Attached Shed w/Slab Concrete Foundation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2020
- I enlisted the help of my dad to build a shed and we were able to build this addition in about two weekends. This shed will provide a hidden area to house my large dust collector and 60 gal air compressor. This won't just free up space, but will keep the noise in my shop down dramatically. I've included a link to everything I used below, let me know if I missed anything! And if you're interested I would say the whole project cost around $1200.

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.
Dad is 95 and just helped make fire wood last weekend. Gave up running the chain saw this year. Wise enough to know if he couldn't start it shouldn't run it. He's happy to take a seat and operate the splitter lever! It was a great day indeed.
Nice story
Chief! He passed away 10 years ago last week, and I miss him like hell. Just discovered your channel by accident, and even though I could never build the things you build, I live vicariously through you. I like you narration style, and I find even with your longer videos, I never switch off.
Dad. I suspect your dad is happy to pay someone to work on his house while he works on your shed for free because...it means spending time with his son, which is priceless.
Oh, maybe 😊
All I can say is... I'm very jealous! Great video!
yes thats true i wished i had spent more time with my dad before he passed away as i way only in my early teens when he passed away
@@thediscoman2001 I’m sorry 😢
Dad, Why didn’t you make it bigger!??.
Dad, anytime you can work with your dad and learn from him is priceless.
For sure!
your are so lucky, my dad past away 2 years ago im 26 and taking is woodworking company over ! i would kill to work with him again.. enjoy it, its the most valuable thing in the world
I feel you man, lost my dad when I was 21 (That's 16 years ago. Time flies). All the best with taking over his woodworking company!
When we were home, it was "Dad". When we were on duty on the base, it was "Yes, Sir, Colonel". You're doing just fine... keep on doing what you're doing. I love all of it! I wish I had a place to do what you're doing. I don't have your talent, but it sure looks like fun and I'd like to try.
RIP, Dad... you were the best father, and finest squadron commander I ever could have wished for.
Dad's are the best. My dad grew up on a farm so if something broke they couldn't wait for the nearest fixer, who was 15 miles away, to solve the problem. He taught me woodworking, plumbing, electrical work, basic automotive maintenance, camping knowledge and a slew of other skills. Here's to all the dads who pass on their knowledge and legacy to their sons. 🍺
Dad.. I love how you can confidently say that you aren’t good at something and keep a positive attitude when something doesn’t go as planned. Love the videos!!
Thanks David!
Dad. Gotta love your dad. Dads will do things for or with you that no one else on earth would consider.
I’d love my dad to do that
Thanks man!
@@BlacktailStudio um... That would be mam. Peace and Love and beautiful wood.
Dad(s) are the best. My (retired) folks came to help out after our daughter was born (25 years ago) and while mom was enjoying the grandma thing, dad was getting bored while I was at work. I though I'd give him a project to pass the time for a few weeks, asking him to build a shed nearly exactly like yours. The next day, he had the ground leveled and the forms up. He mixed the slab from bags in a bucket one at a time. Matched the roof slope, re-used the aluminum siding from the house and very closely matched it for the ends with LP. About a week later, I had to find something else for him to do. I miss dad, but remember some of his best advice about projects. "It might cost a little more to do it right the first time, but it costs twice as much to do it over."
I wish my dad was still around. He could build anything. Enjoy those days.
Pops.... I love shop updates. I like the color choice. A nice bright white would look good on the trim as well.
Wouldn’t match this shop, but maybe when we paint it all!
And
Having your Dad around for such a project, is the biggest asset you can have. Well done!
Daddy, I have called him Daddy for the last 68 years and have no problem with it. He is now 97. We enjoyed the video, have done a shed very similar. Look forward to more. Keep up the good work.
Poppy. I have fallen back in love with the content (even if it’s months old) The way you form your videos, explain what’s happening, and admit when you don’t know just makes the videos feel real. I don’t need to understand every single thing you’re doing, but the way you’re not scared to say “hey I don’t know exactly what to do” just gives it that personal touch.
