BUILDING A SHED ROOF. NO TRAINING. CABIN #5

- My skills are growing as I work on this cabin project in the woods in Northern Canada. I have no construction experience. The shed is the first part of the project, and as I build it, my skills are quickly growing. Every day I'm getting better at this stuff, and I am getting so excited to take you along for the ride.

If I paid almost $500 for a hammer, it better be able to build the shed by itself while I drink beer on the porch.
A Stanley costs $9.95. That's good enough for me. 🙂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bfelten1 I agree!
Your pretty funny, had a good laugh
FYI. 32” doors need a 34” rough opening. That gives you enough space for the door jamb and shims (to help ensure it’s plumb). A 32” opening, in turn, is good for a 30” door. Cheers.
you beat me to it!
@@JamesSmith-mz9ec I yelled at Jay to STOP but I don't think he heard me
Yuppers, you need shim room for squaring the jamb and door up.
Don't forget the height, it should be 82 1/2" for RO.
@@waburgathe He'll just have to trim the door down.
"Man, I don't know what I did before clamps"....truer words have never been spoken!!
You mentioned that this type of episode is “not the most popular”, but I love it - it’s great to follow your progress. Especially enjoy it when you talk to the boards as you put them in place - that is so “me”. Keep it up - you are doing great and I am living vicariously through you! Cheers!
Thank you for the video. I am a 64-year-old senior amputee and I love watching you build your shed improving your property. I look forward to it. Keep up the good work you’re doing great. I love your honesty.😊
I think what keeps me watching your channel is that you are not afraid to show your missteps and in fact are not afraid them. Showing your oops also gives you an opportunity to show your successes! Good job at expressing your human side.
Me too...I know nothing about camping and real snow(I live in the deep south) but watching him is pure joy to me...this shed is great❤
@@deboragoodson2757 Me too, Florida.
Couldn’t agree more. Instead of commenting the similar, I’ll just like your comment 👍 So many channels are edited to show no mistakes like they are perfect at everything. Jay keeps it real and the fact he’s learning and teaching himself and asking his viewers for advice practically every episode. So great. I can only imagine how much easier it makes all of this for him by not trying to hide anything. It’s really like being there with Jay I find.
Thank you Jay for a great channel with an ordinary guy who is willing to make mistakes and correct them. You make great videos and make us feel like we are standing beside you.😀🇨🇦👍
Keep up the good work Jay! You are living all of our dreams.
Not without internet it isn't. I have to have my Independent Media for news updates throughout the day. Can't trust Canadian media whatsoever.
Jay, I think these projects really add something to the channel. Watching all the changes makes me feel a bit more invested in your place, and interested in what is coming next. It's like a book when you can't wait for the next chapter.
I admire your courage and willingness to share this journey with us Jay. If I pay $489, I am flying on it to a tropical location.
Jay, before you start filling the shed you might want to consider shelving. If you shelve out the back wall, it will be a massive space saver 👍🏻👍🏻
And let’s be honest, you know at some point you’re going to empty the shed to install shelves.
Jay,
You are doing a great job. Keep it up. Remember, you are not building a church, you are building a shed.
New smaller nail bag looks much better Jay. Go the Estwing hammer as someone else mentioned. I have two of them, great hammers. The ones with the leather grip. I bought them as that is the hammer my Dad used, and still has, he was a house builder, now well into his eighties. Who knows how many nails that hammer has put in. Ah, you and your clamps 😅, yes they are great. Shed is looking great.
Thanks Jay for this early Sunday surprise…nice way to start the day…
Watching you build your shed makes me want to build something at my camp. Great job!
Man, I really like your videos and everything you’re doing, I’m living vicariously through you as I watch these
Jay, I like to watch someone who is not a professional, but willing to tackle projects like this. Can’t wait to see what you do with the cabin.
Exactly how I woulda done the "rafters". Work smarter not harder. Loving the videos!
