Finally a pro that's well spoken, detailed, and straightforward to the point and why. In not only carpentry but, video editing as well. I totally agree with feeling of bad assness after completing a structure. Especially if its flawless and herculean. I look forward to learning from you thanks!! Subscribed..

Thank you so much for speaking clearly and having your music in the background a lot lower then a lot of other videos I watch when they have the music so loud that I can't hear the person speaking and not be able to concentrate on what's going on due to unnecessarily loud music so I just want to thank you again cuz I can hear you clearly and understand every single thing you are saying thank you so very much

Great video, thanks!

May I suggest that while placing the concrete, vibrate the form boards by tapping with a hammer to fill the voids you see after removing the forms. Makes for a stronger slab and avoids a weak spot that may be penetrated by an anchor bolt.

I Felt like I was in a classroom listening to my Professor. Love your method of explaining step by step, how to build this shed.I am planning to live off grid and is interested in learning how to build.

My father built a shed 30 years ago and it's still standing unlike the metal or plastic sheds you get from Home Depot. It's in near perfect condition I might add.

I drew up plans for a 'lean-to' shed a couple of months ago. As it turned out they are almost identical to your shed. You gave me more confidence to begin building from the plans I made. I set the roof angle the same as my house roof angle to match as it will be positioned next to the house. Good job on creating your video.

Thank you for your time and patience for making the video and showing it to us.
Your English is so slow and perfectly clear that I can understand everything.
greetings from the south of Mexico Blessings. Muchas Gracias !!

I framed houses for about 6 years and fortunately with my degree I’m now a superintendent, but boy do I miss framing something about pulling the trigger on Hitachi 83A does it for me. This roofing system is perfect for someone like me who hates building gables out and even conventional rafters. So simple yet very clean and structurally sound, can’t wait for part 2. When lumber prices fall I definitely will use this plan build.

Great DIY video and he spoke very clear and the shed turned out great. And I'm building one next week

[carlosstansbury]

I watched probably twenty different videos to get to your's that was smart, simple, practical. Thanks.

[jvorholt]

Sooo happpy you used hurricane clips! I wish those were just standard code.

[melissanguyen]

This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen to learn how to frame. Thanks so much for this!!

[iancros]

Love your style ... love your acknowledgement that you are a tactile learner (learn from doing) ... that is me! Narration is clear and interesting ... love the humour sprinkled amongst the presentation!!

[dadinggo]

one of the most thorough videos i've seen thanks

[amxs]

Would love to see some plans for this. Hoping to build my own lean-to shed in my backyard come spring time.

[jerrypolete]

Much respect for giving out the free building plans. I’ve seen lots of videos like this and they say oh yeah I have plans on my page so you can build the same thing etc and you click on the plans and they’re like 39.99.. lol. So much respect to you sir for offering the plans for free. #BYOT

Hello. Nice work.
I’m French and I think, i understood you can send the plans of your nice shed, so yes I’m interested by these.
Thank you.

I noticed (in the video) you didn’t tamp /vibrate your slab when pouring. This process will help take air out of the slab before curing takes place. You can see this when you strip the form work. Depending where you live, this can let frost or water in the holes in the side profile of the slab, which when frozen expands and can crack the concrete.

The process of building a warehouse is so detailed and professional, thank you for sharing

[gravetotkd]

Great video. Love the shed. The way you are using the framing nailer, it is just a question of time when you will end up hitting a knot and shoot a nail into your hand. You should never aim in a direction of yourself or another person.
