FYI. 32” doors need a 34” rough opening. That gives you enough space for the door jamb and shims (to help ensure it’s plumb). A 32” opening, in turn, is good for a 30” door. Cheers.
You mentioned that this type of episode is “not the most popular”, but I love it - it’s great to follow your progress. Especially enjoy it when you talk to the boards as you put them in place - that is so “me”. Keep it up - you are doing great and I am living vicariously through you! Cheers!
I think what keeps me watching your channel is that you are not afraid to show your missteps and in fact are not afraid them. Showing your oops also gives you an opportunity to show your successes! Good job at expressing your human side.
Couldn’t agree more. Instead of commenting the similar, I’ll just like your comment 👍 So many channels are edited to show no mistakes like they are perfect at everything. Jay keeps it real and the fact he’s learning and teaching himself and asking his viewers for advice practically every episode. So great. I can only imagine how much easier it makes all of this for him by not trying to hide anything. It’s really like being there with Jay I find.
Thank you Jay for a great channel with an ordinary guy who is willing to make mistakes and correct them. You make great videos and make us feel like we are standing beside you.😀🇨🇦👍
Thank you for the video. I am a 64-year-old senior amputee and I love watching you build your shed improving your property. I look forward to it. Keep up the good work you’re doing great. I love your honesty.😊
Jay, I think these projects really add something to the channel. Watching all the changes makes me feel a bit more invested in your place, and interested in what is coming next. It's like a book when you can't wait for the next chapter.
Jay, before you start filling the shed you might want to consider shelving. If you shelve out the back wall, it will be a massive space saver 👍🏻👍🏻 And let’s be honest, you know at some point you’re going to empty the shed to install shelves.
New smaller nail bag looks much better Jay. Go the Estwing hammer as someone else mentioned. I have two of them, great hammers. The ones with the leather grip. I bought them as that is the hammer my Dad used, and still has, he was a house builder, now well into his eighties. Who knows how many nails that hammer has put in. Ah, you and your clamps 😅, yes they are great. Shed is looking great.
Jay, the pitch of the shed roof is too shallow for shingles. Water or snow melt will work their way under the shingles. Metal or plastic sheets would be more appropriate. Plus it will allow snow to slide off far easier than shingles.
A hammer is only as good as the person swinging it no matter how much it costs. Period! I made a living (40+ yrs.) using a hammer every day. The weight of a hammer is the most important part. Framing hammer= 24oz., trim (claw) hammer=16oz. is the general accepted rule. My grandfather told me that hard work builds character. That was in 1963 (I was 10yrs. old) when I helped him build his house. Keep trying and never accept defeat. You're a winner in my opinion.
I did construction work my whole life but I didn’t start out knowing very much at all.And I still don’t know everything, but you are teaching others that you can do things learning hands on.👍👍
the woodshed build taking shape, 'oh boy see how it is bowed,' no matter Jay its a woodshed' you are doing good, you have a great attitude and laugh at yourself when things have to be changed, is refreshing. Work safely and stay safe cheers.
Love the idea of clamps . I used clamps to attach foldable solar panels outside my window. Great for strength without damaging window sill and temporary so can put them back on my van.
Hey Jay. Big fan of your channel here in the Maritimes. I think some overlook your stellar production values and camera shots (including drone shots). I like watching you do things from a practical standpoint. How you figure out solutions to problems. Certain things I'd do differently, but you're always 'Gettin at er' and doing stuff. If you're ever at a loss for content, I'd like you to explain or show how you get your firewood for the winter - how you store your wood and split your logs. Keep up the great channel and bring the dog with you sometimes.
Jay, I grew up in construction and worked in that industry as a helper and then framer and trim specialist. I owned 2 hammers a16oz. Plumb and a 13 oz> plumb. Still have them at 72 years old and still use those. I think I paid less that $5m for each bank in the 60's. Mny handles in both since bought!
Hi Jay, how are you doing. Some days I wish I could send pictures throw this way. But if you are going to be solar at or cabin. I have a solar fridge at my camp. The name on the fridge is Solstice that is the company. So I thought I would share that idea with you. It would save on propane. Anyway hope you have a wonderful week and stay safe and sound and take care 🙂