Jay, the pitch of the shed roof is too shallow for shingles. Water or snow melt will work their way under the shingles. Metal or plastic sheets would be more appropriate. Plus it will allow snow to slide off far easier than shingles.
I didn't know this. Excellent tip. Thank you
Hey Jay. Big fan of your channel here in the Maritimes. I think some overlook your stellar production values and camera shots (including drone shots). I like watching you do things from a practical standpoint. How you figure out solutions to problems. Certain things I'd do differently, but you're always 'Gettin at er' and doing stuff. If you're ever at a loss for content, I'd like you to explain or show how you get your firewood for the winter - how you store your wood and split your logs. Keep up the great channel and bring the dog with you sometimes.
Me and hubby look forward to watching your videos Jay I am from the UK 😊
Tell us again just how much you like using clamps. Nice job. Looking forward to next week.
Love the idea of clamps . I used clamps to attach foldable solar panels outside my window. Great for strength without damaging window sill and temporary so can put them back on my van.
Jay you are funny - “being new to the construction scene” 😂 I want someone to sponsor Jay with a mega bucks hammer 🎉
Quote from Jaws. “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”! 😂
You are an awesome person Jay. Your doing great, and we are enjoying watching and learning with you. Thank You for sharing everything.
You are evolving into becoming the "Bob Villa" of NW Territory Canada!!! LOL!!! 🤣 I Absolutely Love it Jay!!! I have to admit that I am Very much enjoying your new content!!! You got camping, outdoors, fishing, cooking, boating, power tools, construction, cabin, all wrapped up in a Beautiful and peaceful environment!!! 😯 Whoa!!! You are living a Man's Dream life Jay!!! 👍 Keep doing what you are doing Jay!!! 😁 I can't wait to see your next Amazing video!!!
Thanks so much Phillip. Jay
you are a great carpenter Jay 10 out of 10 have a great week
I'm back here just to comment and like to push the algorithms. Jay to the moon 🎉
This is great to watch, thank you, plus I had to educate a Michigan friend what poutine was!
Great job Jay 👍🏼 waiting for your next video, keep up the good work 🔨🪚😊
Soup is love! That’s what I always say. Her soup looks amazing, you are so lucky to have someone make soup for you 🤗
Hi Jay, it has been a real pleasure watching your recent videos.
Way to go, very enjoyable content.
High five to you 🙂 Cheers 🙂
Hey Jay, you might want to use metal roofing on your shed instead of shingles. The shingles won't shed the snow as easily as the metal roofing, which means your shed will be holding all of the snow load,and that could get really heavy depending on the amount of snow you get. Great video by the way.
Jay, in reference to hammers... My dad and I are general contractors. We've used Estwing hammers for years. I carry a 16 oz, a 20 oz and a 22 oz Waffle head hammer in my tool box. Never needed anything fancier. Keep doing what you're doing. Best way to learn is by doing it.
Beans and hamburger with fried potatoes and a side of green beans. A meal fit for a king!!
Thank you for the videos you put out, you do not care if its about your current everyday family life since you took the big step. My family will continue to appreciate the content that you give us, Much love the Ginn Family from ohio!!!
I'm enjoying watching you create. It's fun, and the shed is coming along nicely. Yay!
Who the heck needs a hammer made out of titanium? If my tools get wet, i dry them with a cloth, oil them down, and put them next to the wood stove to dry, and i am good to go. I still use tools bought andnused by my grandpa and great grandpa. That shed is looking great. You're doing an amazing job.
Beautiful. Just a beautiful way to express your soul. It's the small things that make the big difference.
Jay you are doing a great job! You have such a passion for living in the beautiful outdoors. It’s so nice to see that you are enjoying this place with just the minimal things. So much technology has changed how we live nowadays. Always watching to see your progress and one day you’ll look back and see how much you have accomplished. Keep up the great work and know we are all supporting you!
