FREE SCRAP SHED. CABIN PROJECT #4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2024
- In this video, I am using all the free scrap wood I can find on my cabin property to make my shed. Choosing to do this makes the construction complicated and time-consuming. But, it is so fun to do. Figuring out how to fit all the weird pieces together is really cool and it makes for an awesome-looking cabin.

It doesn’t matter that the shed is not “perfect “….. it’s perfect for you and your needs and that’s all that really matters. I love that you used what you had on site and didn’t just let the materials go to waste.
Amen
It's a sin to let the plywood rot or to burn it. Use it.
Anything you can build "on the cheap' doesn't need to be perfect anyway 😁
He uses 3 inch screws to fasten 3/4 plywood 😂
@reginasmith2629, I agree with you wholeheartedly. It was such a joy to watch Jay figure it out and make it happen with what he had on hand.
Jay a roll of tyvek will weather proof the outside of the shed.
Also an idea. Some sheds and outhouses in Alaska use the corrugated pvc panels on the roof to let natural light in and the snow slides off.
Cheers
My thoughts exactly!
Yes! A tool belt and a bug killer. It’s official, Jay is here to stay. Just love this series as you learn and grow and let us come with you. You’re like “Everyman” all us old folks and young’ens too, to watch, learn and grow while watching over your shoulder. Your enthusiasm and unique laugh are so infectious. C’mon folks just hit subscribe it’s free and fun to watch!!
Thanks for this comment and the support, Sandra!
Hey pal, just take a minute and know this, as a subscriber to your channel and avid camper/outdoors person, I am not the only one who’s envious of your cabin and choices to pursue your dreams of being off grid in a cabin in the woods. Keep them coming Jay and you’re doing great buddy. Cheers
Toolbelt, nails, use all spare materials for good shed and take time to fish… Living the Dream! Great work Jay and thanks for sharing the journey.
Jay, this video was my favorite. You are figuring things out as you go along and not being wasteful. I love that you are being frugal and showing your internet family how things can be recycled and repurposed to make something new. I was so happy throughout this video and was talking to you (my laptop) as you made one decision after the other. Then you capped it all off by figuring out the propane issue. I actually gasped when the pilot lit up. YOU ROCK!!!
Awesome comment. Thanks so much. Jay
Hello Jay! Nice job on “ Frankenshed “! Looking forward to seeing the roof and door go on!
"Frankenshed!" Love it! 😅
Great name
Sometimes you just need to subscribe to the adage, "It ain't pretty, but it's functional"
Great job Jay!..you've come a long way!
Thats what I said, in different works.
Jay, what I'm liking the most about your cabin projects is that you have a vision and plan in your head. Watching you make that vision happen, and seeing how happy you get when things come together. Keep it up, you'll make it happen!!!
Jay, I'm not an outdoor girl and I hate bugs (lol), but I LOVE watching your channel. You're doing awesome. Always a little sad when it's over. ❤
Like my grandmother used to say - "Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without!" It's a good motto.
You had a very smart grandmother rtyria🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😊
@@judyschepp8748 Oh yes. Very much so.
I love seeing you living your dream. You always talked in your older videos about wanting your own cabin and fixing it up, and now you are doing it!! It is amazing seeing the channel grow. And I’m excited now that you are focusing on the channel full time that the videos are beginning to be longer and I’m seeing new videos more frequently. I can’t wait for the hunting videos and i ABSOLUTELY cant wait for winter ❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️
Jay, if I may. When you have a fish on the line, hold your rod tip up, which maintains pressure on the fish and less likely to lose it.
Your channel is a winner! You have what it takes for making good videos. You are positive, entertaining with your chuckles and caring and truthful. Thank you!
Hey Jay: Way to go using the scrap wood and making it work. Loved the fishing coverage. My husband and I look forward to every episode. Thanks for sharing.
I think it is looking fantastic, Jay. Look at it as a patchwork quilt. Same concept. And I like the history behind it in that all the wood was used from on site. Don't ever sell yourself short. You are lovin' it out there and I'm so happy for you.
Looking like a real pro with the nail bag Jay. 😊. Well done on the jigsaw puzzle, good reuse.
