    Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.

    My friend just a little tip to help you next time. When you mark your Centers, come back 3/4” off of 16” for your first Center and then measure normal 16s off of that. This will make your first sheet land 100% on the end hoist and halfway on the joist where the joint will be

      @@afroditigrigoriadou2237 He did it right. He measured off the edge to start, so the line will be the edge of every board, not center. Your idea would have been fine if he started the first measurement on center. Going off the edge and using the line as your board edge marker is much easier. (Though his last measurement on the board should have added the last board width. (1.5") before the cut and I did not see that on the video.

      @davekimbler8621 3 роки тому +6

      Exactly right. The way its laid out in the video, the first sheet of plywood would miss the floor joist entirely. 16" from the end should be the centerline of the first joist not the edge.

    I built a shed floor like that. The rats loved living under it. The moisture from the ground wicked up and the shed was humid inside. So the damp cardboard boxes inside attracted termites. Please put a plastic sheet on the ground before framing. Add 1/4” metal screen around the perimeter to keep mice and rodents out. Treat the area for termites if you have them in your area. Now,
    get back to building!

    @2010pinmaster 4 роки тому +22

    You should always start your floor joice at 15" 1/4. That way the edge of your sheeting will land exactly on center of a floor joice. Every 16" on a measuring tape is usually marked in red so all you have to do backup 3/4 inch for your mark if you hook your measuring tape on the end of your piece. Some people prefer making the first one at 15" 1/4 then put a nail on your mark and hook your measuring tape on that nail then mark every 16".

  • @kimepp2216
    @kimepp2216 5 років тому +9

    Your tape should have a diamond every 16 inches for ease of marking 16 inch centers.
    Mark both long boards at the same time. Place them side by side on the foundation blocks.
    Except for end joists the joists are installed on the center of your mark so the plywood edges are supported. No cutting of plywood required.
    You could have skipped installing hangars on the center joists supported by the blocks.

    I built for a mini barn company in Colorado. I advise to build a quality shed vs a budget shed. You will be much happier with it because it will last much longer and the quality will hold up way longer.. also getting a building from a company that does them is the absolute best way because it will be done correctly and quickly.. spending a little more will be worth it in the long run. Also use pressure treated joists and for your flooring as it lasts much longer is made for weather and withstands it well. A level area of ground and 3 4x4 runners under the floor base works way better than 4 cinder blocks as the center of your building will bow after some time because of no support.. I understand a budget building but I recommend it done professionally. You wouldn’t live in a house made from scraps so it’s also best to store your equipment in a safe reliable building as well.. also a well built building will help to provide better security and give you better peace of mind.

    Your base is not on 16" centers, but on 16-3/4" centers. To get 16" centers measure from end of board to 16" then go back 3/4" and mark at 15-1/4". THEN the centerline will be at 16".

    I love watching your German shepherds run around the yard as you work. When I put up my first shed I had five of them at that time and all of them decided let's play where I was putting the frame. Once I put the deck down all of them would lay down on it as I was trying to work on the walls. Also when I seen your candles I knew right away what that was about. Every evening I had to do the exact same thing. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos. I'm trying to get ideas on my next shed when I came across your videos.

    Few comments,
    1- always square off ur lumber it is almost never square from factory.
    2- 28 oz hammer is better for framing.
    3- Put down a moisture barrier on the ground is you are only leaving a 6 in gap, too much moisture not enough air circulation.
    4-Use appropiate Fasteners marked for exterior and on the treated lumber specially use galvanized nails. also use Joist hanger nails not roofing nails for the joist hangers.
    5-plywood lenght goes perpendicular to joists and stagger your joints.
    LIKE YOU SAID DONT SACRIFICE THE QUALITY.

    hey great video Don't let all the negative comments and judgmental comments get you down the point is what you did works therefore it doesn't matter what anybody else says. however be that as it may I would like to give you a little bit of advice in the future if you ever do another one. and this is not advice that contradicts or says anything you did was wrong it's just something you might want to think about doing to make your life a little bit easier in the future. I noticed when you pulled your layout (and no this has nothing to do with burning 3/4 of an inch off all of your joist when your pulling layout) this just makes it a little easier when you're doing your layout altogether. my recommendation is put your top plate and bottom plate together when you pull your layout and lay your speed square on top and scribe them at the same time therefore you get them both done at the same time. that's all my two cents God bless you have a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy your new shed.

    joist layout as others have said, incorrect.
    you shud mark 3/4 of inch back,giving you 15 1/4 outside of joist thus giving you 16 O/C.
    that way your ply lays on middle of joist.
    you cud google how to lay out floors and walls?

    Before you put the Flooring on (Plywood), did you do anything else with the joist? like connected them somehow in the other direction? I thought in your drawing you had some type of support going the other direction as well

    Great video! Good information and I can tell you've worked in carpentry, or at least spent a lot of time in DIY. You keep using the word "gauge" in reference to nail size, however, when you mean "penny". A 16 penny (16d) framing nail is much larger than 16 gauge trim nail.

      It was framed wrong and showing the decking going down wouldve shown that. I am sure it was a cluster. First mark is 15 1/2 to get 16 oc. He started at 16. Common mistake.

    you can still jack the building up a little higher. My reason for being higher is air flow. I understand the treated lumber but it still needs some air flow. JS

So 2 stars 4 the cast. 1 star 4 the two dogs,(since neither one spoke the " FIB", decided that the two could share 1. The last goes to the engineer, you know the guys that clean up dog poll.

If not then someone explain in detail how to do it instead of just saying he did it wrong...Also we don't want no damn woodprix crap. Thats why we are here... Great video thanks !!!
