Here is a little tip. When you make the framing for the floor. Get some cheap, The cheaper the better, Powered Detergent mix it up thick like it is paint. Paint the frame with it. It makes it termite proof, and rot resistant, Plus the shed will smell good. Good job thanks.
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
I love how all of these DIY shed builds are showing up on UA-cam! Imagine building your own house. It’s just putting several of these different shaped sheds/buildings together. Not impossible, but just takes a little extra planning. Thanks for posting. You did a great job!
I agree with you! I’ve been watching a few periodically! I helped my dad build a shed yrs ago! It wasn’t big enough unfortunately! ?!10x10!? I wished we built this size or bigger! 20x20 lol!!!! A small shed fills up quickly!
And a much better foundation than this, too. This setup is ok for a shed on flat ground away from significant water, but you gotta do your research on what you're sticking your home on!
Great Job,,,I am 65 and older than you nw but saw the similarities in how you managed to get it done all by your self,,i seldom had help when i built sheds and garage,,took years to figure out how to do it,,now folks have you tube with great videos like your to get ideas on tps and tricks,,
Yea there is no excuse not to go out and get things done nowadays with all the information sources right at your finder tips. There are so many little techniques and tricks you pick up along the way that make a huge difference especially when trying to accomplish a big project like this.
I've been watching a lot of shed building videos and didn't really have to watch this one but it was no problem anyway even with my attention deficit. So many people love to hear themselves talk for 20 mins to explain one simple thing or put obnoxious music on there, or sometimes even both! This was really nice. Thanks for sharing.
I grew up building cabinets and I have not done any wood working in 15 plus years. This makes me wanna get back into it and build something I can live in.
Forget a shed, this is a home to most people. Pay this man to build these all over the country! Get together like a few dozen men, pay them good and buy the materials and start making these shed homes and put them in like a shed lot for the less fortunate instead of them all living on the ground in sleeping bags like animals.
It's nice to see a proper overhang so many people don't and it looks unfinished and I worry about moisture in the wall good job. Building an addition next summer 😊
This was calming to watch. Love timber construction and furniture. Learned a lot just from watching too. Thanks. The professionalism is so evident. Make this look so easy.
@@oneofgodschildren You must not have been paying attention Julie, within the first ten seconds of the video you see me using a laser level to ensure my foundation blocks are all the same height.

Best shed video! Best DIY summary in general! Just straight up doing it, start to finish. No real questions to ask afterwards. Makes me think I can do this now, and which order to start in. Thanks!
We have a 26x40 foundation that we want to build on. We have to do it ourselves because hiring it done is too expensive. Videos like this are perfect hopefully we can do it.
Curious if you regret not putting a vapor barrier down. I did a feed room and forgot to and the advantech got soft after a few years. Good build, though. Useful video. Thanks.
AWESOME JOB !!!! , you made my body ache just watching you go up and down the ladder so many times a day. I bet it took you about 2 weeks to complete. Wonderful Job again..
Thanks Ryan that means a lot. I'm glad you liked it. Don't forget to watch part 2. You'll probably really enjoy my Gazebo build video too. Check it out.
Great build. I like that you put proper ventilation under the roof. Most of the sheds that people get delivered don’t allow for this and also have minimal overhang. I see people converting many sheds to tiny houses without regard to moisture escaping under the roof.
Thanks Chris, I have my CNC and laser in there on one half then a gym on the other so I def need good ventilation. Part two will be installing vented soffits and electrical.
I like the tie down thing you did. It’s windy where I live and that was on the list. Looked good to me. I guess I need to google it to get a better look.
Thank you so much for your videos. I hope you can tell me when I need double 2x4 on top wall and when just one 2x4. They carry or hold all rafters. One es enough??
The previous home owner use to park a camper on the gravel lot. I compacted the areas where the blocks went. There are definitely better ways to do a foundation but I went with the easy cheap way. So far after two years i haven't noticed any movement
I wish I would have watched videos like this several years ago. I built a 12x12 building without any planning. It actually turned out great, except for the fact that I put it directly in contact with the ground and now 8-9 years later it's starting to rot at the bottom. Nice video and build.
