how much did this cost to bulid

The "How To Build a Shed" series is one of The Best step by step videos I have ever encountered. The verbal instructions are clear, accurate and are synced with the video. Well done, and thank you. Sincerely Tom B.

great video - thanks for sharing

how much reveal on the shed do you have for the door overhang.

Maybe I missed an explanation, but why on earth would you put hinges on the outside of the door? All it takes is a screwdriver & a little time and someone can get inside to take whatever they want.

I'm a bit confused here. If the back panel is 1 inch smaller than the door opening, then how can the front panel possibly have a 1 1/4 inch overhang compared to the back panel? That would mean the front panel is 2 inches larger than the door opening. Seems to me the front panel should have a 1/2" overhang in order to fit into the door opening. Doesn't make any sense. What am I missing?

The only problem with hanging a door like this is anyone can take your door off the hinges and steal your crap. 

Hi Ron, can you actually use the drawing to make the shed? like all the sizes, angles.....etc.. thanks for the tutorial.

Wow! Great Tutorial, I learned a lot. Step by step.. I didn't know how to use the group matt and the difference of component and group. Thank you for sharing this video. I love it!

Good work, sir! I like your approach of building your project digitally first. It allows you to discover problems and address them before you make the first cut [and likely wasting material]. I've been using SketchUp for a few years now but you've taught me many time-savers I could've been using. Wish I'd found your site a long time ago - might've saved me a few headaches. Now, to build my new deck...

Hi, thanks for this series of videos, I learnt a lot, particularly about groups, rotation and referencing. Just one thing though, can you cut down on the random moving around the model? It's very distracting and actually makes me feel a bit motion sick!

Just finished watching your shed tutorials. Although I am pretty good with Sketchup I learned several valuable tricks that will speed things up for me and make things easier, particularly the Outliner window. Great work; thanks for the information.

I want to thank you so much. I had downloaded the program, but was having trouble using it. this will help me a lot'

You have stretched the roof sheeting to slightly over 5 feet by 8-1/8", and it doesn't meet at the top. By the time you get done you have a flat spot on the roof that is approaching 2-1/2" because you didn't meet the sheeting that is already bigger than any one sheet. Seems like if you are going to do something impossible you would at least be consistent. Then when putting on siding you let one end hang over 1/8", flush in the front of the building, the entire 1/8" in the rear. On the other hand, this is a sketchup tutorial, not a building tutorial. Finally, when you finish the last video you tell us that you are not going to go into all the remaining details "because it would take 'forever.' " It really sounded like you were tired of the project and just wanted to end. Partly because you spent so much time telling us the Rectange tool and the Push-Pull tools were "Here or the letter P" (or Here and the letter R). But that's OK, I was tired of it too. Let me hasten to add that I have gathered useful information from your videos, but it would be nice if you would liven them up somewhat. Less time drawing rectangles and more time on the rotate tools. Should I be able to tell which direction is first then second when drawing the rectangles? If I draw one direction it has 1.5" first, but on another plane 3.5" is first. I'll go somewhere else to find that information, but thanks for what I've learned from this site.

I've downloaded the free version of Sketchup 8 and the select using a drag a box function does not work. Is this attribute supposed to be functional with this version, if so how can I set it?

Very good tutorial. I made it to the end with very few mistakes. Thumbs up.

Hi James, I am a complete noob at this sort of thing, but what sort of wattage would you get from your 25w panel give, would it power a 2500w watt chain saw? we are trying to power a allotment shed to give us power on site, ps I could tell by the accent your from the northwest I a from liverpool

I'd love to share with you my playhouse for that I created after watching you teach me the basics. How would I show you some photos?

Just curious if there is a particular reason to use nails and not screws?

is it necessary to use pressure treated floor joist?

in this video, you say "to crown" ---What does that mean specifically? Thx!

Whats the size of this shed?

Nice video, but I notice a small error. At 1:05, you say "continue making marks every sixteen and three quarters inches..." If you did that, they'd be 16 3/4" O.C., not 16" OC.

What nail gun and air compressor do you use? Also which nails do I use? =)

Will this design work for a bigger shed? I am making a big shed for my man cave workshop and I need a design that can hold everything a good shop will need.

Thanks for the videos! Started a while ago now I'm hooked and up all night. Quick question though: Some time in the next year or so I'm going to build a shed behind my house to use as a car workshop for body painting. I'll need a foundation that can handle 10,000+ lbs of heavy duty trucks. It's looking more and more like I'm going to have to build a whole concrete foundation as if I'm making a garage but based on your expertise would a solid wooden foundation like the one you use (just heavier duty wood for the larger shed of course) be good enough to support the weight? Thanks again!!

@12345mike6789 - The base was actually my dad's idea. The shed I purchased came with a floor kit, but it's cheap and steel and will rust/rot pretty quickly up here. So pressure treated 2x6x10's and some plywood was the way to go. The base will probably long outlast the shed itself lol.

Hey Andrew you should do alien isolation!!!!!!!!! Read!

Love your vids! Ps. Name it DeltaDomain!!

reposting this idea, please vote on if it should happen or not and if you would want it like this AndrewOscarDelta, i am a huge fan of both you and the forest, i wanted to ask you what you thought of this idea, we get more effigies and certain ones or build enough and you can control like some cannibals out of respect, they could work for you but not be that dumb brainwashed kind, like they would fight for you, and build shit for you when you would go exploring for suit cases or to stir troubles in the caves. you could send them out to find stuff for you or do raids. like to survive in a forest full of cannibals you should be able to recruit cannibals to make your own tribe, this literally would be the definition of surviving, you dont live long on your own, you live well with others covering you while you work.

Plz dont swear at ALL cos I got in trouble when I watched it next to my mom she's mad

Are you still going to play the long dark, alien isolation, and sims? Just curious 

is unturned comming back on this channal???