You made a sensible choice between a pile of lumber beneath the cabin and a shed. Don't worry about the patchwork design, a coat of paint and nobody will notice.
Next challenge is figuring out how to frame a doorway into the remaining wall. You're going to learn a lot from that. 🙂
No paint necessary. It looks great the way it is.🎉🎉🎉 But sadly paint would protect it somewhat from the elements and make it last longer, so Dave is right❤❤😊😊😊
This channel gets Better and Better by the day. Keep up the good work Jay.
Thank you for this comment. Jay
I absolutely enjoy seeing the amount of joy you show when you finally decide to just go with your mind…it’s truly inspirational.
Like Dolly Partons 'coat of many colors', yours is a 'shed of many colors'. And proud of it! Nice work, Jay!
Love what you are doing. Incredible backdrop.
Now the propane…that screw on the tank is the liquid fill. When filling the tank, that screw is opened and when liquid begins to come out, the tank is at 80%. That is all that propane tanks get filled to. I think what is happening to you is the “OPD” (overfill protection device) will “slug shut” if the tank is opened quickly and gas is trying to fill that long gas line going to your stove. That OPD thinks there might be a leak and slugs shut. It will reset itself after a period of time when the pressure gets pushed back on it. If you open the tank valve really slowly like just cracking it and let a slow release of gas to fill and pressurize the line then you will be fine. If the tank has gone completely empty, then after you pressurize the line and you hear the gas flowing at the stove, you can open all the burners at once to evacuate all the air out of that line. Be sure to keep a lit match at one of the burners so you know you are getting gas and not air. You can use 1 burner, it just takes longer. Be sure to lite the oven pilot too. Remember that all 3 pilots will be burning gas all the time so to save gas, turn the tank off completely when you are away.
Wish I could just head up there and help out. Keep up the good work and videos.
You show what a real men is all about! Greets from the netherlAnds❤
Jay, from Pretoria, South Africa: man, that shed is quite something! I see you will have tons of space for shelves in the shed walls. Keeo going!😂
Turning out great! Especially for not having all the proper materials. Important to enjoy the build as well. I'd be grateful to have that property!
Jay, you remind me of myself so much ! You will be blown away in a couple years looking back at your hard work and seeing where you came from in knowledge to what so much more you will know then. I'm so excited for you Jay, many good times to come 👍
Something to be proud of for sure !
Great show. As an old man I can't help but give you some sage advice after watching this episode. With pike that tame and hungry: Don't ever consider skinny dipping in that lake!
Haha
Looking good Jay. Way to reuse what you have available. No worries about doing it right because you are. Having fun and being happy is what it is all about. Nice video.
It's such a joy watching you live your dream!
Saved money + used what you already had = GREAT JOB !! ❤
Great job Jay. Who cares what others think, as long as it works for you, that’s what matters
Jay, I'm going back to watch some of your earlier videos, i really enjoy watching you tackle the cold and subdue the bitter temps by hard work and vigilance to do what is necessary to survive. No better feeling than facing the elements head on and coming up victorious!!! Im diligently waiting for that "next" video and enjoy watching you learn as you go with the cabin and other structures. So glad you are now a full time "tuber". Keep up the great work on this channel. Tim from Maine. USA
Enjoy your videos, Jay. Two small recommendations for your shed: 1) put a few cross-members/rafters from one side to the other; and 2) with just a small amount of house wrap covering the exterior of the shed, you'll get far more longevity out of it. Left to the elements, the bare plywood will take a beating and won't last long. Keep up the good work!
Even though you were a news man behind the scenes so to speak, I think your voice and your presentation is like a very expirienced TV reporter. There is some calmness in your videos that I can get good night sleep after watching your videos😀 Cheers from 🇫🇮. And hey…. We just got five new Stanley Cup winners for Finland from Florida Panthers😉
Jay don't apologize if they are only watching to criticize they must not have a life and are envious of yours, I've been following you for a long time and enjoy every minute, just be careful you're all alone there🎉
Great use of scraps. Saves money in the long run.
Built the hunting camp in Vermont 37 years ago and not a square wall. standing and grand kids love it. It serves the purpose and will do for future generations
Another great update on future plans. With chores completed, some fishing to start the day! I’m so looking forward to the cabin progress, the hunt and travels. All the best wishes for new career choice my friend. You’re in the best place in the world.
