I should be sleeping but this man building a shed is more important.
Same😂😂😂
Exactly what I’m doing 4 nights later
I’m thinking the same thing right now at @4:30 am Monday morning 4/26/21
Absolutely with you on that one :D
3am 3 days after you lol
So glad I found this, your constant mantra of "Don't worry, it's just a shed" is helping me to avoid over-planning!
By far, one of the best diy videos on the internet….you have no idea how much you’ve helped me build my own shed. THANK YOU!!
I have watched my husband do all this for years. Watching you work brings good memories. He is disabled now, but I honestly think I could take on a she shed after watching this! You are generously giving for free knowledge and skills people have had to apprentice for years to learn! Thank you!
You can do this. Cheers Susan!
This is so wholesome
you're a literal saint for posting this without slapping ads on it. we love you, shed man
Anyone else watch an almost 4 hour video, with no intention of actually building a shed? No regrets.
Cheers!
Guilty.
I did and I am a builder.
lol and here I thought I was the only one
yes I did maybe some day will build one if i'm still kicking lol
the fact that he explained the whole process so well while being entertaining atop of all that in 40°c is so impressive.
I say this without sarcasm or irony: this is one of the coolest, most interesting videos I've ever watched. As someone who doesn't come from a handyman background, and who hopes to own a home in the next several years, this is an inspiration and guide.
I don't know if you read all of these anymore, and I don't know if it's weird to mention, but I watch all of your videos and find myself wishing that I grew up with a dad like you. Thanks for everything you do here.
Cheers Tara! Little late to the comment but I appreciate it
This guy has Dad shoes, we can trust him.
Lmao 😂😂😂
So fckn true tho
HAHA #newbalance
Old balance
It's true! Old guys do wear dad shoes. Old ladies buy them for their old guys - because men who wear dad shoes are usually too busy to buy their own shoes. One of the best things about being old is that nobody really cares what shoes you wear. It's a blessing in disguise because at some point your feet hurt too much to care about fashion. :)
I LOVE this A to Z format. Not only do you cover everything, but you add lots of helpful hints for lots of other things. This has been so valuable, thank you so much!
Here’s a good question: Why not use a nailer? I would guess you could cut the work and time in half, at least. That’s a lot of screws. Compare that to 1 second.
I would love for him to build my shed because it would be done right 👍🏽
Didn't think I'd spend 4 hours of my sunday watching a man build a shed, but here we are. Great content!
Me to I’m professional builder 😁
I watch everything on double speed ....so much so that When I accidentally Start a video On normal it seems superbly slow... Indeed latly I been wishing KZhead went all the way up to times 4 speed like auditable does.
Jeff, you are true inspiration, I build this shed (without door, windows and paint) in 5 days without prior expierence - sure I spent 1 month watching over and over your video + planing, it took some time to convert all dim to metric system - not all went well ( I made my shed with 5x10 cm studs thinking 2 by 4 is literally 2 by 4 :) find out that it isn't ) . I build my shed 3x3m so I had to make few changes. Thank you for all the tips and tricks -I felt like a PRO building it :) . I was watching this so many times that one evening my wife and kidz said : Oh no, not Jeff again :) - not once I was bored wathing it :) . Greetings from Slovakia
Cheers to Slovakia, we were there last year and absolutely love your country. The Trencin Mountains were our favorite.
Miroslav Petrik how much did you spend on material?
I would say that a cubic meter of cement will run you back about $500- $700 alone, but if you want it delivered pre made, then you would add another 0 to the end.
Great Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one off product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy finally got great results with it.
My current situation. I wish these plans were available on the site. I am building a coup/shed combo and I want this to be my overall design. I am on my third time around, making calculations, and sourcing products.
I built a shed based on his design, and it worked out great. It's not exactly the same but I trust it. Thanks for all the side comments about construction of it.
Well Done. Cheers!
