SHED HAPPENS - BUILDING A BOAT WORKSHOP!

[@angeltyson1966]

OK I don’t understand you have a workshop. Why are you building a a shed instead of working on the boat? The page is called ship happens 😮not shed . I do understand that you have to have some place to put things for the boat but come on we want to see the progress of the boat, please. I don’t wait all week to watch you build a backyard shed

[@ShipHappensUK]

These videos don’t effect our weekly Sarinda videos, currently our workshop costs us £1200 per month, and as we are putting everything into Sarinda, we financially can not afford the workshop any longer, but if we haven’t got the workshop, we’re are we going to do all the stuff like processing wood and storing all the things we need for Sarinda? So by building a shed at home as our workshop space we will be able to reduce our overheads and put more money into Sarinda, so I hope you can understand we are doing this for the boat build and we would love to have your support on this project,

[@offshoretinker]

If you have watched the Ship Happens videos from the start you'd know Simon And Gemma ALWAYS have a purpose in mind. And if you are a hands on person, as I am, then you would take pleasure in watching two outstanding craftpeople at work. So maybe hold back with snarky comments. And BTW, you didn't wait all week to see this - work on Sarinda is put up every Friday!

[@julesrego]

Piss off! I enjoy watching the shed build too.

[@noelbowerman1562]

Get a hobby mate ,go do something else while they sort their shed ,situation.

[@robertttttt716]

They didn't own that workshop it was a rental I believe.

[@garymilstead4199]

Your framing methods are not much different than ours in the USA. I admire how well you both work together as a team. It’s not your usual leader and helper approach. You both are equally skilled and gravitate towards your most efficient contributions. Always with a touch of humor.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Shed looking Good Simon and Gemma, don't fret or be concerned about any of the whinners out there that seem to be upset over this shed build instead of a ship happens build we know you need to build this shed to continue with Ship happens, keep doing what your doing your both doing a great job. cheers.

[@jeanhawken4482]

I so love the Hoover. It is a magic machine with our gorgeous Gemma behind it making sure it does its job. Thank you

[@juergenzenner4219]

The shed at home is even better! More time at home with the kids and you can work much more efficient without traveling. Also you can just check on things after hours when needed. Perfect this project. Love it!!!

[@Regan-d2t]

Well im one of the silent muppets that watch your channel.I look forward every week to see your output on the boat.( she is wonderfull ).I do totaly understand why you are sorting your base for building out and the cost's for saveing money. I wish i could afford to give you some goodies but cannot afford too. But i can give you my thanks for doing something i would have loved to do myself. Your liveing the life. bring it home.guy's?.

[@AlanKaufer]

Whether it’s shed happens or ship happens, it’s all progress! Great video!

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you!

[@KelvinRivers-Simpson]

So there I was waiting to go into the motorhome show at the NEC and out of the blue Simon walks past me with coffee in his hand, now as a watcher of Ship Happens since the start it made my day. Keep going I really look forward to Fridays instalments.

[@rondejoux8006]

To all the complainers, Just watch you just might learn something. I love all your videos.

[@MicBruise]

Not sure what it like in the UK, but in the U.S., the handle of a paint roller has the same thread as the handle of a push broom or a mop. You can unscrew the handle from your broom and screw that into the paint roller.

[@chrisdavies6272]

Yep, got them in the UK too.

[@andyhastings5950]

The concrete will not fully cure during your lifetime. Cement takes ~100yrs to reach full cure the it starts to deteriorate for a few thousands of years.

[@philgray3443]

We have them in Australia too, and wouldn't you know it, there are two different thread sizes! I have a brilliant Italian boat brush but cannot get a matching threaded pole for it, but swimming pool poles do fit one kind of brush and rollers too.

[@billburkart9087]

That's impressive that you had the wall CAT scanned before installing.

[@ShipHappensUK]

😂😂

[@hamshackleton]

and it wasn't a cat-astrophy!

[@dieselc68]

56 and just learnt the 3 4 5 corner rule. why I have never heard of this before! Thanks guys.