If you still have the problem you might look into Eurotec adjustable pedestals. I don't know if they are for actually lifting, but you could probably get them under the shed and get it off the ground with a little digging and some jacking.
Thanks Jason, glad you enjoyed it. Be on the lookout for my next project. It's going to be a huge custom built timber framed gazebo with pergola over hangs. Sitting on a big paver patio!
WOW. The thought of you pretty much doing alone is super impressive. You make it look easy. I'm having the exact size but a Malibu style built now by "pros" and mine doesn't look half this nice...great job! Thanks for taking the time to video to help people like me out.
Yea doing it alone is definitely rough. Just trying to maneuver a full sheet of 3/4 plywood up a ladder onto a roof is a nightmare. Especially if it's windy out
@@KeimpieceCarpentry Really appreciate that you are generous enough to share not only a complete build video but also the plans for your shed. Thank you sir.
Another awesome video young man. I think the most impressive thing is you're a one man show. You should be proud that you built it completely by yourself. I would love to have a workshop just like that one. Great job.
Great video. I love the editing and how you showed the steps you took in building the shed. I have to rebuild mine and after watching your video, I can't wait to get started.
Fantastic! Definitely confidence inspiring. But it’s also evident you have some experience in construction. Even so, you certainly make it look easy. I’m debating tackling a job like this myself.
go for it! While I certainly have experience building things out of wood, this is only the second shed I've built. Other than that, I don't have any other experience building houses or framing. Just watched some videos on youtube to learn. You can do it! buy the plans and watch the video and you'll be all set
@@KeimpieceCarpentry Thank you for the vote of confidence! I’m surprised this is only the second shed you’ve built. I would’ve guessed your full-time job was in construction. Did you have any issues preparing the ground where you built? My main problem will be ensuring a level surface. Thanks again.
@@Army4Runner No, that gravel pad was there when I bought the house and as you can see I just laid some blocks down and ensured they were level with a laser. I def could have done a better foundation system, I just did the quick easy way. You can use a laser or a water level. If you watch my gazebo build video you'll see how the water level works.
You should have off set your floor sheeting so the butt joints don't line up. Start your 2nd course with a 4' piece and 3rd course with full sheet. This distributes the load more evenly on the joists.
yea you're right. that's what i originally planned to do but it was such a pain in the ass moving those things around and getting the tongue and groove to line up i just said F it
Oh man I didn't even notice that when I first watched it. That's a big no no . You must stagger everything when you build,it makes it stronger and won't pop up at the seams. You have to do it in block,brick, plywood subfloor and sheathing, drywall, finish floor,roof , even the sod is staggered. You don't have to go 50% but you must stagger 33% min . If that had been in a house, the finish floor would be popping up , swelling, peaking etc.. Never build with 't' seams , always only 'T'
@@amomentwithanimals7429 Yes you are yea you're right. that's what i originally planned to do but it was such a pain in the ass moving those things around and getting the tongue and groove to line up i just said F it
Awesome build. You obviously know what you are doing. Good looking building. I don't understand why you did not stagger the flooring plywood joints and lay some kind of vapor barrier either on the ground under the shed or on top of the floor joists before the installation of the subflooring.
because I was being a lazy idiot. I originally planed to do it but as I starting moving the sheets into place, trying to get the tongue and groves to fit together, working alone, was a huge pain. So I said F it and i'd worry about the onslaught of youtube comments later.
The framing is the fun and easy part, the pain in the butt is the finish work like the soffits and trim. There are plans available in the link in the description if you want them to go off of.
