    For those storing your chainsaws... you may want to store them horizontally and place a small flat aluminum pan (like the ones for BBQ grill runoff) underneath the body to catch the leaking chain oil... they always leak.

      Lay it on it’s side and it won’t leak. Another trick is to loosen the oil cap to relieve pressure but you have to remember to tighten it before use.

    4:37- "they aren't the prettiest things". For a shed using leftovers and scraps, I'd say that's really a wise use of materials. I just finished my shed with your Ideas. Love watching all you smart folks and getting ideas from youtube. Thanks April...

    I like how everything is cut nice and straight to fit between the 2x4s and the dowel idea is actually really great-I've been using extra large utility hooks but dowels you can customize the length. Your video makes me want to get out our tools and start organizing!

  • @clvokoun
    @clvokoun Před 3 lety +7

    I absolutely love your channel. I'm getting an 8 x 12' shed installed in a week and will definitely use some of your ideas. Can't wait for my garage to have fewer lawn and garden items so that it can become the woodworking space that I've been dreaming about for quite some time! Thanks for all of the ideas and education across the board with your wealth of videos!!

    @salmandron Před 5 lety +10

    Hey April, I think your tips were great! I love the advice on thinking about what you will be storing and what your shelving needs are. As for putting your gear in plastic bins that someone else commented there’s always gonna be that person that has to feel like they are contributing by giving advice that is known as common sense. You do great things and you gave me some great ideas on what to do with my scrap lumber thanks for the inspiration and advice.

    EXCELLENT VIDEO! I have been searching for videos for each thing that you did, but only found videos that were similar, yet only useful to get an idea of what to do. This video covered every single thing, in exactly the same way that I will be able to replicate. Plus, you didnt waste time with extra self-serving explaining or non-related stories for more video time. It was clear, concise, informative, smart, and fast. Im headed out to my shed. Thanks so much!

    Thankyou April, the fence boards as decking is something I've never thought of.
    I see there is currently no electricity on the shed, If you plan on adding it later I'd suggest putting everything in the shed (everything that's going to live there at least) and note where they seam to like sitting. Then you can plan out the outlets and lights accordingly, and reduce the amount of wire you've gotta buy, or reuse, for the job.
    If you don't want to run power out to the shed, you might think about wiring it as if you were going to, but add in a power distribution box that you can plug into, and just run an extension cord when you need to.
    TY more videos please.

  • @flexjoe
    @flexjoe Před 3 lety +10

    April, awesome tips. From personal experience, store anything with liquids closer to the ground instead. Trust me on this. Summer heat and winter cold will weaken those plastic containers and end up like the messes I've had to deal with. I hope this helps.

    • @Mixdplate
      @Mixdplate Před 2 lety +3

      Great tip on the liquids! Makes so much sense too. Sheds/garages aren't typically climate controlled. In the summer, heat rises. I've noticed some of my containers start to bulge a bit during those months. Keeping them lower will certainly be safer and smarter if anything were to leak. Will be re-organizing this spring for sure! Thanks for sharing.

    @pmcload Před 3 lety +16

    Great job April! I appreciate the fact that you are doing this yourself, not supervising contractors!
    Very nice size shed too. I like the rolling ladder hanger idea. I currently keep them on hangers on the outside
    of the shed, but they get really messy from rotting leaves and rain. I have a 6' and 12' ladder, but may need to keep the extension
    ladder outside. I also need a ramp like you built in the other video as my heaviest items are a big generator and power washer.
    I may design a 4-5 foot "flat" area to meet the shed as opposed to just the incline. I am also thinking of building an exclosure of
    sorts on the backside of the shed to store basic garden digging tools....they can live outside. I'll keep the cutting tools inside tho.
    First and foremost, get RID of the junk that you've been keeping for decades and never used!!
    Keep up the great videos.

  • @jaymarvin8752
    @jaymarvin8752 Před 6 lety

    I've read on here where you say that we're not supposed to hang our weedeaters and chainsaws vertically. Well I've read and listened to your explanations and it doesn't matter whether I lay my chainsaws vertically or horizontally they leak out the chain and bar oil every time. Lastly when I hang up my weedeaters on the wall like she has done the location of my tank cap is on the top side so there for I have less amount of fuel leakage or either way it doesn't make a difference. But I'm glad to know or hear that from you. I have never had a problem starting my equipment and I have always felt that it was the way I handle my equipment before I begin to start my equipment and that is that I make sure before I ever prime the fuel bulb is that I shake the equipment so the fuel that may or may not have separated it gets everything mixed back up and since I started doing that 25-30 years ago I've not had one fouled out spark plug and my equipment starts on the first pull.

      Until about 3 years when it'll start looking dingy, grimy and dirty; also to mention chipping from various equipment scuffing the walls over time. It wont be looking so good, then. So in a long term perspective, it's just best to keep the wood natural.

    April as simple as the brackets and shelves may seem, I never would have thought to put slots into them so the butt up against the was. And the slots for the tools to hang off of too. My shed will definitely benefit from this video. I currently have just nails in the wall or studs to hang tools off of and it is not an efficient use of space. Thanks for another great video!~Dolly

  • @WillysPerformanceCycleCtr

    Great video and storage ideas! One word of caution, I would not store my motorcycle helmets in an unconditioned space for any extended period of time! The heat deteriorates the foam shock absorption liner under the shell. They don't actually last very long as it is, much less exposed to high heat in a shed! Free advice, worth what it cost! Thanks for all you great videos. I have used many of your ideas in our home projects. Thanks again from Tennessee!