the woodshed build taking shape, 'oh boy see how it is bowed,' no matter Jay its a woodshed' you are doing good, you have a great attitude and laugh at yourself when things have to be changed, is refreshing. Work safely and stay safe cheers.
I suggest using the clear corrugated polycarbonate panels for the roof. Your shed has no windows and it will be a dark box. You're going to have a hard time finding anything in there. These panels are great for outhouses too.
Thanks for another good video Jay. You seem to be enjoying yourself ,mistakes,re doing. Good for you! Your good spirits are good for all of us. Thanks again.
Jay your abilities and your knowledge are growing with each video. Well done on the new shed. I do hope you have a pretty robust first aid kit. 6-8 rolls of Kerlex gauze and at least 6-8 tourniquets in it. With as much power tool use you are doing now and accidents can occur plus your distance from the nearest hospital is a recipe for disaster if not prepared god forbid. The new video format is awesome, keep killing it.
I often have to remind my dad when we're working that we aren't building a cathedral. If it keeps the weather and the critters out, it was built right.
You're coming along just fine with the storage shed. After finishing it, maybe apply a wood sealant and water proofing to it to protect it from the elements. There's nothing like eating a hearty homemade soup. Be safe and careful my friend, until next time.
Jay, in reference to hammers... My dad and I are general contractors. We've used Estwing hammers for years. I carry a 16 oz, a 20 oz and a 22 oz Waffle head hammer in my tool box. Never needed anything fancier. Keep doing what you're doing. Best way to learn is by doing it.
Keep up the great content, I really enjoy watching the videos no matter if you are camping or building your shed great seeing someone learning and growing
Thank you for the videos you put out, you do not care if its about your current everyday family life since you took the big step. My family will continue to appreciate the content that you give us, Much love the Ginn Family from ohio!!!
Hey Jay, you might want to use metal roofing on your shed instead of shingles. The shingles won't shed the snow as easily as the metal roofing, which means your shed will be holding all of the snow load,and that could get really heavy depending on the amount of snow you get. Great video by the way.
Awesome job Jay!! Living the dream. Love the drone shots. Looks so peaceful. Love to be there giving you a hand. Take care and look forward to the next video. God Bless!!
Mr. Jay... I'll say one thing, your shed is unique! You're skills are improving and you'll be pro diy'r in no time! Love the content, keep up the good work!
You are essentially me.... 3 steps forward, 2-4 steps back when you think your done! but it looks good! Those hurricane clips/rafter to top plate connectors looked to be Simpson H1's since they are diamond shaped and then those other clips looked like H2.5a's. Glad you used those clips and the screws! I know since I can not swing a hammer like I use to, I have invested in a paslode framer. maybe something to think about in the future builds if you have the cash flow to splurge on one. or even a framing pneumatic nailer helps speed it up a ton if your compress can handle it. Or a dewalt 20v nailer but in the winter, I would imagine you would be better off with the pneumatic nailer over the paslode and 20v due to temps. Man I enjoy watching this on Mondays or Tuesdays while I do my lumber estimates!!!! Good luck and hope yall have a great date night!!
Its your channel Jay, and I enjoy all the content, just make the videos that you want to make, and thanks for letting us share in this part of your life. 480 for a hammer though, it better be automated for that price, the best value tools are the ones you always go to, and you hold onto for years, keep well big fella, all the best from the UK.
Who the heck needs a hammer made out of titanium? If my tools get wet, i dry them with a cloth, oil them down, and put them next to the wood stove to dry, and i am good to go. I still use tools bought andnused by my grandpa and great grandpa. That shed is looking great. You're doing an amazing job.
Loved the video Jay!! I agree with others, love watching a "non-professional" tackle a job like this. You're doing great and learning as you go along, keep up the good work!
Jay, your channel is one of the best new channels I've found lately. The way you think and communicate is just inspiring. I'm aiming to be doing in a few years, here in Ireland, the same you are doing. There is always a beginning for everything. Keep doing what you're doing cause it is right