Dad. This was a blast. My dad died over 35 years ago and I wish I'd pay more attention in my youth to the things he shared. Give your dad lots of love & listen & learn & enjoy.
Sorry to hear that. Thanks though!
Dads alway know best!!. Nice content building my own shed in next couple of days
My dad died when I was young. Thankfully, I still have memories of things we did together. Wish I was older though because I didn't get a lot of the advice I could have from him, as well as to cherish moments like this.
We called our father, Duge. He was very accomplished as a "handyman". He built the entire attached garage on my parent's 1st house! I always loved doing projects withy Dad. Was fortunate to work with him in our rep business for close to 25 years. Miss him every day.
Dad. My dad went missing about 5 years ago. I miss working with him. He taught me a lot. Cherish the moments while they're there.
Papa. From my experience, building with your father is a mix of fun and arguing, but the result always pays off. I'm looking to expand the shop this summer, so regarding videos - keep em' coming, I'm taking notes)
One of my happy memories is being my Dad's gofer as a little lad, receiving long lumber as he ran it through his circular table saw, passing hand tools, nails etc Not only good bonding with him, but planted the seed in my mind for future carpentry projects. Later we went to the local college together to attend "Recreational Woodwork" classes too, where I learned wood lathe-turning, making dovetail joints etc, and I still have quite a few items in my home from those days. When I had my first home, Dad rallied round when I converted a cellar to an under-house garage, and we both put on rubber boots and spread 5 cubic yards of concrete for its floor from a delivery truck.
Dad. I really love your videos. My dad was a great guy and a great dad, but he didn't know one end of a hammer from the other. As a kid I became the "handyman" in our house. Just miner repairs and painting, but I did it. I got married young, with little money with the help and instructions from my father-in-law was able to build a set of cabinets in our first apartment. I'm 79 and living in our 17th house. All of those houses required some kind of renovations. I learned most things by reading Sunset Books in the 70s and from many different friends with a myriad of skills. Plumbing, carpentry, electrical, ductwork drywall, painting, etc. We finally moved near my youngest son and we have done several projects together, including remolding his kitchen two building a couple of garden benches for each other. I think this has been most fun I've had these last five years. It does build a strong bond between father and son. I'm sure your dad feels the same way.
Dad. My father passed a few years back. My father in law is the one that got me started with DIY(along with myself being cheap AF). He is a general contractor, and has tools, some other tools, some old tools, work van full of tools, then some bins of tools, shed with tools, garage with tools, basement with tools.... so yeah he is my goto for most things. helped me learn about working on cars, doing drywall, carpentry, plumbing, electric... youtube is great for learning, but having someone with the knowledge there with you to point out what you are doing right/wrong, and better ways of doing things... cant compare. Although i have learned things from youtube that i have since passed to him... so works out in the end :)
Im from Norway so i say: Far
More of these shop update videos👍 love to see the process! Show us everything:)
Ya man
Love this. Especially good to see you working with your dad.
👍💯
Thanks Kevin!
Согласен. Не всем так везёт. Берегите родителей..........😢
Yo Geno, my dad passed nine years ago. he was a lifetime framer/contractor. I love watching your videos in general but this one really got to me . My dad was a gruff tuff guy from Philly ;who raised me in NC . I left school at 11 and helped him with everything (his reputation as a carpenter lead me to building furniture at 16 years old in a professional shop ). after i moved across the state every-time i'd go home to visit he would have me build him a new deck or replace the roof etc . I would wine and moan to myself that i was on vacation and did this work for a living and didn't want to work while on the beach . Well , since he passed i would do anything to build with him again ! Watching you two work together literally brought tears to my eyes ! thank you so much ! not just for this one but all your videos.
You are an endless source of inspiration ; your humility ,work ethic , and you listening to your viewers is very impressive! Thank You!!
