    It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

    As a quick insight to my background and knowledge of coatings, I was a spray painter at Disneyland in california for a decade or so but with the paint department for twenty-six years.
    If you can get your shop at least three or four feet high and it can be SAFELY blocked up and secured I recommend you rent an airless spray painter and apply the coating that way - we used bitumastic on the lower exterior surface of the 'submarines' we had, and inside of the trains steam tanks as well, and several other areas where deterioration due to water/rust or rot were a concern.
    But two things to know is, NEVER "test" the pressure of an airless gun like painter's do with an air supplied spraygun - YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FINGERS! as the pressure will flay (cut) your skin from the bone and this happened to one of our "Journeyman" painters no-less.
    The second thing is some people are VERY sensitive to bitumastic coming in contact with their skin so make sure you use a heavy duty spray suit, rubber gloves and proper spray mask if you decide to do this your self but if you don't want to spray it, get a brush similar to the ones used to wash a car with because they cover much better than a mop and will be much more manageable than a mop will be.
    Best of luck and if you have any questions contact me at:

    • @Keep-Making
      @Keep-Making  4 роки тому

      Hey Seb, Well, the wood is very much pressure treated. Plus it's on slabs and a thin layer of DPM to take it off from the slabs. Yes in an ideal world I would have it raised 10 - 20 cm off the ground... having said that I had some Crazy cut-throat limiting factors. Considering I'm 194cm and I only had 250cm to work with. Only left me with 56cm for the roof, Lighting, headroom, floor, base and airspace underfloor. I decided to just my losses and take a risk with no gap. Come 1 Year into the build I'll do a small investigation to see how it's all doing tho. I did have input from quite a feel joiners tho and they all told me this would hold up at least 5 - 10 years. Maybe more if I add some good drainage.

    Great video BTW, very well made. I'm unsure what do do with my flat roof. For extra water tightness should I vapour barrier the roof or use some left over dpm I have? If so what does my felt bind to, only the vapour barrier/dpm? Won't it flap about? I don't really want to roof nail the felt as I dont want to put holes into the felt? How do i get around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

    • @Keep-Making
      @Keep-Making  4 роки тому +1

      Honestly speaking this was one of of my biggest consequences too. My fall back / playing it safe option was to use black jack all weather roof coating it's a crazy rugged bitumen paint and with 2 - 3 coats of that stuff and your roof should be good for a solid few years... I hope that comes in handy. Ans keep safe if you so use it. It's some sinky, sicky stuff. Eye protection and full separator is a MUST! (Also mix it very well and a stiff large brush works best in my opinion)

    Excellent workshop mate 👍🏻 bit of friendly advice though that codelock is not suitable for that purpose ideally use a 5 lever BS sash lock, codelock Is ok for interior office door but not for exterior door, Also hinges need replacing for more heavy duty. Sashlock will provide a lot more security. Other than that it's absolutely spot on what you've done as your first workshop

    Hi there, really tasty work. Well done. I plan on starting a 16 x 10 foot shed in the next month but I have a question.
    Regarding your breathable membrane and insulation....This is only a question, not some smart statement, but is there not supposed to be a air gap between your outermost timbers and the insulation to allow for cool air transfer and avoid sweating? I'm a bit confused by some conflicting information, Is your shed staying dry? Cheers man.

But, thankfuly as i made it all a breathing structure I have no problem with moisture and it's all still dry.

      Hey Tony,
      That's one hell of a project you got on your hands there. Would this roof be slanted? What depth of soil are you going for? Do you have a thickness of joists in mind? I know quite a few joiners that build green roof houses so if you let me know this info i'll pop them over a message and see what they say for you 😀

As for plans... Well, i'm sorry to say that they are not public just yet. Are you in a rush? In a little while, i'll be doing a few videos on the plans and how to do it all in blender. As for cost-wise... I don't think so.... The Kingspan is actually quite cheap. I think the roof was the dearest, the felt, glue and the blackjack all together are quite costly but worth it... Take a look at the Q and A video as there is quite a bit of info in there and the link in the description of that video has a list of everything I used.

    Great build. I'm interested as I'm planning a garden build next spring - so one quick question. Why did you choose to put the floor inbetween the base and walls rather than have the floor inside the overall frame?

