    @laureljensen796 5 місяців тому

    Ive watched this whole series. Very useful. My question is if you dont use z flashing between sheets on the gable and just do trim dont you run the risk of water behind the trim board sneaking through the seam? i know you have an overhang but rain does not just fall straight down. Very curious of your opinion. Thanks

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 4 місяці тому

      It is a valid point. We didn't use it do to our location and with the over hang we did not feel too much rainfall would hit the wall at this height - and that caulking properly would be adequate (we also tapered the top of the 1x4 covering the joint to shed water). That said. In most cases, where you have an exposed joint like this, then yes, highly recommended if not a most do! Thanks for asking!

    How necessary is the bottom chord on the truss?

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 4 місяці тому

      Good question... this depends a lot on where you are building... with a snow load I would not chance building a truss without it (keeps the truss from sinking at the peak with weight on it). If you are in a climate with no snow, you could build without it but I would recommend making the peak gusset bigger and applying it to both sides of internal trusses. That said, overall it is best to keep it, and if you opt not to use it, make sure it is safe to do so - in other words, proceed at your own risk.

    Is not a good idea to do a birds mouth on the rafters ??

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 7 місяців тому

      Not when you are building and using prefab trusses. That is typically done when stick framing the roof/rafters.

  • @norwoodsatv
    @norwoodsatv 7 місяців тому

    Did you caulk around all sides of the trim boards? Or just the 1/8 inch seam of corner trim?

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 7 місяців тому

      Not on the vertical pieces as long as they are tight to the panels. Horizontal pieces the top side should be (only those that may be exposed to rain or snow). It is why all the trim was pre-painted so you don't have to cut in after - makes for a much nicer paint job when done.

  • @MattDeLuco
    @MattDeLuco 8 місяців тому

    If you're going to eye up the studs at 16" - 3/4", why not just mark 16" and eye up the centre of the stud?

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 7 місяців тому

      Accuracy - while using a center mark may work for the majority of studs, there will be many steps that require stud placement to be precise e.g. door and window framing where rough openings need to be accurate as well as placement. Overall, it comes down to how fussy you are.

  • @RAWFIXIT
    @RAWFIXIT 8 місяців тому

    Thank you much for these videos. Question regarding nails. If I plan to have the underside of the overhang exposed, should I just use shorter nails to prevent the nails from coming through under the overhang, or is there a different procedure or glue to make sure those first couple of rows of shingles are secure. I was even thinking of using T&G as roof sheathing around the perimeter so it is visible underneath the overhang, and I wouldn't want nails to come through on that section. Thanks much!

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 7 місяців тому

      That is a good question. Have not dealt with this before. Using shorter nails might work for the first layer, but they may be too short on the second layer and it will be difficult to get just the right length to ensure they do not poke through and still have enough holding strength - especially for the first rows which are most venerable to high winds. I have to be honest, I am not sure how professional roofers would handle this and it can't hurt to ask one or two local roofing contractors how they would do this. That said, if it was my choice, for the best appearance, I would use 3/4" material around the perimeter where it will be seen from underneath. Then strap the remainder with 1x4 strapping. I would then put 1/2" or sheathing over the entire roof. This will provide a substrate of 1 1/4" around the perimeter plus the thickness of the first layer of shingle (roughly just under 1/8" depending on the shingle). Now you can easily use the recommended 1 1/4" long nails without any concern of them penetrating through the underside. But, as noted, it can't hurt to consult a few roofers and see what they recommend. Maybe there is an adhesive that can be used in conjunction with shorter nails on the first rows that would provide the required strength to prevent blow off in high winds.

    Great video! You simplify everything. Would it be alright to use nails instead of screws. Like one of your other viewer commented about building a 12 x 16. Well I will also be waiting to view that video..

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 9 місяців тому

      Yes, nails, properly sized are fine. In fact, on larger sheds it is recommended for shear strength - and probably required by code once you exceed a specific square footage (which is different depending on your location). On a 12 x 16 shed I would use nails for all structural parts of the shed.

    @CHESTURCH 10 місяців тому

    Do the hurricane clips make it so my sheathing from the wall doesnt have to tie into my gable? Or does the gable sheathing still need to be nailed or screwed into my top plate? The way I drew my plans, 8 foot smart side panels will end up flush with the top of my 2nd top plate, do I need to make my studs longer to allow my gable sheathing to hit the top plate?

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 9 місяців тому

      Hurricane ties are used mainly for areas prone to high winds to prevent the roof from lifting off the main structure. As long as the hurricane ties are secured to lumber that is also secure with the sheathing, you should be fine. If you live in an area where high winds are not common, then it is not as important.

  • @CHESTURCH
    @CHESTURCH 10 місяців тому

    I have 2 years of framing experience but it was 18 years ago. After that, i did siding for about 12 years so i have a general idea. But this video series is helping me tremendously!! If u can, go do the free trial of sketchup and draw up a set of plans for your shed. Along with this video, i have drawn up my 10x12' shed on sketchup and have caught a few things i could have potentially screwed up and wasted money on. If you're like me, you just want it to be easy as possible and still be done correct. Good luck!

  • @Stacey-hv7zc
    @Stacey-hv7zc 11 місяців тому

    Is there a reason why the skids are not needed ?

    • @Countrylifeprojects
      @Countrylifeprojects 10 місяців тому

      It really depends on how much moisture/rain you have where the shed is built. The location we built this one is fairly dry and the gravel would likely allow any moisture to dry out. However, if you are building in a wet area, or where the ground stays wet for long periods, then building on top of skids makes sense. E.g Oregon for sure in many places, New Mexico climate probably not required.

  • @RAWFIXIT
    @RAWFIXIT 11 місяців тому

    Thanks again for the great video series. My HOA is going to require a cement floor. Do you have any videos on that? Would you use the same dimensions for the cement pad as the wall frame of the building so that the siding laps over the cement foundation?

  • @RAWFIXIT
    @RAWFIXIT 11 місяців тому

    Excellent video series. I plan on using a lot of your tips when building my shed. Question for you. My HOA is going to require the shed to be sided with the same material as the house which means I’ll probably have to use some type of plywood or OSB, and then wrap it before putting the siding on. What type of and what size/thickness of plywood or OSB would you use?