For something this big that’s going to store a lot of stuff I would have done some larger concrete footers down past any frost line with sand and aggregate in the bottom. Then treated those with some foundation coatings as well as all the subfloor materials. Hate to see such a nice project shift a bunch down the road or get rot underneath
First I want to say the shed looks great but a couple things to think about. The window headers should be turned wide side up and down, they are stronger that way. Second, the drip edge should have went under the drip edge. Water will get under the shingles and then find its way under the drip edge causing the fascia to rot.
drip edge should have went under the drip edge??? do you mean it should have went under the paper ? I have asked many roofers about this and they all differ
@@johng8049 yes, should have read better before sending. You should start at the bottom and overlap as you go up. Drip edge overlapped by tar paper, so water will run off smoothly.
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 that's not always the case. Read your building code for the state you are in. Here in Florida it is approved both ways under and over. 99% of roofers in FL nail there eave metal after the underlayment is installed.
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 what's preventing wind born rain from getting under the felt paper? If the eave metal is installed first then there's nothing holding it down unless you apply roofing cement then it is fine as wind born water will not be able to enter.
Go for it! I'm sure your second build will be much better. This was the second shed I built and it was way better than my first. You learn a lot of lessons doing big projects like this.
Very nice looking. I wanted to build a tiny cabin and I'm wondering is plastificed tin ok for exterior wall sheating or not? Like tin, then isolation, and then some wood on the inside. I hope for advice.
Good I'm glad. Let me know how it turns out. Plans are available here if you need a good starting point. keimpiece.com/collections/build-plans-digital-files/products/12x24-shed-build-plans
Looking back do you wish you would have poured a concrete slab or is doing it this way with the blocks and gravel holding up well? Any reason you preferred this way? Thank you for your insight!
Thanks for watching and the question. Pouring a concrete slab is the best long term option, it would also likely double your construction cost. This isn't my forever house so I didn't want to do anything that permanent, I also didn't want to spend that much money. The way I did it with the blocks was the easiest and cheapest. Looking back I wish I would have done something a little more robust, perhaps some poured concrete footers. So far after a few years, everything seems to be holding up just fine. I do wish I made it a little higher though, on the south side, the siding is dang near touching the grass, so I'm sure its absorbing moisture and that will increase the rot rate of the wood. But so far everything is holding up.
Great job brotha! Probly one of the best build videos I’ve seen yet. You ought to think about going Solar in the shed. I’ve been looking at Solar option so when I start my shed build here shortly. I hope you get more views on this you done a hell of a job. God bless..
Thanks Joshua! Solar would be sweet but I'll be running a cnc and laser inside with dust collection and fans. I think I would need a lot of solar to run that stuff. Video two will show how I run two circuits through an underground conduit to power everything in there.
I'm sure you'll do fine Matt. No one is a novice with all the educational resources available on youtube. Plans are available on my site if you need them. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll provide what ever assistance I can. Wood prices will be your biggest problem now!
@U Betcha Yea this foundation wasn't the most stable option. I was going for cheap and quick. I'm sure there will be some settling over the years. We will see how bad it is.
thanks for watching, don't forget to check out part two of the video. Check out my other ones as well I bet you'll like the gazebo and treehouse build. I'm about to post one of me building a wood burning brick pizza oven in my back yard
Great build. My only gripe is the tar paper goes over the drip edge, not under it. I, like you, do a lot by myself and was quite pleased to see a tad help when you put up the gable end overhang.
Check your states building code as that's not always the case. Here in Florida it's approved both ways over and under. Most roofers install it over the underlayment here in FL. Because he have lots of rain and wind.
Yes, here is the link to the build plans, they include a list of materials, expect about 6k if you plan to run electrical to it. keimpiece.com/collections/build-plans-digital-files/products/12x24-shed-build-plans
Hey Justin, the originally didn't plan to do double bottom plates but the inspector made me so it would be to code. Yes those were 8 foot sheets for the walls
@@KeimpieceCarpentry hmm.. i doubt the code calls for dbl bottom plates. Typically an inspector will not call for unnecesary additonal support unless hes offering you a simpler fix to compensate for a weakness in an area that you already built out of code to save the builder time and/or $$
@@bigtroll8249 well all I can tell you is I submitted the plans for approval, the inspector said I needed to add a double bottom plate, so I resubmitted the pans with double bottom plate, he approved it, and I built the shed, and the shed passed inspection.