I want to say THANK YOU! I have been so burned by contractors lately I decided, I have a brain, I can learn, just need a teacher and I keep finding your videos BEST OF CLASS! With a little patience and your instruction (even watched your, "which tools I need", and have been grabbing them 🤗) I KNOW I CAN do anything I want to learn. THANK YOU!
You got this! And I am happy to help!
I’m pregnant, it’s late at night, I’m in no shape to build a shed nor do I plan to, but here I am.
Good luck with the baby - maybe hubsand can build you a she-shed ***grin***
@@SparkeyCox or maybe her wife or maybe she doesn't have a husband. Just saying.
@@stephenbochicchio4506 - Maybe - but ok
You never know someday you and your daughter or son can build one together! Keep watching and learning you will be a pro,
@@stephenbochicchio4506 good for you Stephen good for you
Nice to see a vid where the host is not only talking sense, but is obviously actually doing the work himself 👍🏻👍🏻
Seems to be a rare thing these days....the so called experts actually doing anything!
naiboz that’s the best part. Such a cool ass teacher. Now I can relate to my contractor
Hat's off for doing so much hard labor and presenting a show (quite lucidly) at the same time. That's incredibly impressive. What a man!
You are just amazing! I am a 54 year old woman and you have given me the confidence to build this! Clear and concise. Love love love your work!
Agree!
I built an 8'3 1/2" square shed with the sloped roof, following the videos. It's on a crushed rock base with 4x6 framing and 2x6" floor joists. I also put 1/4" hardware cloth around the lower 3 ft. to discourage critters, as well as hardware cloth around the base to prevent burrowing. After lifting the first wall with the sheathing on, we switched to putting up the walls and then sheathing them (to reduce the weight of what we needed to lift). I did not add windows, but have a vent; I built two doors instead of a single pre-hung door, and omitted the mower door in the back. If I were to do it differently, I would make the walls 7'8 1/2" so the assembled shed was 8' to match the sheathing dimensions, and I would double check the framing of the base for square before dumping 1 1/2 tons of crushed rock inside it and positioning the walls. All in all, your instructions allowed a petite 60+ woman to build a shed.
Congratulations Ms. Koenig ….. Well Done ! His presentation style builds confidence that the listener can actually do this project if we relax and pay attention to what he is saying. I do enjoy that you already would make changes if and when you do another build. He teaches in a manner that instills confidence that if We pay attention, and apply his information, there is a rewarding
Experience to be enjoyed.
You’re amazing!
This is the kinda guy everyone wishes they had for a neighbor. Friendly, knowledgeable, and sensible!
If you can’t do what he can then you don’t want him for a neighbor. Because, he will suck away the last few drops of testosterone you have left. Then you will be a sad lump of a man.

Notice the type of fence erected between him and neighbour lol
And has all the tools necessary for any job.

We started with this video and today almost finished our first proyect! I just wanna say thanks for your Chanel and advices…
I watched this video so many times just to see how Jeff is working and explaining. There is something addictive about this guy. Something like Scotty 😂
You've single handedly built a generation of DIY's with your videos. I am joining your membership club. I dont how else to thank you.
This channel is teaching me everything my father didn’t haha
Right?!
IS there any chance your father did teach you and you just didn't listen? I have an 18yr old who would say the same thing you did but he just doesn't listen when Im teaching him.
@@cjhan47 more than likely lol
@@cjhan47 no.
My dad has never been construction- or mechanically - inclined. What I learned about building and mechanics, I learned from my maternal grandfather. I learned a lot of other things from my father, though. I like to think it's helped keep me well-rounded.
I love how he shows things can be changed and fix without stressing 😊
In honour of Mr. Lahey ❤❤❤ That just made my day! Such an incredible human, Rest easy John Dunsworth.
My dad and I built a shed together when I was about 7 or 8. Start to finish, top to bottom. This really brought back memories. I'm getting back into building a bit and it's very rewarding.