You are evolving into becoming the "Bob Villa" of NW Territory Canada!!! LOL!!! 🤣 I Absolutely Love it Jay!!! I have to admit that I am Very much enjoying your new content!!! You got camping, outdoors, fishing, cooking, boating, power tools, construction, cabin, all wrapped up in a Beautiful and peaceful environment!!! 😯 Whoa!!! You are living a Man's Dream life Jay!!! 👍 Keep doing what you are doing Jay!!! 😁 I can't wait to see your next Amazing video!!!
A few years ago, I would do MINOR repairs while cleaning. (Oilfield) I bought myself some pink tools. Just cheapies. My hammer cost me $10. One Day my husband borrowed it. The next time I saw it, it had black electrical tape covering the pink handle. He said it was the best dang hammer he ever had so I can buy myself a new one. I didn't, I just thought it was funny. A few days later, I see one of the guys who worked for my husband with it. "Why do you have my hammer?" I asked him. "It's the best damn hammer I have ever used! Bill told me to use it and I just haven't given it back yet." He ended up getting another job, and I never saw that hammer again. The point to my story? The price of the hammer doesn't always matter. Does it feel good in the hand? Does it get the job done? Does it sometimes require black electrical tape? If the answer is yes, then it's a pretty dang good hammer, no matter the price!
I really enjoy watching you as you improve the cabin and add outbuildings. Learning as you go is sometimes the best way Jay. Somehow I am not concerned about the end result because it will be as you want it to be. Don’t stop keep going and enjoy your self that’s all that matters.
LOOKING gOOD jAY kEEP AT IT i LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL. Your down to earth and not pretnding to be a carpenter but your getting there, I am also leaning from you too . TC
Stiletto and Martinez hammers are expensive, but worth it if you're swinging it all day. I have a Martinez that is 6½ years old. I've changed the head twice. Love it. But it's expensive. I bought it for 225 US Dollars. I heard now they are over $300. Vaughan is always going to be my fav. 19oz straight wood handle the blue max 💙
Are you sure those 2x4s are actually 2" by 4"? If bought in Canada, which went metric half a century ago, I would expect the timber, planed to size, to be 45x95 mm. Also, if you want to mark the midpoint of a timber, rather than trying to calculate the exact point, round it off. For example, if you have 61.5, use 62; divided by two, it gets you 31. Then, mark 31 from each end and finally eyeball the midpoint between those two markings. Fast and less risk of making maths errors.
Hey Jay, I'm gonna make this short, I really think you'd not only enjoy but would get alot of ideas from a show I watch on youtube, called, 'Escape To Rural France'. Please check it out if you haven't. This guy (his name escapes me in this moment), is rebuilding a ruined chateau (partially on his own) to its original grandeur. I know it's not what you're doing, but every time I watch you or this show, I keep hearing tell Jay about this! Still keepin' it short but, love your channel, your drive, , etc, etc.....but most importantly, I want you to know what an immense inspiration you are....not only to many but to me. I thank you man. Rock on dude!!!
You're doing a good job Jay. As for that hammer, you bought the name. I have a hammer I bought for about $15USD about 35 years ago, and it still works well, has no rust on it and will probably last another 35 years. The thing about buying tools, is you have to factor in how much you'll be using that particular tool over the course of your lifetime. I mean, if you're a carpenter, a $20 dollar hammer will probably not cut it because it'll be used almost, if not, every day. Same with a saw, or chisel, etc. But, for a DIYer a $20 hammer works fine. If you want one to both use on your current project, and perhaps two or three later projects, then sure, a more expensive hammer would be a better choice. I do have to say, you paid for the name of that Milwaukee hammer. Not that you go ripped off, just that you paid for a "Milwaukee" tool, as opposed to a Stanley. As for that nearly $500 hammer, if I pay that much for a hammer, my great-great-great-great-grandchildren better still be able to use it.
Don't hate on my comments, but I write my thoughts as work for a framer and Sprinkler Company for 40 years.....Love Jay's Videos, but 400.00 for a Hammer, that is where is country and countries around the world are not solid with protecting your own. Next....Jay that roof is not going to work, you are not flush and using warped wood is never a good idea, but I get what your trying to achieve. Your slant on the roof is not correct, but I am out for this video as Sunday at 8:19 pm, and will pick up sometime this week. I will comment, but I am late always to your party. By the time I get to the end you always survive, funny how that works.