There is no right or wrong way to do anything... just different! Keep doing your thing, were all here for you.
Best line .."it's not perfect, but it's mine".. That's why you're one of the best to watch.... real person,doing real things. Also how did the thermacell work? Been thinking of getting one?
Jay, I really enjoy watching your channel. I'm learning right along with you. I just wanted to pass along some information:
- the general rule of thumb for screw length is half the thickness of your bottom material. So, if you are attaching 3/4" (19mm) material into a 2 x 4 (1.5" x 3.5"), you want your screw to enter the 2 x 4 at least 3/4 an inch. That would mean your minimum screw length is 1.5".
- fun fact, the distance from the tip of your thumb to the first knuckle is roughly 1".
- On your stove, you may have dust in the gas orifices. You can try using a can of compressed air to blow the dust out. I have to do that once a year with my gas fireplace.
Hope these tips help. Keep on building and pushing yourself. You are doing amazing! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Jay got a tool belt best buy 🎉
Shed is coming along great. Your channel is great .. love the fishing
Thank you
Makes me so content to see you so relaxed and happy !
The tetris shed. Very cool Jay.
Once again you proved you are a regular Joe! The cost of lumber nowadays has skyrocketed so to use what you have makes all the sense in the world. Good on you , Jay! Can't wait to see the finished build!! Keep on doing what ya love cause us regular Joe's are loving it!!!! Have a great week!
You are wrong, he is not a regular Joe he is a regular Jay! 😁👍❤️
@@igormarkovCDN I stand corrected!!!
Great job on the shed Jay. By the way, whenever you disconnect the propane bottle each time you will need to bleed off the air that gets into the line between the bottle and the stove. And the best way to do that is to turn the knobs on all the way for 15-20 seconds until you get rid of the air, then it will light. The pilots won't light either till this is done.
Love watching you hammering away creating and building wonderful things they don’t have to be perfect but as long as as it works to your liking then it’s perfect so keep up doing what you’re doing cause it’s looks perfect to us until your next video stay safe stay strong and may god watch over you in this amazing adventure my friend 🙏❤️✌🏼🔨🪚🪛
The shed looks great! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I got a mate that collected pallet wood for 3 years bought a planer and got the wood a bit smoother then he looked for cheap land and is now building a 32m2 cabin out of pallet wood and was lucky to get free 4-9mm plywood sheats from transport boxes for farm spares and machinery :) only cost so far is screws, nailes, the coulking hes using to doubble up the thinner plywood sheets and its friggin awesome :) i envy him a fair bit tbh!
Love from Norway. You are doing a Great jobb 👍👍🌞🌹
Hello again Jay! That will be a strong shed! I have an idea, all you have to do is paint it with good couple coats of outdoor paint and it will look like new! Great job using leftover wood from previous owner! ❤
Your shed reminds me of the camps we built when we were kids. Valuable lessons learned using scrounged material. We even reused our nails. Also, try running a wire through your stoves burner lines. I have found spiders like to build webs in them at it seriously impedes gas flow. Keep up the good work.
Awesome job! Why waste any wood that could be use for other less important things it’s a shed to hold your wood burning!!! Thanks for sharing Jay and keeping us on a laugh with you love your Charisma❤
JAY, I LLLOOOOVVVVEEEE THAT SHED, IMPERFECTIONS AND ALL🎉🎉😂❤❤😊
Hello Jay , from Belgium i just want to tell you this about your skills of building : some person's imperfection is someone else's perfection .
keep dpoing what you love to do ......
have a nice week
Right on Jay 👍👍👍 you did great. Tell Crystal hello 🙋♀️👋
Fantastic job Jay. Greetings from Poland.
hey jay please keep the food excitement and your NWT living going… along with your builds.
Another fantastic video Jay! You're never to old to learn new things. Looking forward to the next video as always. Cheers
Thanks jay. Happy to see you more often. Can't wait for what the future brings to the cabin. And the channel. B
I’d suggest bringing in pieces of metal corner bead to tie the walls together. You could run a bead of caulk on all your seams and corners, paint it with waterproof paint and then put the corner trim on to help seal it.
