    Dude, I am a retired bridge form carpenter/concrete finisher. That was the BEST tutorial I have ever seen. Great video for the DIYer.
  • 😀I am a Novice and this was explained to were I could understand it. I will share a picture when I am finished. Thank you for teaching this for people who want to learn it correctly.
  • When you understand something fully,you can explain it simply. Great instructional video!
  • @ReneeReviews9
    This video is literally the easiest shed build to follow! Thank you for helping everyone from all levels of experience! Love this video!
  • First time building a shed. I followed your instructions. Took me about 5 hours to build the floor. Mainly because I was off square by 2 inches. Took me a while, I had to drill the frame to the 4x4 on one side and kick the bottom until my numbers were at 153 inch on each corner. After squaring the frame it was down hill and easy. Walls coming up soon. I watch your videos several times before starting this project. Thank you.
  • I want to thank you for making this video series. I've watched tons of other "how to" videos on building, and none of them really helped me. You made these videos easy to follow, and did an amazing job of explaining things that more experienced folks probably think are obvious. Even the little tips and hacks made a world of difference! I've been trying to start my journey into falconry for 10 years, and building my mews has been the big sticking point. Thanks to you, I'm almost finished building the perfect building. THANK YOU!!!!
  • Thank you so much.. your kindness to show all of us even us girls who’ve never built anything before gives me great confidence in myself and other moms and women 🙏🤗

    I never even built so much as a bird house, but I made this shed thanks to your video series and your plans! I made it 8x8 and made a few mistakes that I got through, but it came out great for me! I wouldn’t have even tried it without your videos - that I was constantly referring back to during the build. Thank you.
  • @Forni1111
    Extremely well done! Quick, to the point and loads of extra tips. I really like how you explained what fasteners to use.

    I’ve watched this series of videos over and over. I’m building a storage shed in my backyard and following your instructions and advice. I’ve made some mistakes and I’m constantly rewinding to make sure I’m doing things right. I only have a few hours after work each day to build so it’s a slow process but it’s fun and it’s been an adventure. I just wanted to say I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. I’m currently at the stage of making the door. I’ve taken some photos and I’ll post them when I get done. Thanks again!
  • I’ve been a welder, grinder, and fabricator for 25 years building custom stainless pressure vessels. I had hell trying to get my foundation level because my backyard has an uneven 15 degree slope. I got my foundation level and the subfloor turned out great. I did have to use a few shingles to slightly shim under the 4X4’s to blocks for perfect level. My tank building skills is what helped me get through this 1st part of my 8X10 shed project. I appreciate your help by making these videos. The walls and roof should go pretty smoothly. Thanks.

    Love channel. I am from British Columbia and am happy to see a Canadian DIY channel. I just finished building the floor have probably watched this video 100 times to get it just how you did it! Thanks!
  • @ritchiemeza
    i’ve never seen a video so clearcut and informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge. this video is giving me the courage to try and make a shed on my own
  • @DanielDemir
    I am looking forward to seeing you finishing the walls and the roof. Thanks for sharing.
  • @rickaitken9448
    I built a storage shed following your tutorial 18 months ago with painted OSB walls. I'm in Scotland where our climate can be really wet and my shed is as good as the day I built it. Say "No" to the nay-sayers about using painted OSB... it's as good as timber. Great tutorial by the way, many thanks.
  • Thanks for the DIY floor base build a shed video. I will be building a floating base for Duramax 7x7 shed this Spring for a neighbor. After watching your video, I know exactly how to do it! Thanks Jesse !
  • @LarsWaldron
    Thank you so much for this. So helpful you wouldn’t believe it. Feel armed with the knowledge to build my base. Thanks from the uk!
  • @mikebarnard99
    What a great video. Simple, clear best instructions I’ve watched. Thank you.
  • @lunapatriot6709
    Wow. AWESOME TUTORIAL. You made everything easy to understand. I'm building this shed as soon as I finish a chicken coop I'm currently building. I WISH I'D FOUND THIS VIDEO SOONER. I'll be sharing your channel with all of my DIY carpentry and building buddies. THANKS .
  • @realtorromeo
    Great Video. Happy to report that I followed your instructions to build my shed. Every video in your series was very helpful. Thank you so much.