Dad - I'm a year late to these videos, but I love the shop build! I live in 650 sq/ft in Brooklyn, so not only do I have zero space, but I can't have a shop at all - so I'm living vicariously through you, Cam!
Thanks for your honest feedback and narration, I haven't really seen a UA-camr in all these years tell it like it is, the reality of life coupled with making a living off UA-cam, etc. It really sets you apart and please don't get an annoying intro or get all tattooed up like every other cool kid on UA-cam. Stay real.
I learned alot from my father, especially work ethic. I have passed that on to my 2 sons, they helped me build our current house.
Pop. Great looking shed or addition. My dad was the best! He worked for GM for 40 years and built houses in his spare time. No crew, just him and a buddy or two. And he built a bunch in the 50's, 60's and 70's including the house I grew up in and our cottage, which he paid for doing car body and paint work on the side. He had a sign in his shop that read" I can fix anything from a flat tire to a broken heart". I learned building, renovating, car repair and so much more having him as my Pop.
Dad…This video reminds me of working with my Dad, who was an awesome carpenter etc. He passed away back in March, and I really miss him. This video made me smile. Thanks.
Oh boy. An Atomos Ninja V is waaaaay overkill. Impressive that you've shot everything on an iPhone so far. I can point you in the right direction for the best camera gear and workflow for UA-cam shooting.
Overkill is right in my wheelhouse.
This is not a crossover I was expecting!
Wow! didnt know you were into maker content!
:o
Vader, dutch for father, passed away 3 years ago. He always helped me out, how i apriciate it i learned so much from him
Pop. My father passed in 2016 but he made it to 92 so I had him for a long time. Watching and listening to your video, brought back memories of all the projects I did with my Pop, including, laying a slab for a dog kennel. My dad could do just about anything, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry. I remember one time he needed a tool that he didn't have (a lathe), instead of buying one, he built one. You guys did a great job on the shed. Can't wait to see more of your videos and more of your work. Hi to your dad.
Dad. Lost him in spring of 2011. He taught me how to work. Keep it up.
Dang, sorry Glen
My father was a General Contractor. Some of the best quality time with a father is projects just like this!!
Dad. I love how transparent you are about everything also great job the shed looks great!
Thanks Jake!
Dad. That was so cool watching you and your dad working on your shed! Really neat, made me want to work on something with my dad! Keep being awesome and doing phenomenal work! I really enjoyed your shop update
Dad is the classic way to go. As for your step, even if it looks rustic, call it the gateway between the inside and the outside.
Daddio passed a few months ago. Handyman extraordinaire! He taught his girls how to do all the stuff he taught his boys! Miss him.
Awesome project and it’s great to see your dad helping. Perhaps already addressed this but I recently used the same insulation and one of the warnings is about flammability. It may not matter much even if you have the walls covered with gypsum boards in case of a spark but drywall and a fire alarm will greatest increase protection to the rest of the shop.
I’m loving what I’m seeing. Take us with you. We’ll enjoy it. I’m glad I got to see this addition be added. It was great to watch and grab ideas!
POPs!
NEVER stop making shop update and build videos besides the actual wood working. ALL facets of building a new shop and its features are an integral part of being a woodworker. !
Thanks bud!
DAd's are always the best. Best part of this project was surelly just spending time with Dad.
Dad. You guys did good on the concrete. I’ve seen “professionals” not take all the steps you did. Hope you lifted the wire mesh so it sits in the middle of the concrete. Otherwise it’s useless. Fiber mesh is a good alternative. You should see a blow out on a 100 yard wall. Now that’s exciting! (Unless it’s your wall). Awesome video as always.
Really enjoyed this video. Love the behind the scenes stuff. Also your dad looks like a real legend 💪
Can’t let his ego get away from him 😊
Your pops is a very smart man. I think you have learned NOT to doubt anything he has to share.
I love your video my husband passed away my children are 18 years old and we carry out our projects that's why I found your channel I congratulate you my children tell me mom how happy it would be to do this with my dad. If all children need a father, I commend you for the experience and the sometimes rare advice from parents is invaluable. and feel useful and happy to share their wisdom
I appreciate your honesty, many would have acted like they know what they’re doing, when they don’t. Dads are the best!