Some of my best quilts have been made from scraps. They may not be pretty but they have character. Just like the shed. ❤
Wow I followed you at about 60k subs, it's awesome to see you hit over 200k. I love your content
You are the man!!!! Should you ever decide to write a book about your life in the woods it should be..Jay in the woods... Keep those videos coming.
You’re doing great Jay. Keep up the good work. You’ll get everything done that you want to achieve Sending hugs from Australia
You did great you are officially a working man now a homesteader😊
Jay, Nice new tool belt. Have to say, love the way you do take suggestions. Keep the great content coming.
This is going to be a fun journey, Jay. Thanks for the videos. Can't wait for the hunting aspect of the channel. The "FrankenShed" looks great. Keep it up.
It’s so fun to watch someone who truly enjoys the simplest things in life. Don’t worry about eating meat it’s really the best thing for you. I’m a carnivore and 61 and never been healthier. Eat the meat. Ditch the cooking oil!
Jay love and enjoy watching your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and working on your cabin and shed
Throw some inexpensive outdoor paint on that shed and call it completed.
For the propane tank throw it like you did the Jackery!
You remind me of my pa who used what was available in building. Everything is re-usable and nothing wasted lol.
The shed looking very good 👍👍👍👍
I have a ton of wood pallets. Wife wanted a she shed. It turned out very cool. With two windows
You doing a great work sir hi from sweden
Jay, sooo love your videos. Been subscribed for awhile and totally enjoyed your adventures! But need to say, recent videos have been so entertaining! Love watching the build on the cabin and shed. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Also, keep that giggle coming! Makes us giggle!!
It’s a shed. Use what you have on the land. Smart looking shed.
Yay, tool belt AND clamps!
Making life so much easier
Jay, give yourself a pat on the back you’re doing an awesome job. When my dad and my two uncles build our cabin, they didn’t know what they were doing, but it turned out OK and we built so many memories there and guess what it’s still standing to this day my cousin owns it now. You’re gonna have so many great stories to tell down the road when your place is done and you can really enjoy it. Why don’t you start a journal. It will give you something to look back on. Just a suggestion. Love the videos.
Love these videos Jay!! Look forward to all the variety videos coming up!!!
Keep your head up, you are doing great!
Thanks Jay for sharing this great video adventure taking us with you enjoy watching your videos thanks Jay 👍 👏 😊
Enjoying watching your videos. Shed is perfect plus using up lumber, is wise.
Looking nice 👍👍
Shed Frankenstein lives !!
Brilliant move using the attached corner as a pivot point.
Thanks Joe.
When putting plywood on, just screw some scrap 2x4 where you want the bottom to sit. Makes it easier when working alone.
Keep up the great content. Enjoy yhe channel.
Frankenstein shed… cool! Love your channel. 👍🏻👏
Thank you Spiritual Girl.
Love your videos Jay and keep posting them. I really like the music in your videos, accompanies them well. I hope you will put at least one window in your shed, otherwise you will not have any natural light.
A beautiful country you live in and nice to see from where I am in London.
every day a learning day no matter how old you are im 70 and still learning and if your shed serves its purpose thats all that matters really enjoying your vids
Good Video,Jay, and once again I am ENVIOUS of your solitude!
Love your channel. Good to see you in the summer to! 👍🏻
Look forward to your videos. Hope to see more!
Tyvek wrap for a bit of waterproofing? Clear corrugated roofing to let light in? Great shed and learning. You go.
👍👍👍 Lookin' Good ! Thanks 🙌
My pleasure
You should paint the name Frankenshed on the door! Way to use what you have!
So glad you got the stove working. The shed is looking mighty fine to me. Using scrap wood is smart. Slinters are no fun. I was thinking that on your way in next time, while in your boat out on the lake, do some fishing in the deeper water. If you do catch some fish, either put in a bucket of lake water or the frig. until you can get to them to clean for a meal.
Don’t forget to light oven pilot light as well because propane comes out of line there to I got exactly same stove sometimes if don’t work hook air hose to blow lines out
Jay really love watching your videos and admiring your achievements. Best wishes from Scotland 😀
