It's about time to get the windows and doors installed in the camphouse shed. There are a total of 9 windows, including 1 custom window that I make myself, and 2 doors in this design. All of the windows are single-pane utility windows since this shed wont' be insulated or climate controlled. There is a steel man-door and a 6'x7' steel roll up door as well.
Per usual, I've never done any of this before so buckle up for more learnings at my expense. One of the biggest learnings happened when I discovered I had framed my man-door entry too small...so I get to cut into my brand new walls and fix that - fun!
I also find out that installing a large metal roll up door alone is not only tricky, it's downright dangerous! I narrowly escape disaster standing that door up but I do get it into place.
With all of that complete this shed is getting closer and closer to being done. Winter is definitely coming and I need to hurry and finish!
Thanks for watching and following along. Be sure to drop a comment if you enjoyed it or if you'd like to scold me for doing something wrong. Both are welcome!

Might want to get some safety glasses for your kid if he's going to be behind you as you're using a power saw and power nailer.
Ok iiiikj in
So I am guessing if Zendure didn't sponsor this video, that $1100 would be used to run power to the shed?
being in construction over 40 yrs, you aren't doing so bad. seen more than a few "knowledgeable" builders do worse stuff than the few mistakes you've made. keep up the good work!
That's a heck of a compliment, thank you sir!
Travis, when my house was under construction 31 years ago, my wife and I were looking at the framed walls trying to figure out what was wrong with a dining room wall. We couldn't put a finger on it. It was missing a window. And they were professionals. From one Travis to another
That outdoor tv is going to be the bomb!
I have really enjoyed watching you build this shed. Its something I have always wanted to do and is much easier and cheaper to just watch you build it while I sit on my ass at work.
Love your humor, and you know it's not a good build until you give a little blood to your work.
I love KZhead videos where people don’t hide their mistakes. The viewer actually learns more than they would from a video that pretends no mistakes were made.
I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project kzhead.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.
I love watching How-not-to videos!
I live by the credo of "good enough". You are certainly good enough.
Coming from a guy who tried to amputate his fingers one fingertip at a time installing automotive foil-backed insulation, you’re not doing too terrible. You’ve even upgraded from dodging self-directed nails to …eating screws? You’re a wildman, good sir.
Wow! The mistakes help me know that I’m not the only one! Thanks for sharing your TRUE journey!
Told my kid to make a window opening bigger then what it was. Nope, he crammed that window in… and upside down. I had to go back later remove it, cut the opening bigger and reinstall upside right. Works great now and doesn’t fall in when I open it.
You are the most entertaining You Tube maker there is. Delight in your escapades. The shed is coming along beautifully and is going to be a great addition to your home.
Pretty neat shed. Your wife is glad the garage door is up and this build is almost over so I can park my car in the garage now again!
It is exceedingly rare that I don’t skip thru the sponsored ads (sorry, Woodcraft, VPN companies, and Hello Fresh), but I stuck around for that portable power supply. That’s an impressive piece of kit.
New construction Remodeling!
Thanks for sharing real life. Most people won't and it is refreshing. No one is perfect. We have all done things we had to redo. The important thing is you are fixing it! If you still have all your parts (hands and fingers) at the end of the day, that's good enough. I love your shed. It is beautiful!
As someone that installed roll-up doors briefly, I can tell you that yes, you were correct in your assertion that you were on the brink of disaster doing that by yourself!! Dude!
Rock on my friend! This is absolutely great to watch.
I kind of needed this today. Nothing is going right out in the shop. Nobody is perfect. Thanks.
At 9:00 I was laughing out loud!!! Oh we have all been there! Its nice to be on watching vs doing side of it. Hang in there. Its going to be a cool space and you'll forget about most of the bumps in the road getting there.
It's been incredible watching you not only try new things but also share your failures and setbacks. Love this series!
Hola! 🖐Your project here looks like every single one of my attempts at ANYTHING! I am busting up laughing but not at you but at seeing the reflection of ME with a fumble, bumble, or hiccup along the way. I definitely applaud you for tackling this on your own. Looking forward to the next installment. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
I love this series of videos and your sense of humor. Reminds me of my experiences but I have less of a sense of humor when I screw up something obvious.
