Looking to do a project like this myself and would love to be able to plan it out in a clean format like you did.