[@ShipHappensUK]

It’s good isn’t it!!

[@looyosummers5796]

Well done you too, thank you for the 3,4,5 tip.😊🍻

[@olgringo-421]

3-4-5 square corner thingy is called the Pythagorean theorem. Plus, I'm surprised you found the nail puller. Thought the Pilgrims had taken it with them to the new world back when.

[@ShipHappensUK]

The nailer puller is a proper cool tool!

[@marvindebot3264]

And bloody expensive, if you can find one. @@ShipHappensUK

[@01ripkirby]

In Australia, the standard unit of measurement is Bananas. 4 bananas east, 3 bananas north equal 5 bananas diagonally and you are all square

[@johnmorrison1180]

Exterior cladding should have protruded down passed the slab level by a couple of inches to prevent water running in under the bottom plate. But you can always go around with silastic after. Keep up the good work.

[@mhoover]

Here on the colonies we square a rectangle by measuring corner to corner both ways and kicking it about til they measure the same.

[@Shintaro99]

Always fun here, thank you!

[@ShipHappensUK]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@charlescorris3469]

Nice work…

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@arlisscott3455]

Gemma, you made my day by vacuuming the wall before it was put up! So sweet you two, you are a building dynamo! Life is an adventure at what you do! Cheers to the new shop!

[@slimjim3229]

They don't vacuum in the UK. They hoover under the parasol not the patio umbrella. These guys crack me up. I love it.

[@lauralake7430]

Just a quick hoover! Thats my girl!

[@loki7441]

Looking good. If you move everything to around the inside edge you can put the pool back up.😄 I'm just curious as to why you didn't use coated metal cladding on the walls. They would would be maintance free. I understand matching the original shed, but the cladding is relatively cheap compared to ply, at least for the back wall where you cant reach easily. But then Gemma wouldn't have anything to paint🤔. Leave tightening those anchors as long as you can. They're very close to the edge of the slab and you dont want them blowing out a chunk of concrete

[@duaneayers6117]

Those wet and cool days are sometimes the best days to build and put up a shed. It could have been 110°+ degrees. Looks Great

[@mark7321]

😊 If that's in Celsius they would be coocking 😂 or rather, parboiled ❤. UK in February and no rain, Gemma ! what where you thinking ?!❤ Love the shed happening.

[@marvindebot3264]

LOL, at 110 (43c) a Pom would be dead and I don't mean that as a joke; that temperature would kill 1000s of people if a heatwave with those temps hit the UK where people really do start dying at at around 90 or so.

[@lancemitchell7883]

Brilliant music 😊❤

[@jennyrego7321]

You guys are great, love how you give everything a go. BTW Gemma, i love the colour 😊 keep doing you and rule your own world 🥰✌️

[@barrywood5357]

Bit of a shed moment there did similar at my old house thirty years ago and its still standing and in use as a woodshed. Crack on

[@vadmal5210]

Love to see you use the ancient Greek way of measuring a right angle. Although you call it the 3-4-5 method, I'm sure you know it's the Pythagorean Theorem. Nice to see that you have plenty of room in your garden ...

[@GarageStyleLtd]

Can’t wait to see what you guys do with the floor 👀😉

[@ShipHappensUK]

The floor is going to be epic!!

[@arjanwiegers474]

Nice work again guys, that’ll be a cosy man (and women) cave 😝👍👍

[@offshoretinker]

Not much use now of course, but to avoid stress when bolting down a base plate I get an ordinary 10mm galvanised bolt with two nuts. Drill the base plate to miss the uprights and insert the bolt - one nut above, one below leaving the bolt head about 3" proud. When the concrete is poured I turn the plate over and settle the head into it. When cured I unscrew the top nut and lift off the plate. Build the wall as you did then just lift and drop onto the studs sticking up. That way avoids the risk of blowing the weak side off when using an expanding bolt.