If I paid almost $500 for a hammer, it better be able to build the shed by itself while I drink beer on the porch.
A Stanley costs $9.95. That's good enough for me. 🙂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bfelten1 I agree!
Your pretty funny, had a good laugh

@@JamesSmith-mz9ec I yelled at Jay to STOP but I don't think he heard me
Yuppers, you need shim room for squaring the jamb and door up.
Don't forget the height, it should be 82 1/2" for RO.

I admire your courage and willingness to share this journey with us Jay. If I pay $489, I am flying on it to a tropical location.
Thank you for the video. I am a 64-year-old senior amputee and I love watching you build your shed improving your property. I look forward to it. Keep up the good work you’re doing great. I love your honesty.😊

Not without internet it isn't. I have to have my Independent Media for news updates throughout the day. Can't trust Canadian media whatsoever.
Jay,
You are doing a great job. Keep it up. Remember, you are not building a church, you are building a shed.
Jay, the pitch of the shed roof is too shallow for shingles. Water or snow melt will work their way under the shingles. Metal or plastic sheets would be more appropriate. Plus it will allow snow to slide off far easier than shingles.
I didn't know this. Excellent tip. Thank you
Estwing hammers, good price for a great hammer.
Man, I really like your videos and everything you’re doing, I’m living vicariously through you as I watch these
Thanks Jay for this early Sunday surprise…nice way to start the day…
You should start calling your “home style “ fries, “cabin” fries!

Tell us again just how much you like using clamps. Nice job. Looking forward to next week.
Love the idea of clamps . I used clamps to attach foldable solar panels outside my window. Great for strength without damaging window sill and temporary so can put them back on my van.
If a $489 hammer doesn't give me the powers of Thor, then it's a rip-off...
Jay, I like to watch someone who is not a professional, but willing to tackle projects like this. Can’t wait to see what you do with the cabin.
Great job Jay 👍🏼 waiting for your next video, keep up the good work 🔨🪚😊
Your circular saw blade depth is adjustable on your saw, there should be a lever you can lift and adjust your depth…
Exactly how I woulda done the "rafters". Work smarter not harder. Loving the videos!
Hey Jay. Big fan of your channel here in the Maritimes. I think some overlook your stellar production values and camera shots (including drone shots). I like watching you do things from a practical standpoint. How you figure out solutions to problems. Certain things I'd do differently, but you're always 'Gettin at er' and doing stuff. If you're ever at a loss for content, I'd like you to explain or show how you get your firewood for the winter - how you store your wood and split your logs. Keep up the great channel and bring the dog with you sometimes.
Watching you build your shed makes me want to build something at my camp. Great job!
Me and hubby look forward to watching your videos Jay I am from the UK 😊
I'm back here just to comment and like to push the algorithms. Jay to the moon 🎉
Jay you are funny - “being new to the construction scene” 😂 I want someone to sponsor Jay with a mega bucks hammer 🎉
Jay, I grew up in construction and worked in that industry as a helper and then framer and trim specialist. I owned 2 hammers a16oz. Plumb and a 13 oz> plumb. Still have them at 72 years old and still use those. I think I paid less that $5m for each bank in the 60's. Mny handles in both since bought!
Hi Jay, how are you doing. Some days I wish I could send pictures throw this way. But if you are going to be solar at or cabin. I have a solar fridge at my camp. The name on the fridge is Solstice that is the company. So I thought I would share that idea with you. It would save on propane. Anyway hope you have a wonderful week and stay safe and sound and take care 🙂

Quote from Jaws. “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”! 😂
It’s a titanium framing hammer. Its light weight and more durable, typically used by someone who is a professional Framer.
I suggest using the clear corrugated polycarbonate panels for the roof. Your shed has no windows and it will be a dark box. You're going to have a hard time finding anything in there. These panels are great for outhouses too.
Thanks for another good video Jay. You seem to be enjoying yourself ,mistakes,re doing. Good for you! Your good spirits are good for all of us. Thanks again.
Bro, good job brother, plenty of kudos from Brooklyn, NY
you can be a “ made man” LOL
Jay your abilities and your knowledge are growing with each video. Well done on the new shed. I do hope you have a pretty robust first aid kit. 6-8 rolls of Kerlex gauze and at least 6-8 tourniquets in it. With as much power tool use you are doing now and accidents can occur plus your distance from the nearest hospital is a recipe for disaster if not prepared god forbid. The new video format is awesome, keep killing it.
Go ahead and put the plywood on. Get it in the dry. Might be too flat for shingles. Need at least a 3/1 pitch. Some metal or roll asphalt roofing.
I often have to remind my dad when we're working that we aren't building a cathedral. If it keeps the weather and the critters out, it was built right.
I think it looks amazing. The only thing I might do is put a metal roof on top of the shed. I think it would wear better for you in the long run.👍👍
You're coming along just fine with the storage shed. After finishing it, maybe apply a wood sealant and water proofing to it to protect it from the elements. There's nothing like eating a hearty homemade soup. Be safe and careful my friend, until next time.