Hysterical! You sound like me in all my builds. Yet, in the end it works out and ends up spectacular! 🤣
Don't be so hard on yourself, man! 90% of people will go through their whole life without building anything. Their loss! I, for one, am enjoying the false confidence you've exuded in me that I too could fumble my way through a similar project. Keep it coming.
This is a guy that motivates other to start new projects specially alone
If you make the “keep pursuing construction mediocrity” t-shirt, I’ll sleep in line to buy it!
There are so much entertainment while constructing 😂 just made me laugh.
You set yourself apart from the rest by owning your mistakes even when there are several but trust me when I say your not alone… I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve built something thru to the end and upon installing the finished product I realize my measurements were wrong, this has happened on several occasions. I just get ahead of myself and it’s easy to do. But with that being said your doing a great job, hell some of the licensed contractors I’ve seen can’t frame this good, keep up the good work man. Love your channel by the way
My dad and I built a 20x10 shed at my house last spring. We did it over two weekends. Lot of work, but great memories. Kudos for doing it solo. I couldn't have.
About 5 months ago I finished building a 18x24 workshop with 24 ft trusses so that I could have a 6 ft overhang like you. I knew it would be challenging, but I learned a lot. Found out how much more I didn't know than I thought I didn't. Injured myself several times. Probably did many things wrong, but it passed inspection. Your assessment 'I'm an idiot!" was said many times. Very few times did I get done with something and feel really good about it. At least I now have a woodworking shop after almost 10 months of blood, sweat and tears and a lot more money than I thought I would ever spend.
A long time ago, an old (73) carpenter told his young helper, “It ain’t what you build that makes a carpenter… a monkey can follow instructions. What makes a carpenter is how you identify and correct (or cover) the mitsakes of the dummy that came before you.” This applies, often, for me… following my own work! ;)
I'm crying laughing watching this series because I've been there, made the same mistakes, and laughed at myself while doing so, and your sense of humor about the whole thing just makes the videos that much more enjoyable! Can't wait for the next episode of the shed build!
I had to shim the crap out of my front door when I closed my front porch in. Did the same as you with PL Premium and also spray foam underneath. Then OSI Quad to seal the outside, and Lexel on the inside 😂
Daughter?!? I guess I missed that one...that's cool!!! As a dad, you may feel like a yutz at times when you make mistakes, but your kids will think its so cool you can do the things you do. I know it's been said many times but I appreciate your humbleness and showing the mistakes.
I really like the honesty on the videos! We all learn from mistakes… I hope! 😅
Travis, I am much like you when it comes to doing things by myself. That being said, my wonderful wife, Wanda helps when needed and is by my side most of the time. Congratulations on not losing any fingers to the roll up door!
Your humor is AWESOME. None of us are perfect nor flawless and many are learning a ton from your mess ups. Can't wait for Ep 6.
That's looking like a nice building, running total is a different story.
Great job! Get a hammer and dolly and beat out the dent a little bit. It’s a shed door so the dent is just a functioning beauty mark.
I could watch this video three times and I’d likely cut the openings in my shed wrong myself. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Dude, good to see a “professional “ installation with real opportunities that are faced on the real world. Enjoying the build
Unless you spend more time editing than I realize, I am thoroughly impressed with how much you aren’t swearing!!! After this build I’d need a visit to the confessional. Side note: your humility highlighting your mistakes has to be directly proportional w/ the increase in subs. Good stuff.
Another great episode from my favorite series on YT right now. I think you're crushing it with this build and should be proud of what you've accomplished to date. You're not only doing the actual work to build the dang thing, but also compiling all of this content, editing & publishing, securing sponsors, etc. And you have a family! It's a ton of work and all of us (your viewers and subscribers) get to enjoy it. Keep it up!
Thanks man, many people don’t realize what goes into a project like this when we film the whole thing too!
I I couldn’t have said it better Jonathan. Travis is a very passionate and funny person. Everything he does is with excellence.
I’m loving this! I hope you drywall it, that video should be the cherry on top!
It is going as it should. I always got smarter from my failures.
When you're hanging a window you can just throw a couple of roofing nails in the flange when you get it level. It's a little easier and faster than a screw.
To get a better grip when walking on the metal roof, you can spray soda on the panels. When dry, the sticky residue improves traction and will wash off with the rain.
Now THAT is a cool idea to try
One of our contractors did this. It was long after I last did metal.
