Building a 12x16 Shed start to finish! Time lapse. Cost $2,800.00

This video I’m building a 12x16 shed. So I can finally get the rest of my stuff out of storage. I built this shed in two weeks. I took off work so I could get it to the point where it is dried in. This is a time lapse of the build. I spent $2,800. dollars so far on the shed.
Concrete 4yds $900.00
Dirt $200.00
Materials $1,700.00

As a contractor that does a lot of one person work I’d give you a couple of pieces of advice or points that have served me well for work like this: 1. Sheet good carriers can help a lot allowing you to easily carry 3/4” plywood of 5/8” drywall by yourself and along with that sheet clips which are simply folded metal that forms an H, you drop a couple on your previous sheet and simply drop your next sheet in, and they hold it while you nail/screw; and 2. Cellulose PVC for the bottom foot of your sheeting, it doesn’t rot, it’s water proof, and along with foam under your bottom plate and pressure treated lumber for the bottom plate, will ensure the structures you build will outlast you. I also like cellulose PVC for soffits and trim as you can get it in numerous colors, you never have to paint it, it doesn’t rot or leak, and there isn’t a bug around that likes making their homes in or with it.

I'm thinking about doing a 16x24 shop/shed on gravel pad with treated skids. I plan to just scale up your build to those dimensions. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Liked the tip about the pressure treated plywood strip at the base. Thanks for sharing.

As a Union Carpenter Foreman, this looks Ain't gonna lie, that's a lot of hard work for 1 Can't say I could do it!!!!

Thank you for bringing sanity to the world of YouTube build videos. Elsewhere, you'll see people overbuild like crazy. For example, a small greenhouse built with concrete+rebar and 6x6 posts

You make it look so easy. I am afraid of heights and xant even climb a ladder to hang christmas lights. Love carpenters.

[OuterHeavenNET]

i'm about to attempt the same. Never done it before. This will be a learning experience for me.

9:20 I love the laughter at your own awful joke. Great build. You move really quick for a thicker guy.

[mikemd]

Really well done! Impressive and inspiring that you did this yourself. Thank you for posting!

Pro tip. Hit that bottom 4 1/2 with Henry's roofing tar. Roll it on both sides and the bottom with a wiz roller or a 9 inch. Works great on T-111 as well. Great video

[Roscoschickenwaffles]

Nice solid build! Liked the dimensions looks like it fit your property and space perfectly! Well done!

[jmartinez]

Solid job, he put shear wall.... He also is making the top boards 2x6 for extra strength.... SMART!

Loved the 80s music! I'm so impressed by what you were able to accomplish, by yourself!! Dude, without that second set of hands, the job is at least 5 times more difficult. You methodically made it work! Respect!

[luispena]

Awesome job. Really like how you built it just yourself. Shows a lot of dedication. 💪🏽

[marquardtbd]

Methodical, by the numbers. No unnecessary movements. No wasted energy. I hope the bad weather down there in Alabama didn't cause problems for you. Great job.

Beautiful shed. Good lines and proportions. Nice job on the shed and the video!