Metal roof all the way. Good forever helps shed the snow. It’s a win win!😊
I enjoy watching you do your thing. It is yours. Others can back away 😂
Jay, why not take your “fence” off of the top of your cabin and utilize that wood. Love all your content!
Everyway is the rightway,if it'swork's!! 👌👍☺️✌️🌻☀️❤️
When hammering wood into place use a spare scrap piece of wood ontop of your plank to prevent damage

Put tin on the roof so the snow will slip off.
You are taking too long for these projects. Three videos and you’re still not done with the shed very disappointed.
Totally agree. Seems he is just dragging it out. 35 min for this is just way too long! That shed is a one day job for me and Im 64 years old.

LOOKING gOOD jAY kEEP AT IT i LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL. Your down to earth and not pretnding to be a carpenter but your getting there, I am also leaning from you too . TC
Always enjoy watching Jay. What a gorgeous place to be building something.
Stiletto and Martinez hammers are expensive, but worth it if you're swinging it all day. I have a Martinez that is 6½ years old. I've changed the head twice. Love it. But it's expensive. I bought it for 225 US Dollars. I heard now they are over $300. Vaughan is always going to be my fav. 19oz straight wood handle the blue max 💙
Are you sure those 2x4s are actually 2" by 4"?
If bought in Canada, which went metric half a century ago, I would expect the timber, planed to size, to be 45x95 mm.
Also, if you want to mark the midpoint of a timber, rather than trying to calculate the exact point, round it off. For example, if you have 61.5, use 62; divided by two, it gets you 31. Then, mark 31 from each end and finally eyeball the midpoint between those two markings. Fast and less risk of making maths errors.
Jay. If you keep eating all that fried food and mayonnaise you’re going to keel over before you even finish that shed
I like seeing the impact driver for screws!
Hey Jay, I'm gonna make this short, I really think you'd not only enjoy but would get alot of ideas from a show I watch on youtube, called, 'Escape To Rural France'. Please check it out if you haven't.
This guy (his name escapes me in this moment), is rebuilding a ruined chateau (partially on his own) to its original grandeur. I know it's not what you're doing, but every time I watch you or this show, I keep hearing tell Jay about this!
Still keepin' it short but, love your channel, your drive, , etc, etc.....but most importantly, I want you to know what an immense inspiration you are....not only to many but to me. I thank you man. Rock on dude!!!
I love every bit of this content. It’s part of my evening routine whenever it drops. :D
You're doing a good job Jay. As for that hammer, you bought the name. I have a hammer I bought for about $15USD about 35 years ago, and it still works well, has no rust on it and will probably last another 35 years. The thing about buying tools, is you have to factor in how much you'll be using that particular tool over the course of your lifetime. I mean, if you're a carpenter, a $20 dollar hammer will probably not cut it because it'll be used almost, if not, every day. Same with a saw, or chisel, etc.
But, for a DIYer a $20 hammer works fine. If you want one to both use on your current project, and perhaps two or three later projects, then sure, a more expensive hammer would be a better choice. I do have to say, you paid for the name of that Milwaukee hammer. Not that you go ripped off, just that you paid for a "Milwaukee" tool, as opposed to a Stanley.
As for that nearly $500 hammer, if I pay that much for a hammer, my great-great-great-great-grandchildren better still be able to use it.
Don't hate on my comments, but I write my thoughts as work for a framer and Sprinkler Company for 40 years.....Love Jay's Videos, but 400.00 for a Hammer, that is where is country and countries around the world are not solid with protecting your own. Next....Jay that roof is not going to work, you are not flush and using warped wood is never a good idea, but I get what your trying to achieve. Your slant on the roof is not correct, but I am out for this video as Sunday at 8:19 pm, and will pick up sometime this week. I will comment, but I am late always to your party. By the time I get to the end you always survive, funny how that works.
This here is content I love watching, just a man figuring shit out!