I have a roll up just like that on the back of my shop for the lawn mowers. Absolutely hate that door. There is a sizable gap at the top that lets the bugs in. Damn wasps love the rafters of my building.
The windows cost were very reasonable! Always enjoy your personality and eloquence in explaining the process. You are THE best of the best brother. Excellent KZhead productions.!
I love your humble attitude, it’s basically the whole reason I just binged watched this whole series, I look forward to you next video.
Great - Great Videos. Thanks so much for your honesty with the little mistakes. I have always enjoyed this type of project. I started flipping / renting houses years ago and taking on more than I should as we did renovations. If you do more this type work spend some time with an experienced framer and you will be amazed at how they do amazing work so quickly with nothing by a speed quare! I still can't fully use the capabilities of a speed square - but I have learned a lot working with some of my contractors just to learn! Great job and look forward to more videos!
Man makes me rethink building a new shed/chicken coop. Good work man. Look into door install brackets next time, way easier to set the door with these brackets.
Thank you for the honesty in building with errors!! Great work still!✌️
It sooo inspiring to watch someone doing stuff for the first time and still pulling it off - a bit like watching myself trying to make a square cut.
Hey Big "T" I will say that you are doing a great job. I have installed roll up doors myself and by myself it is tuff, so don't feel bad . The door and window, hey you came in and kicked it's a## . And know one will know the difference. Great too see your kids out there with you, great job.
I’m really enjoying this. Thank you and God Bless,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️
Doors are like people. Neither one of them like to be hung. Windows are doors are there own skill for sure. Nice job.
Man do I enjoy watching you do videos where you are humble enough to show us your mistakes.... It makes me feel like I'm not the only one. But really it's an awesome shed. How much will you rent it out for? lol. Ty.
Having built two homes I can only laugh along side of you as I could sooo totally relate with your mistakes. A master carpenter I mentored under told me “A good carpenter is one who knows how to cover their mistakes”. A great entertaining shed build video. 😊
I just came across this series and cannot wait for Ep 6
Sorry you're dealing with all those, uh.............., slight adjustments to the build. Your commentary is hilarious. I've built a couple things in my life, and doubt highly that even one of 'em was w/o error. That piece of ply as a jack will be fine. If it's not, think of the fun you'll have rebuilding. Looking forward to the next exciting episode (Scott Brown reference right there).
Brother you’ve got grit. Tackling this on your own has been entertaining to say the least. Keep it up. I enjoy the content as a small shop/business owner myself.
One of the best episodes yet in this series. Excellent.
Measure twice, cut once... and still be off. Feel your pain, man. Feel. Your. Pain. Note for the "one man door install." Use the ladder sitting just outside the door as a resting brace for the overhead roll. ;) The windows look good. The homemade one is a nice match.
Looking good. Nice that you show how things can and will go wrong. We have all been there. Its good that you keep pushing along and make it work. 👍
You might try contacting a paintless dent removal person. They normally work on cars, but I bet they could get that dent out of the roll-up for pretty easily. They usually charge around $100 a dent, at least in my area.
I've been putting up deck railing lately. No matter how much I measure between the posts ... 1, 2, 3 .. 10 ... 100 times ... I STILL have to take the railing back and make another trim or two. Measure twice, cut once, swear, measure again, cut again.
Love your comments and job well done!
I feel the new tag line some days.
Ya know, you are doing pretty well for all the limits of a one person, inexperienced crew. I’ve enjoyed this and truly think you are doing a good job.
Travis, chalk all of this up to life experience. overall job well done. Glad to see your not pointing that air nail gun towards your face anymore. Lol. Keep the faith partner your family is going to truly injoy this get away hut.
Travis: I noticed that your "utility" windows don't protrude any from the face of the walls (unlike your custom one). That means that the typical metal "J" trim, assuming that's what you'll use, won't have anything to butt against. I've got this problem myself in the situation where I've bought a used window that's made for retrofit and doesn't extend out past the flange. One idea I had was to trim the window on the outside similar to how the casing would be done on the inside, to create a profile that the J trim can seat against.
Enjoying the series.
Love this project! I respect the will to do it solo...and without formal training. The editing, and humor of the video is stellar...great work, looking forward to the next one.....
You are still way ahead of a VERY large percentage of the rest of us! Going to be a neat little retreat.