Thanks Josh!
Darth, another great video!
Cheater... but good answer
@@BlacktailStudio There’s always That Guy. I came back and watched to the end after work.
DAD ......LOVE THE SHOP UPDATES ! Gotta love Dads ! I was fortunate to have one of the best as well. He taught me lots of good info I use all the time now and now I am teaching my sons. Greatest reward ever
Love that brian
Dad's are the best they sure dont make them like they used to. Dad's favorite thing to say is "I don't really know what I am doing" then proceed to build an entire home from the ground up. Really enjoy these videos I like learning "basics" of anything. Its always great to see someone truly a master at their craft but its also good to see people stumbling through a project just like I would. Mistakes are part of the learning process. Really enjoy the shop videos.
Thanks so much Garrett.
Papa- I tell ya, I don’t see a need to get all fancy with the filming/editing. I like your style! Keep it up!
Will do Brian!
That’s true. I haven’t noticed any lack in video quality on your channel.
Agreed! Had he not have said “iPhone” I would have never thought it wasn’t a camera!
7:46 no disrespect for ur dads years of experience, but he shouldn’t put his hands that close when someone nailing! Big no no because the nail might go sideways and get his hands/fingers injured!
It's pretty common brotha
Nailing your hand builds character. Besides, if you look closely his hand is ~3.5 inches away from the nail. 1.5 for the thickness of the plate, and what looks to be 2" down the stud.
Dad Brown was one of the best if not the best concrete contrators in the Western States. You di a good job on everything. Thanks for sharing!
Dad! Make me tear up a bit thinking back of all the projects my Dad and I worked together on! I miss him!!!
Dad taught me a lesson... Concrete blowout.... Summer 1990. My summer 1990: when dad got the foundation of our workshop filled with concrete everything went fine until we got a thunderstorm and we couldn't fix the mishap straight away as nearly the whole front of the workshop foundation frame broke during that storm. The blow out went across 3 meters. I spent a whole week with hammer and chisel to get it straight.
I really like the shop update videos. You are honest and one fine woodworker, what is there not to like? Keep it up please.
For videos: check out pask makes. I think his videos are the best in woodworking video world. I don't know if it is the light or the camera position, but they are a joy to watch. Same as with Tom Johnson restaurations. Don't get me wrong, your videos are already really good and I am just saying as you asked for it.
no maybe about it. i'm a father and grandfather and working with my kids and grandkids is priceless. my son is a techie and a good one, i was a tradesman before i retired and i help him with construction stuff and he helps me be able to look at your videos. spending time with him, even if it's work, makes my day. i'm sure your dad feels the same way. enjoy every minute because my dad is gone and i would like to have had more time with him. when you're busy you don't think about it but when he gone you think about him all the time.
Thanks Denis!
Dad, he taught me as a young man what it was like to work hard, the feeling of pride and accomplishment you get when your job is done and it looks great, cherish these times with your dad, I wish I still had some with mine
Dad, what a great build. That’s what Dad’s are for, helping their sons out when they are not sure what they are doing. Keep them coming👍👍
Dad. how fortunate you were to be able to do this project with your Dad and to have that time with him. I lost my father when I was 31 and he was 61. I felt very cheated that he was taken away from me at such a young age. He was a totally self taught man with many talents from auto repair, to carpentry to whatever. He never got to see me become the first member of our family to graduated college and have a rather successful career. Most disappointing he never got to see his one and only Granddaughter. Enjoy every moment with him. Great video by the way,
Dad. I don't know who taught him, but he did a lot of carpentry as I was growing up. He didn't have a lot of power tools. He did have something I think was called a ShopSmith(?). He also had a circular saw. He built a workbench along one side of our garage and big storage cabinets on the other side. He was always doing something in the garage.