I have never seen such a comprehensive how to video in my life! Wow! Great work and thank you for sharing🙂
I have completed my shed, thanks to you!!!!! I truly appreciate this video. It helped me in so many ways!
This video is 4 years old and I sat thru all 4 hours of it. Best damn DIY shed building video ever!
This was more entertaining than watching a movie and I learned a lot.

Man, best DIY ever, no hustle, no sales bs. BUT yes please do metric 🤘
Watching this shed build has me feeling inspired to tackle my own DIY project! 💪 Amazing job!
I'm blown away (metaphorically speaking)!! I've NEVER watched a 3hr video but his content was gripping. I've no intention of building a shed per se, but I do want to frame inside a larger shed, and I want to put a veranda/shelter at my backyard. This has given me a really comprehensive understanding of the construction and helped me figure what I can do and what I will need help with - this 57yr old woman ain't walking no roof truss panels up a ladder!! This is a brilliant tutorial and learned some great tips for using the circular saw (love the table saw hack) so I can now plan my projects for the coming spring. I must say too that although Ireland has been metric for some time now - my default is still feet and inches. Fantastic video, well done, and props to the camera man who, like every good war correspondent kept it real, and never left his post even when you were struggling. Thanks for all of this.
Im building a raised hunting blind and have been planning on building it exactly like that pretty much. This video helps alot and glad I stumbled onto it. I appreciate your hard work and putting in the detail
Your videos are great for weekend project guys like me. Keeping it simple and thorough for the uninformed like me. Your friendly Canadian attitude is refreshing and feels genuine.
Insane commitment to film this entire video in 100++ degree heat, I would have given up and come back another day. Bravo!
I love watching these kind of videos. Surprisingly, I watch them like it's a TV show. I don't do any of this kind of stuff really, but your How to install a new electrical socket really helped me out in 4 rooms and saved me literally hundreds. Now if I ever need a shed, well, I'm calling a truck with pre-made cement, lol - Thank you for the videos! Great work

I LOVE the honesty of the process here. Every big DIY project I've worked on has a moment where I get frustrated by having to go back a few steps (like leveling the boards for the foundation). This is a tremendous video and is greatly appreciated.
See Pragmatic Me comments
This was a truly awesome video on how to build a shed. I have so much more confidence now that I can build my own shed. Thank you so much!!
Just watching this now - in 2021. I appreciate your tips and common-sense approach in what you do. As always, excellent instructions and advice.
I'm only an hour and a half on, but I must say, you sir, are pretty awesome. You make it feel much less intimidating to tackle something like this.
This is one of the best home improvement channels on KZhead, imho. One of my favorites (this and See Jane Drill). Home RenoVision DIY has the best of content.
Yeah both sick arse channels
At the end of my 8*10 shed build. Used your build, work around, tips and tricks to make it happen. I dno how many times I watched your video. But it helped all the way
Just wanted to say THANKS. I just finished my 5 x 12 shed. I used your video as a guide. VERY happy with the result. TY
You built that whole thing all by yourself. Bravo! You are a bonafide badass.
Cheers!
"If you can build a shed, you can build a house!" I love it!
Wish there was a material list, plans with steps to go with the video. Not sure how many times I would need to watch to count the number of 2x4s needed etc. This is the best video I have found and given the number of views, seems like there is an opportunity to sell the plans, material list, cutting guide etc to help those of us less gifted to go for it. Thanks for the great video.
I can't wait to finish this. It's been really steady, calm, and to the point which came across informative but not making me feel stupid for not knowing something. I have been researching for a shed build and a chicken coop build for a few months now. Can't wait for that moment I feel confident to jump in and do it!
This was so awesome. I feel like I can build a shed with no problem. I am hooked on this guys humor, lol and easy detailed explanation of a shed build. Aweome, awesome, awesome video. Loved it!