You’re doing a great job. I enjoy a great shed build.
Appreciate the honesty in your videos. I think all us none construction DIYers can sympathize with everything you go through.
High strength glass would be my choice for the custom window. Polycarbonate scratches very easily. Don’t use abrasive cleaners or “hot” solvents. Polycarbonate expands and contracts with heat. Mounting it tightly is risky. It could distort in the heat of summer. I’m liking your attitude about tackling a one man project, but it is risky so be careful and use safety equipment. Actually, you’ve completed the project so luck was on your side. I’m pretty irresponsible about safety myself, so I’m speaking theoretically only. :)
Essential Craftsman: how I see myself Shop Nation: how my wife sees me
Having been a builder for about half my 25 year working life I can honestly say that you have a pretty solid common sense approach to the build. If anything you are overdoing it and this shed will be severely storm proof, but I tend to do the same thing when it's my own stuff I am building! Keep up the good work! Also in terms of that dent in your door, you could probably build a form fitting jig for the outside and bang most of it out with a hammer and piece of wood from the inside.
Bingo! Thank you Joel! I was going to suggest thing. Perhaps Travis could cut a couple pieces to fit into the recesses and press then in to get the dents out as best he can. He will need some help holding the main piece in though.
That roll up door is fabulous! Why haven’t other attempted one like this before?! Imagine the ease of walking in your mower or storing large projects, etc. Anyways, I’m hoping you try solar panels instead of running electricity only because it’d be fascinating to see how that’d work, and why not? I found a guy on YT who did all of his own solar energy set up and it was really interesting, in fact it looked really good and inside his shed it didn’t appear different from standard electric. Anyways love the windows, thank you for the link and so happy you built your own large window. I think it looks great and I appreciate the taping of the windows, I’m getting new ones but want to be damn sure my installer makes them absolutely water tight. Again that roll up door is an amazing idea and invention, impressed you installed it by yourself
Check out a bakers scaffolding, its a lot better than a ladder for siding, windows, etc...
Great build. Really impressed with your craftsmanship. Doing a project this size on your own is very commendable. I like the way you overcome any issues or mistakes you make it's all part of a process. Hats off to you. It's inspiring me to finish off my own self build. No where near as big but a challenge never the less. Thanks for the inspiration and good work again!
Cost of materials so far $10,805.00, learning from your mistakes, fixing them and soldiering on- Priceless!!!... Great series
Thanks for messing up the man-door. I'm building a little shed and used sketch-up and a pluggin that makes the framing for you and my 3.0 door would have had the same problem, but by watching yours, I didn't have to make that mistake. Much appreciated!
Planning tip: windows are supposed to be sized for the Rough Opening (R.O.) they set in, and doors are sized by the door blank. So 3040 window RO is 3'-0" wide, 4'-0" while a 3068 door which is 3ft x 6-8 requires an opening that includes the door jamb kit that frames the door itself. Contractors I know sometimes add an inch each way on windows for 1/2" slop all around, and 2"each way for doors or a bit more in width if they don't know if customer wants a standard jamb door.
dude I sympathize with all the errors and F'ups you made, but seriously I love seeing someone else suffer the way I seem to every project I try to tackle. Love the Vids keep on keeping on
Great job! Keep up the good work. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who makes a few mistakes on every project.
I feel your pain brother! It never goes right when doing a project for yourself!
I also have been in the trades for 40+ yrs., and watching you build your shed has given me a lite hearted look into the homeowner world of building. It's coming along fairly good considering the mistakes you've made and corrected. You'll most likely want insulation once you've been through a winter. I'm sure that you've found out why a sq. slab is the most important part of a build.
Trial and error is the way to go!
You can run a power cord from your house to charge your Zendure Portable Power Station and have the conveniences of having portable power! 😂😂
Works really well with the Ultra Vibe Pleasure 2000...
😂
I love this series. We should've done an over/under and how many total episodes it would be :)
I would have put the line at +/-5 originally, but I've already shot the over!
You're definitely doing better than I would. Keep up the great work!
You’re doing a hell of a job!
glad im not the only one who measures 3x and it comes out wrong when I go to fit something in somewhere. I do tend to throw shet though when I get to that level of frustration.
I am enjoying this series and am impressed with your work.