@@KeimpieceCarpentry ah, i see. Maybe he called for dbl bottom plate bc the perimeter is not supported by a continuous foundation. Two of those walls are supporting a roof w/o a foundation wall beneath
Chocy Lab be like "What's daddy doing? Has he got something I can eat? No? Well, I'm off to see if there's any lost food around here......... Ooh, what's he doing now? Eating? No. More hunting for anything remotely edible" [Repeat ad infinitum]. :D
Hey, I'm considering something similar. Do you think 12x24 is large enough footprint for a wood working shop? Would it be limiting? I have a lot of space in my property, but I'm worried that building bigger than 12x24 on my own might be too big of a job.
It all depends what type of projects you do. If its just for a hobby I think 12x24 if fine, it's similar to a 1 car garage. If you intend to make money wood working then you'll def want to go bigger. 2/3 of my shed is for my cnc, laser, and wood storage. The back 1/3 is a gym. I have my 2 car garage as my primary wood shop. There are some creative things you can do though if you decided to do it yourself and stick with a 12x24. For example, you could build a big hard cover overhang on one side that you use for wood storage so it's not taking up floor space inside. Not sure what your climate is like. You could also have a large concrete pad built so as you use your tools you just roll them out from inside the shed to the concrete pad to use them like your table saw, planer, jointer, bandsaw etc.
Awesome work. My only complaint: Would you please take the time to play with your dog next time. 😆 He was killing me. My dogs distract me all the time.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yea a project like this can be very intimidating but it's the best way to learn. This was only the second shed I've built and I'm already itching to do a third because of all the lessons I've learned from this one. I recommend starting off with something smaller, and just following the steps I took in this video. Perhaps a 8x8 shed with a simple slanted metal shed roof. I'm thinking about doing another smaller shed focused on doing it as simple and cost effective as possible. Do you think people would be interested in that?
I definitely think people are interested on building their own shed. Maybe a 8x8 like you said will be easier to follow along and build for people like myself that are beginner's. Yeah if you do decide to build a smaller, more simple to do shed I will definitely take on the task. Thanks
thanks for watching. If you're worried about buying too much wood, I have plans available in the link in the description of the video and they include a list of materials

I wish I would have watched videos like this several years ago. I built a 12x12 building without any planning. It actually turned out great, except for the fact that I put it directly in contact with the ground and now 8-9 years later it's starting to rot at the bottom. Nice video and build.
Thanks Dicky!
Jack it up and put something underneath then
@@neoplasma1 great ideas neo plasma
If you still have the problem you might look into Eurotec adjustable pedestals. I don't know if they are for actually lifting, but you could probably get them under the shed and get it off the ground with a little digging and some jacking.

Great craftsmanship.. Fun to watch
Thanks Jason, glad you enjoyed it. Be on the lookout for my next project. It's going to be a huge custom built timber framed gazebo with pergola over hangs. Sitting on a big paver patio!
Nice build brother I could definitely use you in my business great work and craftsmanship
Thanks for the kind words Rodney!
Great video, brilliant job. Definitely you are the man. Respect!
Thanks for watching and the kind words. Check out my other videos, I bet you'll like them!
WOW. The thought of you pretty much doing alone is super impressive. You make it look easy. I'm having the exact size but a Malibu style built now by "pros" and mine doesn't look half this nice...great job! Thanks for taking the time to video to help people like me out.
Yea doing it alone is definitely rough. Just trying to maneuver a full sheet of 3/4 plywood up a ladder onto a roof is a nightmare. Especially if it's windy out
@@KeimpieceCarpentry I bet is there a way I can get rough measurements so o can build one similar?

Great job and video and loved seeing your beautiful puppies
Thanks!