He he. From The UK and Rhodesia. Say: out, house and about. Cracks me up every time!!! It's like trying to teach my Scottish grandmother to speak English 😮
Screw what ppl say. Do you, you're doing awesome work. This is the most sensitive group of ppl of ever seen. Do what works for you. Great work
It's 5:38 am and I never watch videos like this but I'm loving this man, he's an intelligent genius. A Great video to watch .
I've decided to build my own outbuilding to serve as an office since I'll be doing pretty much all remote work now, and between your shed videos and Larry Haun I'm feeling pretty darn ready to go. I've watched this three times already... :)
Best motivating thing I've ever heard! If you can build a shed you can build a house! Boy did I need to hear that today!
Bee stings? Dog attacks? Handy not handsome? THIS IS MY FAVORITE DIY VIDEO OF ALL TIME!!! No joke man, you kept me watching the longest video I've ever watched in my life! Because I'm Mr. ADHD, this is a significant lifetime accomplishment! Learned so much from this, you should be charging for views of this! GLORIOUS!!!
This guy sucks me into hours long videos... And I love it!! I've learned so much. Thanks Jeff!😁
I watched this video from start to finish, actually took me 4.5 hours with rewinding it, cool project, never thought it would be that much effort. Trying to build a shed at the moment on a uneven level concrete that was laid around my house. Don’t where to start and dont want to redo the concrete.
I loved your deck and shed video. I was watching it and my husband starting watching it too. We have bought homes and improved them, then sold them [not flippers] for over 30 years. We wish we had found someone like you, 30 years ago. We could have saved thousands. Thank you for showing people the right way to build.
Holy shit. Did he screw everything on the deck too? That is an insane amount of work.
I'm so happy KZhead algorithm brought up your channel 🎉 Usually DIY videos are only up to 30 minutes covering basics!! But for beginners every detail is important.. You're the top man!! Thanks for teacing ❤
Best DIY Ive seen in a long time, instructive clever and most importantly everything is shown to be within everyone's skill set ,the chat and humor make it even more appealing . If you struggle to use a power tools or cant seal a window or door try it on a bit the off cuts lying around till you improve your skills excellent vid.
Here is someone who gets it. Cheers Boom Boom!
Undoubtedly the best DIY shed building video in the world!!
fell asleep watching this then had a dream about building a shed. 10/10 very good dream
Seen your work hours upon hours,,,you are a very hard worker !!! Not to mention very skilled, to the point, amAZING
Your content is excellent!! You have a way with teaching that makes it very simple to follow along, and that’s so rare when it comes to diy building videos. I’m a remodeler/handyman in South Texas and just became a new member 👍 keep it up!
I really enjoyed watching this video. I've never seen someone build a shed from start to finish. I really like the time you took to explain the building techniques along the way. i really liked the roof concept of the roll out shingle product. Thank you very much! Definitely saving this video for later. John - Lake Ann, Michigan
Really enjoying this. I will probably revisit this video many times more. Great info, techniques, suggestions. Well done
This man is mesmerizing! I'm just swiping along and get locked into his videos every time. And of course thanks to KZhead's algorithms, I am looking into building a new shed, etc.
I just wanted to say, I found your channel when I was looking up how to remodel my shower, but I enjoy your videos so much I have watched many many more! You are a great teacher, with a sense of humor, and you explain things well and easy to understand. Thanks for doing these videos!
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!
Best 4 hours on KZhead! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really liked the tribute to Mr.Leahey, I met John Dunsworth a couple of times. He was a true gentleman and boy did he love his rocks and concrete! Cheers from Enfield, NS :)
Ever since I started in Trades I learned a lot from Jeff Thorman, very good and knowledgeable guy. Thanks always for your effort sharing your knowledge.
Wow! Watched this whole 4 hours with a glass of wine in COVID quarantine...loved it! So explanatory, informative and fun! Thanks for the change of measuring tape lol... Helps your Aussie viewers!!!
