Can we just appreciate how much care goes into editing to the music.

I love the way you do your sponsor plug-ins along with your video. It isn't as much of a disruption, yet it still is "right there." Excellent job.

the thing to do is first cut the house wrap just like you did but then fold it into the widow opening and staple it down. Don't cut it flush, it provides another barrier to moisture. Then go over with the black tape starting at the bottom (sill) and then work your way up. I would have also suggested not using silicone on the bottom of the window on the inside. If water gets past the silicone you put on the outside (bottom) you want it to drip out, not collect in that gap between the two silicones. Probably not going to be that big a deal anyway because you have a pretty big overhang. But wind may blow water at those windows. Looking good either way. Nice shed.

Love the ghost deer hidden in the video.

Ok, the fact that you matched the tempo of the nail gun to music is rad AF. Used your video for making the gravel pad, stayed for the rest of the build.

Great job!!! I made my shed base following your vids- bought the shed tho. Oh btw, the term you're looking for is "stop". Mullion is a vertical piece between windows, muntins are the bars that make up a decorative grid in a window, mullet is a type of hair style and mutton is sheep meat. Window terminology can get pretty tricky.

LOVE the corner miters - more esthetically pleasing. And with your assembly method, I think even I could do

Seeing your shop always inspires me to go clean up mine. So here I am at 430 am about to go clean my shop up some before gym and work. Thanks for that Brad. 😂

I came through Tennessee the end of may and heard and seen all the cicadas… I was happy as a kid in a candy store.. they make my favorite sound it reminds me of a time in life when I didn’t have the worries of an adult… summer nights as a child sleeping with the windows open and my dad was still here with us.. I understand how it cld be a problem for some of you especially with the double brood…

Appreciate the excitement you get when something works. It's very relatable.

Here in new Zealand we use packers in the corners of the windows and door to prevent any stree on the taped seem. The doors and should also have a header and sil flashing along with the jamb flashings. Even with a shed this is standard practice

[MickelMart]

I appreciate the time you took editing the you-nails to the beat of the music. 👏

[jorgeconcheyro]

0:55 the ghost deer hahahaha.... and the sync of the nail gun is truly appreciated. and the dead one :) Cheers from Buenos Aires

[GarrettCrosgrove]

2:25 the nailing music video timed to the beat was a nice touch.

You should paint both sides of the soffit.
That prevents moisture from the "top" side migrating through the board and causing the painted side to bubble or alligator.

I really like how you mitred the trim-molding thereby making it look more finished! I like the super clear, plexiglass windows and trim-moulding on the inside of the shed! The doors turned out great, and I especially like the spring loaded pin holder on the inside of the left door. I cannot wait to see the next episode with more of the finishing details.
Well done!

Cicadas. They’re all over my house and trees here in Suburban Chicago. Great job on that shed. Looking good.

[nicholasbodnar]

Lexel or Through the roof is my sealant of choice for windows like that. Also Big Stretch caulk for all the other caulking needs throughout this project. The are sold at Lowe's and other ACE type hardware stores as well.

[AniDuBes]

lightening striking the ghost deer, classic!