Another awesome video young man. I think the most impressive thing is you're a one man show. You should be proud that you built it completely by yourself. I would love to have a workshop just like that one. Great job.
Thanks for watching and the kind words Colonel
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thanks!
Great video. I love the editing and how you showed the steps you took in building the shed. I have to rebuild mine and after watching your video, I can't wait to get started.
I'm glad you liked it and hope it makes your project a bit easier
Oh My Goodness! Dude You are awesome!
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to watch part two of the shed build, check out my other videos, you'll probably like them
Fantastic! Definitely confidence inspiring. But it’s also evident you have some experience in construction. Even so, you certainly make it look easy. I’m debating tackling a job like this myself.
go for it! While I certainly have experience building things out of wood, this is only the second shed I've built. Other than that, I don't have any other experience building houses or framing. Just watched some videos on youtube to learn. You can do it! buy the plans and watch the video and you'll be all set
@@KeimpieceCarpentry Thank you for the vote of confidence! I’m surprised this is only the second shed you’ve built. I would’ve guessed your full-time job was in construction. Did you have any issues preparing the ground where you built? My main problem will be ensuring a level surface. Thanks again.
@@Army4Runner No, that gravel pad was there when I bought the house and as you can see I just laid some blocks down and ensured they were level with a laser. I def could have done a better foundation system, I just did the quick easy way. You can use a laser or a water level. If you watch my gazebo build video you'll see how the water level works.
@@KeimpieceCarpentry I’ll take a look at the gazebo video. 👍🏼 I definitely have a slope in our backyard I’ll have to figure out.
@@Army4Runner You can do it!
You should have off set your floor sheeting so the butt joints don't line up. Start your 2nd course with a 4' piece and 3rd course with full sheet. This distributes the load more evenly on the joists.
yea you're right. that's what i originally planned to do but it was such a pain in the ass moving those things around and getting the tongue and groove to line up i just said F it
Oh man I didn't even notice that when I first watched it. That's a big no no . You must stagger everything when you build,it makes it stronger and won't pop up at the seams. You have to do it in block,brick, plywood subfloor and sheathing, drywall, finish floor,roof , even the sod is staggered. You don't have to go 50% but you must stagger 33% min . If that had been in a house, the finish floor would be popping up , swelling, peaking etc.. Never build with 't' seams , always only 'T'
@@amomentwithanimals7429 Yes you are yea you're right. that's what i originally planned to do but it was such a pain in the ass moving those things around and getting the tongue and groove to line up i just said F it
One man band, Kudos
Thanks!
Awesome build. You obviously know what you are doing. Good looking building.
I don't understand why you did not stagger the flooring plywood joints and lay some kind of vapor barrier either on the ground under the shed or on top of the floor joists before the installation of the subflooring.
because I was being a lazy idiot. I originally planed to do it but as I starting moving the sheets into place, trying to get the tongue and groves to fit together, working alone, was a huge pain. So I said F it and i'd worry about the onslaught of youtube comments later.
@@KeimpieceCarpentry 😂
I'm gonna frame garage like this. It's simple and beautiful.
The framing is the fun and easy part, the pain in the butt is the finish work like the soffits and trim. There are plans available in the link in the description if you want them to go off of.
Great job. That’s looking really nice. I’m excited for Part 2. Great work.
Thanks! Working on it.
I wish I could do the same. I like your dog, he is so cute with his curiosity😊
Thanks for watching, don't forget to watch part 2, check out my other videos and let me know what you think
For something this big that’s going to store a lot of stuff I would have done some larger concrete footers down past any frost line with sand and aggregate in the bottom. Then treated those with some foundation coatings as well as all the subfloor materials. Hate to see such a nice project shift a bunch down the road or get rot underneath
yea if I was to do it again I would probably make a more robust foundation.
Exactly what i was thinking about the footings
Such a great job. Really impressive.
Thanks !
Looks great, looking forward to part 2
Thanks! Part two will be electrical, soffit, and trim.