[@Gordonnickson]

A shed load of solid and fun construction with some good tips on 'How To...', great stuff team, keep at it all for the ultimate aim. (Sarinda in French waters!)

[@MrMattDat]

Thank you so much for sharing why you went "off the water" for a bit. Anything to keep Sarinda going is a good thing!!

[@divarachelenvy]

Sweet Shed guys, You need to namestorm a name for it...

[@jenesisjones6706]

( On a side note- my Hoodie arrived today! Stoked! Can't wait for winter!)

[@Omri.Collects]

brilliant work

[@lauralake7430]

Marking the stud angles in place is brilliant. Learned something new! ❤

[@marklapierre5629]

I did that in my back yard not too long ago. I'm refitting a boat too and I needed a place where I could work on the shiny bits for the boat.

[@tonib9261]

The wall construction and framing gave me flashbacks to Hometime with Dean and Robin who all I can ever remember doing was building walls.

[@juliedouglas2888]

Great job guys.

[@petertownsend1195]

You to are just brilliant and I like your channel you are making the video on youtube.

[@kimkeam2094]

I recently made a Granny flat with a similar sloping design, however we used insulated panels. Loved it as they were steel inside and out, prepainted and 50 mm foam sandwich. Great in winter and summer and zero maintenance. Glad to see you both doing it yourself, so many skills that are imparted in the video for the next generation to learn. Nothing is impossible, just to go ahead and give it a try, you may be pleasantly surprised.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Wood faced SIPS (Structural Insulated Panels) panels are excellent but not low cost. They interlock and use PU filler foam as joint adhesive.

[@slimjim3229]

Great thumbnail. Hoovering under the parasol 😆. You guys are so funny. I love it.

[@dcallan812]

Paint your shed time, well one wall. 🤣🤣 great update on the shed 2x👍

[@eddyhammerton3310]

great work you to ...the bloody weather seems to get you where ever you are working.

[@Hairnicks]

You two are formidable, so inspirational, what a team.

[@Sluf7]

Nice job you too. Yeah thats a fair whack of dough. Being at home will make it eaiser and quicker to get stuff done. Closer for a lie down and a cup of tea and more time with the rugrats 😮😅. You guys certainly get stuff done. Good idea re cutting in half you could have also just put hzlf planks on as well but good solution anyhoo. Dam fine keep at it. 😅😊

Coming along fine.

I draw the line at social media. 🙂@@ShipHappensUK

[@pfalzgraf7527]

Definitely looks sheddy! ( in a good way!)

[@jiminauburn5073]

I am sure the shed is finished by now, but you might have wanted to overlap the sheeting on the bottom of the framing by a couple of inches. That way when you stand it up, the sheeting goes down the side of the pad, protecting that joint between the bottom of the wall and the pad from getting weather into it and under the wall. The seal you put on it will probably help, but if you overlapped it, rain would not be able to get under the wall.

[@stephenhayes6133]

Another great video, thank you, Simon and Gemma

[@ShipHappensUK]

Our pleasure!

[@nicktomlin9137]

Brilliant you two. That looked heavy. Simon will be beavering away in no time. Great work.

I can see it now ,a new channel called SIMAN SAY'S in your new work shop ! Am I right !? A 2-12 pitch around here wouldn't last , to much snow !

[@jasonsimmons8524]

I love the team work, it looked seamless.

[@arthurholroyd8550]

Yes a good job again and it will save cash in the long run 😅

[@markhorrell9213]

Here in Australia we need to have noggins cross bracing the studs every where. This stops flex while adding ridgeitty to the whole structure...but we also have cyclones n high wind loadings built into this equation. Only mentioning this if you plan on using external walls for shelving or benching. Doing great work together (as usual),a pleasure to watch!

[@marvindebot3264]

yeah, this is built like American homes, flimsily. They rely on plywood sheeting for rigidity, same with how they roof. It works I suppose but it's not how I'd prefer to build.