    • @Keep-Making
      @Keep-Making  4 роки тому

      Cheers Daz, i'm glad you enjoyed it. Honestly speaking, I just followed what a few joiners told me to do.... But long and the short there is not too much diffrence. You could argue that putting the walls on the floor they have more surface area for support. But in all reality on as long as you screw it down well I would imagen you would be good. I know that for home construction in the UK they seem to put the walls ontop of the floors. But not really sure why. Good luck with the project.

    Hi Jonathan, Great build video. Were did you source the door and windows for the build? Also I was wondering if you had any plans you could share about how the roof was made? (e.g. what cuts to make and difference in height between front and back wall?)

    • @Keep-Making
      @Keep-Making  4 роки тому +1

      I sourced the door and windows form my local scrap / recycling center. As for the roof pitch... That really does change depending on the size of the build. In my area is strongly recommended to have a pitch of a minimum of 5 degrees. My roof is a 7 degrees pitch from my highest point of 2.5m. I hope that helps.

    Jonathan, in all the years of extensive daily youtube viewing, you're the second producer I have contacted. I hope you are using your workshop for video production. Never have I watched such a potentially prosaic video where the production has been so marvellous. A little attention needed to splice the music seamlessly, but, nevertheless, a pleasure to view. So much so, I have lost the thread and will need to watch again, and perhaps again. I am smiling from ear to ear as I listen through headphones. Awesome! Watching again will be far from a chore.
    Not forgetting to mention how good your workmanship is on the build. Very impressed that you actually showed the dismantling of the old shed, which is an excellent touch - seeing the build process in reverse.
    Gonna watch again now, and my wife's invited this time. She's a real rock fan, so don't know how she'll react.

    • @Keep-Making
      @Keep-Making  4 роки тому

      Hey there Ruddy, I'll have a video coming out in a little while where i'll have a lot more detail on it all. All the wood in just pressure treated timber 95x45mm or 45x145mm the flooring is standard house construction tongue and grove treated flooring. The insulation is 100mm slab rock wool as I wanted sound absorption over thermal retention. I love that you have enjoyed the video so much and that i may have inspired you. As for the cost of the build, in total around £1200 a little more info in the video description. Sounds like 80% of your quote is labour. Which in all honesty is I can't really say much on as it really depends on skill, experience and quality. But to give you a rough Idea I charge £50 an hour as a minimum and I would say For a client this would be a 60 - 100 hour job just one guy doing it. I don't know your full personal situation but If your fine with hard labour, screw-ups and the adventure of learning on the job It's a great project. My top tip is PLANNING! down to the last screw.... It will help greatly! Plus make sure you are clued up on your local restrictions. Hope that helps and good luck with whichever decision you make 😀

      One more question, suppose I have a go myself and mid project it starts raining, can I leave the pressure treated timber out in the rain. I.e if I build the shell of the unit and leave it exposed bare for a few days or rain, will the timber go bad?

      No problem Ruddy,
      Long and the short is the dryer it stays the easier it is to work with and over all less problems there are to deal with. i.e. easer to cut, work has not expanded yet ect
      I personally got myself a few blue tarps and covered everything to the best of my ability when I was not working on it or if it was raining.

I did have a little problem with cupping wood. But once I added my topcoat of sealing oil that pretty much stopped 90% of all my warping issues. Fingers crossed for a cold winter tho. It's been through once already but I would not really call it a "cold" one.

  • @iamneallyons4263
    @iamneallyons4263 4 роки тому

    I think it's a solid effort mate - I would have maybe fitted the insulation boards in the flooring flush with the top of your timbers before covering it with ply - an maybe do some vertical batons on the outside of the breathable membrane before and attach the shiplap to them so you give a little space for the inside to breath out! Overall seems decent through, roof should be alright to as you've got a gutter up etc.

    • @Keep-Making
      @Keep-Making  4 роки тому

      Cheers Iamneallyons,
      I'm glad you've seen the built form the point of view as a growing lesson for myself as it really is. The vertical batons for sure were needed but by the time I realised it was too late. I did talk to a joiner or two about that and they said I should be ok but to just keep an eye on it. As for the insulation under the floor I have had both advised to me form joiners and I did not know which to go with. So, in the end, I went with the one that I thought fitted best into my way of thinking. If to surfaces are super close then it can turn into a beautiful condition trap which Is the last thing I really wanted. As for the roof i'm more than pleased with it. I was a little worried when it was just the felt but once I put 2 layers of all-weather bitchumen paint on it I gathered it would be more than fine. Thanks for the kind words and letting me know for this I should watch out for in the future 😊