About your videos... I enjoy listening to you as I watch. I can't do anything myself, but I am learning a lot. Hello from Salem!
Dad and Pop. The funny thing is I've been a contractor for over 30 years and it's always me helping my Dad. We always enjoy our time together and I'm sure you do as well. I'm glad you are happy with the outcome. Stick to your mad skill in woodwork and you'll be fine. Lol. Great job brother! 👍
My stepdad is gone. But I appreciate your respect for your dad, because I really like it when my adult children still need me. I am still relevant for something. Thank you for respecting your dad.
For sure
Cam, love all your videos and you DO NOT talk too much. I enjoy hearing your calm voice and listening to you explaining what you are doing. Wishing you the very best.
As a Dad myself the best gift you could ever give to me personally is ask for my help. Asking your dad to help on something of this level is a great way of expressing your love for him. Now you can look at this and have the best memories.. nice build.
I’ll let him know that’s his Xmas gift!
@@BlacktailStudio well thats not exactly what I was leaning into but sure he will be appreciative of that.
Dad.
My dad passed when I was 14. I’m 21 now. He loved working with wood n leather.
I got into wood working. Recently just did an 8 foot resin island for my mom with my dads favorite beer caps in the clear resin filling the voids. Nice little tribute. Awesome vids!
So cool you’re honoring him that way
Pop! I so miss working with him; he taught me about more than just the task at hand. Treasure your time with your father, boys...it ends way before you are ready for it to. He has been gone 23 years now and the world has been a Hell of a lot less fun!
You dad is a smart man. He was spot on with all the tips you said. Impressive for a guy who doesnt do it for a living.
Your Patrimonial Majesty - Yes, more shop and tools videos! We like you for who you are, not only for what you do :)
Dad, My dad tough me a lot of my wood working skills I still use today I think I was running the bandsaw at about 5 and on the tablesaw by 10. we built every thing together from cabinets to houses. best part is I have his tools in my shop, they don't get used as I have all CNC machines now. But looking them brings back a lot of memories. I just wish my dad could see my shop and machines and what i can do now, Thanks to him.
Gotta love Dads who take over a project because of their experience and we all know he wanted one on one time with his son. My grandfather was that way and miss his input. And more shop builds! Sheds, shop cabinets, storage, whatever I’ll watch. Enjoy learning, most of its relatable or applies to what I need to be doing lol so appreciate the content
I wished I would have had a dad like that in my life.
my Dad wasn't good with words or feelings, but he would knock himself out to help me with anything that needed to be built or repaired,,,, and I miss him constantly
Dad, my Dad was my best friend and the best teacher that I’ve ever had. I miss him.
Sorry for you
Dad, Old man, honestly, I missed the cchance to do these things with him as i was career military and he passed away 6mon after i retired. I thought we'd go fishing and do projects together when I got home. So enjoy all the time that you have with your father.
Dad. He died when I was in my 30’s and always thought later in life Pop was better. Love the co tent.
Greetings. Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your video’s and your humbleness. You do awesome work. A story about my “Pop.” My dad was an electrician. A friend that my brother and I have known since middle-school had a brain aneurysm. He was in the process of leaving a contentious breakup from a family business, to go it on his own. His aneurysm happened 2 weeks into building out his new shop. My Neanderthal brother is an operating engineer & plumber, our dad, and I built his shop with more friends. The weeks we put in setting up his shop were memories I will treasure the rest of my days. The laughing, and taunting, back to laughing. We had other of our friends help; I never realized how much our dad taught us as kids, because of how much they DIDN’T know.
My dad is gone now, but those memories are some of the biggest treasures I have.
Treasure those times!
Used to call my dad pops, poppi, popsicle , and sometimes after diabetes took 2 toes, chief 8 toes. Lol love and miss my dad. Don’t let things left unsaid while he’s alive, it ends all to soon.
Thanks for that Joe
Pops. Dads are one of the most valuable information and know how resources, always seem to have a simple solution to seemingly complicated issues.