A Class Act!!! You could build for me ANYTIME!!! Kudos Sir!!!
Thanks for the kind words Michael!
First I want to say the shed looks great but a couple things to think about. The window headers should be turned wide side up and down, they are stronger that way. Second, the drip edge should have went under the drip edge. Water will get under the shingles and then find its way under the drip edge causing the fascia to rot.
Thanks for the tips
drip edge should have went under the drip edge??? do you mean it should have went under the paper ? I have asked many roofers about this and they all differ
@@johng8049 yes, should have read better before sending. You should start at the bottom and overlap as you go up. Drip edge overlapped by tar paper, so water will run off smoothly.
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 that's not always the case. Read your building code for the state you are in. Here in Florida it is approved both ways under and over. 99% of roofers in FL nail there eave metal after the underlayment is installed.
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 what's preventing wind born rain from getting under the felt paper? If the eave metal is installed first then there's nothing holding it down unless you apply roofing cement then it is fine as wind born water will not be able to enter.
That is exactly what i want to build do you have any blue prints 1 window,1-35" door ,and 1-7foot barn doors or roll up
thanks for watching, the plans I have available are in the link in the video description. Good luck on your build
Hey excellent work. I built a smaller shed years ago but now want a larger one like yours.
Go for it! I'm sure your second build will be much better. This was the second shed I built and it was way better than my first. You learn a lot of lessons doing big projects like this.
Very nice building, you did a excellent job, good carpenter skills, I learned alot from this video, thanks.
Thanks!
Great work! Looking forward to more build videos
Thanks! I have a work bench assembly table video that will be posted soon! Working on part 2 for the shed as well.
Very nice looking. I wanted to build a tiny cabin and I'm wondering is plastificed tin ok for exterior wall sheating or not? Like tin, then isolation, and then some wood on the inside. I hope for advice.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes you should be fine
Looks good! You are giving me lots of ideas for my shed! Thanks!
Good I'm glad. Let me know how it turns out. Plans are available here if you need a good starting point. keimpiece.com/collections/build-plans-digital-files/products/12x24-shed-build-plans
Looking back do you wish you would have poured a concrete slab or is doing it this way with the blocks and gravel holding up well? Any reason you preferred this way? Thank you for your insight!
Thanks for watching and the question. Pouring a concrete slab is the best long term option, it would also likely double your construction cost. This isn't my forever house so I didn't want to do anything that permanent, I also didn't want to spend that much money. The way I did it with the blocks was the easiest and cheapest. Looking back I wish I would have done something a little more robust, perhaps some poured concrete footers. So far after a few years, everything seems to be holding up just fine. I do wish I made it a little higher though, on the south side, the siding is dang near touching the grass, so I'm sure its absorbing moisture and that will increase the rot rate of the wood. But so far everything is holding up.
Great job brotha! Probly one of the best build videos I’ve seen yet. You ought to think about going Solar in the shed. I’ve been looking at Solar option so when I start my shed build here shortly. I hope you get more views on this you done a hell of a job. God bless..
Thanks Joshua! Solar would be sweet but I'll be running a cnc and laser inside with dust collection and fans. I think I would need a lot of solar to run that stuff. Video two will show how I run two circuits through an underground conduit to power everything in there.
Great build! I was going to make the exact same size shed as a workshop and I might do it soon.
Good luck on the build, there are plans available if you need them
Love the effort that went into filming! I am about to do the same thing but on a concrete pad. Only difference is I am a complete novice haha
I'm sure you'll do fine Matt. No one is a novice with all the educational resources available on youtube. Plans are available on my site if you need them. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll provide what ever assistance I can. Wood prices will be your biggest problem now!
@U Betcha Yea this foundation wasn't the most stable option. I was going for cheap and quick. I'm sure there will be some settling over the years. We will see how bad it is.