[@pangtjonresor]

Oh my god! You guys have so much energy, I like to see everything you build so thank you for this video. 👍🤗

[@simsjef]

You both were good when Ship Happens first began, but now you both are so relaxed as you work before the camera as you include us in what you’re doing. Your sense of humor comes thru by using the title “Shed Happens”. I’m hooked on watching any creative channel you come up with - keep up the great work.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you x

[@steveayres4736]

The diy guy on KZbin is building a workshop. Worth having a look

[@pageant1fd]

Maybe the DIY chap should watch Gem and Simon (?)

[@dereklaw3686]

Looking good. 👍

[@grendel1960a]

having just built a similar shed i can say well done, mine used 9mm OSB3 at £12 a sheet for the cladding, and then I used 2 thicknesses for the roof, the best cost saving thing I did was to use treated 75x42mm carcassing from a local timber merchant for all the structural bits, tied together by the OSB. I am happy with the final product achieved, and am sure you will be too. i insulated my walls with the reflective bubble wrap stuff, and then used pine cladding inside, and currently its maintaining a good 4-5 degrees C warmer inside than out, I also used 3 old double glazed window glasses i had lying around for windows.

Not sure what you are planning on using for the roof covering, but when I did my apex 10x10 shed i used a sheet of rubber EDPM covering so i have one sealed roof covering. Bonded on using the kit provided. Looking good so far peoples.

Im in the middle of framing my bathroom ,its interesting to see how you guys frame over there. All our walls have to have waterproof membrane. Mind you we dont clad with ply here. The walls would be either ,cement sheeting or iron generally. Youve made good progress.

Sounds grim!😊

[@Guvnor100]

@@lauralake7430 it was, remember it being number 2 or 3 in the worst job ever poll. Things would only get a lot worse if you left some metal in the timber, we'd hear the distinct 'tink' of the saw hitting something metal and know the mill owner would be coming out within the minute with a red face and raging. You'd get read the riot act and put on a last chance. Oh and you'd better speed up too, we'd get container loads of timbers delivered In the morning, 200 year old French oak sidings from French trains, the odd timber pier, vinegar vats, purple heart, lignum vitae, Rhodesian and Burmese teak, maple gym floors, anything timber. You can't get a lot of these timbers nowadays, such a shame. Don't miss the job though lol.

Would like to listen to the music you use on the channel. Thanks for all your videos of the boat re-build!

[@TrapShooter68]

Probably should have put some battens on the back wall at the joints in the sheeting. Some 1 x 2s with some kind of sealant to keep them from separating and leaking. Otherwise, great work!

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Too late now, but I would have gone for resin anchors. They grip extremely well but don’t put any mechanical stress into the concrete. Aluminium tape over the board joints is also a good idea. Apply after first coat of paint then paint over.

[@harrisonandrew]

Love it! ❤❤❤

[@BobSmith-st1wq]

Concrete will never fully cure; it continually hardens forever, although for all practical purposes, it reaches a point where further hardening will be so slow as to unnoticeable. Unless the mix has retarder (or some cement replacement material) in it, it will generally be hard enough to walk on in less than 24 hours.

[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

I was hoping you guys would have installed a sliding barn door (wheels on a track). That way you'd have at least 3/4 of a walls worth of opening for those really large projects, oh well. Love the 'barn look' view from the house, very western. Do you have to obtain a building permit to build the shed? Here in the US the 'government makes you obtain a permit for everything, that way they can tax you on what you've built. Really, crappy government over-reach. Anyway, it's all look great. Take care, be well, don't over do it ~ Hugs 🤗💕Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾

[@davidflamee]

Taking shape nicely, really solid too. I'm imagining a clear roof for light to come in? some of those corrugated perspex panels? it'll be interesting to see what you have planned either way. Shed some light on the matter! I'm looking forward to see how you utilise the space inside, for positioning of tools, benches etc. Your experience in furnishing camper vans should come in very handy for the task ahead.

If there is a maximum exterior height allowed you should have dug down the floor slab. With the slab with curbs up above ground level. Don't raise the roof. Lower the floor. This is an anti head banger idea