Dad... shop updates are good in my book, helps give different ideas or different resources someone wouldn't think of. Me and my Dad built his and mom's 5000sq ft log home when I was in high-school, didn't care for it at the time, but respected it.
That’s awesome
Honestly, I've just been binge watching all your videos. It doesn't what they are.
Dad. I had my Dad come help me when I replaced some rotten 2x6s on my desk -- nothing exciting, but my Mum said he really enjoyed it. it's pretty cool when Father and Son work together on something concrete (heh) like that. And when I saw the J bolts going in, I thought, Oh, I know what he's gonna do with those .. sure enough, there he is, taking a cut piece of 2x4 and using the hammer to leave marks on the board where the bolts need to go through. Good job on matching the outside panelling -- that really makes it look like a natural addition.
Pappa (Swedish). Bought a fixer upper-house 3 years ago with 0 background or past experience with concrete, carpenting or any other skillset typically related to renovations. Internet, a huge drive and a very experience-generous father really helped me and the family out.
Dad.. Your father is awesome!! Ur lucky to have him.
Your dad sounds like an awesome man. I should know, my dad's an awesome man.
My dad was Dad. My kids call me all kinds of things and my grand (and greatgrand) children all call me Grampy.
Both my wife and I enjoy all your videos. This one hit home, though. We've rebuilt three houses: and built all the decks, sheds, flooring, additions, and cabinets in our current house. This project is something we do all the time. There is one thing I think you will have wished you had done, roughed up or dimpled the step. Smooth concrete is slippery when wet. Today, I would be your dad.
I often just put your video on and don’t even watch it. Just listen to you talk. It’s very soothing 😂
Uncle Dave. Never knew my dad but my Uncle was there for me growing up. Thanks for the video, it was great seeing you working with your dad.
I called my dad Boul. He passed in December 2020 unfortunately. Thanks for reigniting my passion for woodworking Blacktail
Dad I love watching these videos for real I'm in my 40s and I've never been able to do anything like this but reminds me of growing up in the 80s going to side jobs with my dad or watching him do projects at home while he let me sweep 😆 the one thing he did teach me was dry wall finishing cos that was his trade for 30 + yrs Thx Cam love the videos n the reminiscing 💯👍💙🙏
Dad! You can never learn enough from Dad! Absorb it all my friend. Shop updates are great keep em coming, love to watch transition.
Thanks John!
Dad would have enjoyed working with you!!! It is pretty obvious that your Dad enjoys the opportunity to spend time working with you, so, good job!!!
Ed (his first name). I watch for the woodworking much more than for the epoxy stuff, and any construction content is icing on the cake.
Dad. I love shop videos and this one was special since your Dad was a special guest of yours and you put him in the limelight. Many of my favorite memories of my Dad were around building projects and those ranged from building a huge porch to building an AR15 together. Great times.
Dad, really brought back some very fond memories of past projects that were collaborations with Dad and brothers, very professional product and hopefully sharing this will help others to get out of their comforts zones and tackle projects they have been fearful of tackling. 👍
Thanks Brad!
Dad! it came out great and it gives you and your dad a bonding experience. Great job.
dad, my dad was a brickie, it was a nightmare working on site with him if I ever had to go, but the memories of just doing odd jobs here and there or the travelling in the car are the best
"Old Man River" Since about age 6 when I was travelling with him to Alberta and we crossed an actual creek called "Old Man River" and I found it hilarious I guess. I watch your fine wood working videos mainly, but when I searched on google building a shed directly on a concrete slab I was more than thrilled that your channel came up. I've been watching tons of videos and yours suites my project the best. Thanks!!
Grandad. My father died when I was young, and although my mother remarried, my grandfather was a retired carpenter and builder, he taught me how to cut joints and mix cement. I wish I'd spent more time at my grandparents house as a teenager, but I was busy doing things I shouldn't.
When I was 18, and my grandad was in his 80s, we built my mums garden wall together. I mixed the cement and he laid the bricks.