Also when nailing the lumber together I have found a little trick if the boards just won’t go flush by standing on them, use a 8d nail and pound it in at a 45degree angle and use your finger to pull the stud up as you use your thumb on the same hand to press against the plate. Works pretty slick
The reference to Jim Dunsworth was just awesome
It was you who got me to get a wheelbarrow with two tires last week. 🤫😅☺️😉
Loved your shed build video with all the tips and tricks when working alone. I used lots of the tips when building a 10 foot by 18 foot racing pigeon loft by myself. Thanks for taking the time to create this helpful content.
I remember when TLC or DIY TV channels used to have shows like this (remember Hometime). Now it's just heavily edited reality tv crap. Thank you so much for making these videos Home RenoVision DIY.
Best video series I've watched on KZhead. Used this to build my backyard shed, thanks Jeff!
"if you can build a shed, you can build a house" an amazing quote
watched this video because I have a construction class coming up very informative. Nice job putting in the effort to make a 3 hour long video for other peoples information. Impressed(:
I did watch this. I already have a shed, but to know that some one put this on You tube was great.
im watching this to make an office apart from my home cause during work im a bit too loud so this is PERFECT
I've done a few similar projects like this already but still learned a crap ton here. Excellent in showing little tips and tricks but also the WHYS behind things here. Knowing why we should do something really helps to instill the confidence. Thank you for your wisdom good sir!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers Sean!

Hey man, I was able to get a lot out of listening to this video, playing in the background as I am configuring my S. Florida carport into a multifunction (wood/metal) workshop. Many unique challenges posed by the subtropical "rainforest" climate, considering both day-to-day oppressive heat & humidity as well as the inevitability of tropical storms & hurricanes. Your explanations for why certain aspects of your design are required makes for a universal how-to with the only blanks being the nature of mitigating the impact of these regional variables . Thanks for sharing your experience without censor, the true hallmark of what an informational documentary should be.✌️
Dude dude dude!!! U are changing lives. Giving the average joe confidence. U are definitely a blessing and giving lessons. God bless u, man! And God bless KZhead! I’m black but u wish we were cousins 😂😭💪🏾
Anyone with a great attitude is family to me. Cheers!
this guy is a PRO because he knows the PRO-SESS
You are a talented engineer. I wish you good health
Wound up building a shed with this design in 2021. Rewatching now because I’m building a second shed. This time I’ll write down notes but I still enjoyed the whole 4 hour rewatch 😂
I don't even own a home, heck I don't even have the money for the materials used in this video but I've already watched over an hour. Very entertaining
The video is enticing to watch. Also the works are just great.
What an effort! Jeff, I finished the whole "movie' and I commend your effort and dedication. Bravo. I did however, make a couple notes regarding the beginning stages and have a few of my own "contradictory" or perhaps "additional comments" to include: a) wheelbarrows have long been perfected, one wheel is required/preferred/necessary at the front end for proper load management and maneuverability! Apart from this ideal situation, the likelihood of said wheelbarrow needing to traverse a single 2x6 at one point in its life is a guarantee! b) WATER, WATER, WATER...before you even get your road base down...add some water (and ideally compact the area); before you start shoveling your pile of 0.5 yards (or more) of road base...add some water to it (especially on the side of your house)! It keeps dust down, so a mask is less necessary, but your neighbors and plants will thank you as well. c) once your base is down in this loosely formed structure...you absolutely must add water...plus at least a 60lb compactor. These are your friends in the concrete foundation game! Despite the measly 5" squared, single layer of wire mesh or not, it helps compact/settle/and retain the moisture for the actual concrete that is to be poured as the slab, preventing it from loosing its base moisture content which = a great deal of its strength in the the curing process
i like building things and fixing myself, in the process of buying my house and will rewatch this video and build shed. I like extra space for my stuff on a side. love how everything is measured. thank u for well explained video. i fast forwarded a lot of times but still understood lots of things.
A near 4 hour video! This says it all about this channel and their quality to doing things RIGHT.
