Sometimes you don't realize how tired you get with these builds, and being just a little off balance can cause great injury. This video is awesome! Build another thing so we can watch. :)

31:45 I wonder if you couldn't have used the router table to add a small groove on the backside of the drip cap to sort of let it fit with the top of the skirt to make it seat better. Also using caulk on the back side to seal it against the structure before nailing it. This combo might have prevented it from warping over time as you had described. You said it looks good still, but just it a little warped wonky when you get close up, and you could technically pull it up and redo it now if you want, before the wood ages too much as the color doesn't match anymore, but that's up to you. I don't know how much it has warped.

I think a workshop/storage is fine with this type of shed build. For an office you would need heating, electricity and isolation - so much different requirements for the build. Still doable with some adjustments though. With "real" isolating windows that let's sunshine in, thicker isolated walls... it could be possible for most of the year. And it still can be off-grid if you add solarpanels and a small battery for electricity and a small propane heater maybe.

Lovely video and shed! Well done! I loved that you shared your thought process and mistakes along the way. I'm sure that you've already thought about this but you could have done the same thing with the main roof that you did for the first floor overhang. In fact, it used to be quite common to sheath the perimeter of the roof deck with cedar planks (just above the overhangs and use OSB for the rest) so you could see them from below. The use of corbels on the first floor overhang would have worked well for the look-outs and would have supported the cedar planks while preventing you from cutting individual pieces to fit between rafters.

So far, it's holding up great (we're about a year out from the build now). Hours? Not totally sure - recording videos added on a lot of time. I'd say if we weren't recording & making videos, we likely would have finished within ~6 weeks or so. If we were to build it again, I'd say it'd be around ~3-4 weeks (less thinking about what to do). 🙂 If it was going to be a living situation instead of a shed, we also would have gone with a zip system (or similar system to zip), and put flashing above the windows properly. 🙂

Even just more of the same stuff used on the main roofing. The shingles just seem outside the Japanese aesthetic for me. Thanks for making these vids!

The only thing that sort of sticks out for me is the 1 st story "roofing being such a big slope compared to the top roof.....maybe a lesser slope on the (1st floor) would have looked better,but still looks great as it is. Also,maybe some battens added to the plain ,visible siding would make it look more like board and batten,or even just paint some lines on to make it look like boards, instead of a solid sheet of plywood.could just be a darker or lighter shade of black,might look good. I also do a lot of "faux" asian style in my buildings,using both western fo better insulation,and more traditional joinery where really visible.and trim,both inside and outside,to mimic joinery also.and a thicker,rough troweled plaster(joint compound,really)on inside over drywall to mimic more traditional walls. I have been getting into more real asian style joinery,too,it is very satisfying,but slower and often unfortunately gets sort of covered up in the end. Thanks again,and best wishes.

I'm planning on building my own little place in the near future and I was debating about how certain things would join together. I'm not saying that I'll copy what you guys did, but I do love seeing all the different ideas that went into this. If I show this to my mom, hopefully she'll finally understand that it IS possible to build things without hiring a team of strangers to do everything at ridiculous prices. She's worried that 1 person would be too slow or too dangerous and says paying double the cost for half the value is "worth it" "just so it can be done and over with". Honestly, I LOVE LOVE LOVE building stuff myself, it's so satisfying and... it's kinder to the budget. I think she assumes that her idea of "fast" is too fast for me and it's equal to 1 window a day or something..... I think her mind math is a little off, lol. I think the only thing that might make me go that slow is if I built a staircase by hand, it's the one thing I struggle with... luckily ladders exist, at least until I get those right 😂 At least I would get to customize the space at no extra cost. I think it's better to make it right the first time rather than to spend the rest of the time accommodating the compromises/imperfections. Like, how many times do you have to duck or bang your head before you finally regret paying someone to build it wrong for you? 😅
@buildingmodern2 ай бұрын
Absolutely, go for it! One quick word of caution - be sure to look into how to build to code for your local county & city. What we have done here is approved in our area, but wouldn’t be approved in other areas. So, really, I seriously mean it - learn your local building code. If it’s a dwelling (someone will be living/sleeping in it), this is *extra* important as you’ll also need to pull homeowners permits and pass inspections (this only costs $50 in our area). Your foundation will be different - either sonotubes or a poured/cinderblock wall foundation with rebar. That said, it’s honestly not too hard to do as long as you go slow, look into the proper techniques/code, and use the right tools. For reference, for this build, it would have been anywhere from $35k to $100k to have it built - we built it ourselves for $5500. 😁 (though, it took months)

It looks amazing. You guys forgot to build a full bathroom and kitchen insiden the shed / "tiny house". My thought is if you guys have a bigger house, you could rent that out and live in the tiny house / shed. If you insult it, build a full bathroom and kitchen. :)

The final result is just awesome!!! 🤩, i love the Japanese style 🇯🇵🏯, i would like to share you a creation i made a few years ago and in my spare time, i built a Japanese temple dors in concrete, formwork with wood and poured in one go, all integrated into a boundary wall. 😊 Respectfully, one love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Beautiful build! You should sell the plans.

lol, bold of you to assume we had plans 😂 But seriously, we never made real plans. At least, I don’t think we did that anyone would want to buy. 😅