Wow ! That Was Awesome !
thanks for watching, don't forget to check out part two of the video. Check out my other ones as well I bet you'll like the gazebo and treehouse build. I'm about to post one of me building a wood burning brick pizza oven in my back yard
Great build. My only gripe is the tar paper goes over the drip edge, not under it. I, like you, do a lot by myself and was quite pleased to see a tad help when you put up the gable end overhang.
Yea those gable ends were a pain. I'm sure there was an easier way to do them. First time
Check your states building code as that's not always the case. Here in Florida it's approved both ways over and under. Most roofers install it over the underlayment here in FL. Because he have lots of rain and wind.
Is there anywhere I could find these exact measurements and I’m wondering how much the cost of this would be
Yes, here is the link to the build plans, they include a list of materials, expect about 6k if you plan to run electrical to it. keimpiece.com/collections/build-plans-digital-files/products/12x24-shed-build-plans
Curious why you did the double bottom "plate"? Were those 8' sheets for the walls? Looks great!
Hey Justin, the originally didn't plan to do double bottom plates but the inspector made me so it would be to code. Yes those were 8 foot sheets for the walls
100% thats what i was thinking
@@KeimpieceCarpentry hmm.. i doubt the code calls for dbl bottom plates. Typically an inspector will not call for unnecesary additonal support unless hes offering you a simpler fix to compensate for a weakness in an area that you already built out of code to save the builder time and/or $$
@@bigtroll8249 well all I can tell you is I submitted the plans for approval, the inspector said I needed to add a double bottom plate, so I resubmitted the pans with double bottom plate, he approved it, and I built the shed, and the shed passed inspection.
@@KeimpieceCarpentry ah, i see. Maybe he called for dbl bottom plate bc the perimeter is not supported by a continuous foundation. Two of those walls are supporting a roof w/o a foundation wall beneath
Amazing job. Congrats

Exactly lol
All by yourself, too?! This is inspiring af.
Thanks for watching! If you think the shed was impressive, go watch my gazebo video, i almost died building that thing alone.
Hey, I'm considering something similar. Do you think 12x24 is large enough footprint for a wood working shop? Would it be limiting? I have a lot of space in my property, but I'm worried that building bigger than 12x24 on my own might be too big of a job.
It all depends what type of projects you do. If its just for a hobby I think 12x24 if fine, it's similar to a 1 car garage. If you intend to make money wood working then you'll def want to go bigger. 2/3 of my shed is for my cnc, laser, and wood storage. The back 1/3 is a gym. I have my 2 car garage as my primary wood shop. There are some creative things you can do though if you decided to do it yourself and stick with a 12x24. For example, you could build a big hard cover overhang on one side that you use for wood storage so it's not taking up floor space inside. Not sure what your climate is like. You could also have a large concrete pad built so as you use your tools you just roll them out from inside the shed to the concrete pad to use them like your table saw, planer, jointer, bandsaw etc.
Great video..professionally all the way..

Very nice work. I like the way you applied the siding on the gable end and then put the ladder eave on top of that. Much cleaner look.

Awesome work. My only complaint: Would you please take the time to play with your dog next time. 😆
He was killing me. My dogs distract me all the time.
Oh don't you worry, she got plenty of play time in between film shots. Every scrap piece of wood got thrown across the yard for her to turn to mulch.
Yeah this is definitely not for beginners like myself. Great work.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yea a project like this can be very intimidating but it's the best way to learn. This was only the second shed I've built and I'm already itching to do a third because of all the lessons I've learned from this one. I recommend starting off with something smaller, and just following the steps I took in this video. Perhaps a 8x8 shed with a simple slanted metal shed roof. I'm thinking about doing another smaller shed focused on doing it as simple and cost effective as possible. Do you think people would be interested in that?
I definitely think people are interested on building their own shed. Maybe a 8x8 like you said will be easier to follow along and build for people like myself that are beginner's. Yeah if you do decide to build a smaller, more simple to do shed I will definitely take on the task. Thanks
thanks for the feedback