Good for you Jay, learning as you go!!! I do a lot of woodworking crafts, and i love my clamps!!! You're doing a great job!!!!! Cheers!
HI Jay What a fantastic job you have done you can feel very proud of yourself.
Thank you for sharing.
Mr. Jay... I'll say one thing, your shed is unique! You're skills are improving and you'll be pro diy'r in no time! Love the content, keep up the good work!
Thanks for another good video Jay. You seem to be enjoying yourself ,mistakes,re doing. Good for you! Your good spirits are good for all of us. Thanks again.
Awesome job Jay!! Living the dream. Love the drone shots. Looks so peaceful. Love to be there giving you a hand. Take care and look forward to the next video. God Bless!!
I like seeing the impact driver for screws!
Enjoying it immensely Jay!
Great job!
Jay, I grew up in construction and worked in that industry as a helper and then framer and trim specialist. I owned 2 hammers a16oz. Plumb and a 13 oz> plumb. Still have them at 72 years old and still use those. I think I paid less that $5m for each bank in the 60's. Mny handles in both since bought!
Thank you for sharing your shed build. I have learned much to help me in a future project. What a beautiful place your cabin is nestled in
Estwing hammers, good price for a great hammer.
Its your channel Jay, and I enjoy all the content, just make the videos that you want to make, and thanks for letting us share in this part of your life. 480 for a hammer though, it better be automated for that price, the best value tools are the ones you always go to, and you hold onto for years, keep well big fella, all the best from the UK.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video, as usual. Wish I was still young enough to do that kind of DIY!
Great work, Jay. You doing you and thats what keeps us watching ❤
Keep up the great content, I really enjoy watching the videos no matter if you are camping or building your shed great seeing someone learning and growing
Love your videos Jay. You have a small piece of heaven there.
I really enjoy watching you as you improve the cabin and add outbuildings. Learning as you go is sometimes the best way Jay. Somehow I am not concerned about the end result because it will be as you want it to be. Don’t stop keep going and enjoy your self that’s all that matters.
Jay, why not take your “fence” off of the top of your cabin and utilize that wood. Love all your content!
Always enjoy watching Jay. What a gorgeous place to be building something.
Great job Jay!!! So fun to see you have fun with this project!! Awesome video!!
Jay your abilities and your knowledge are growing with each video. Well done on the new shed. I do hope you have a pretty robust first aid kit. 6-8 rolls of Kerlex gauze and at least 6-8 tourniquets in it. With as much power tool use you are doing now and accidents can occur plus your distance from the nearest hospital is a recipe for disaster if not prepared god forbid. The new video format is awesome, keep killing it.
You should start calling your “home style “ fries, “cabin” fries!
Stay positive Jay, of course you can do it 👌
I enjoy watching you do your thing. It is yours. Others can back away 😂
Metal roof all the way. Good forever helps shed the snow. It’s a win win!😊
Jay I say this in all jest. You are learning. Please don’t take offense. “Eye ball dry wall. Jay behind the eight ball. Our warranty is out offsite. Good till we’re out of site.” I’m an American dude that watches you videos and I hope you the best in your endeavors and I enjoy your videos.
This here is content I love watching, just a man figuring shit out!
Hey! loving the videos. I am so invested. Watching just now and remembering back to when you first started CZcams. The adventures, what you have learned. What you have accomplished!!! So proud and so happy for you. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Until next time! Take care.
Great work so far Jay and smart choice starting with the shed, then outhouse then another wood shed “building” your skills!
Throw some cross-ladders on your outer trusses, and as always nice to see you enjoying a nice meal while on the building journey!
Cheers!
Brian
I think it looks amazing. The only thing I might do is put a metal roof on top of the shed. I think it would wear better for you in the long run.👍👍
Jay, your channel is one of the best new channels I've found lately. The way you think and communicate is just inspiring. I'm aiming to be doing in a few years, here in Ireland, the same you are doing. There is always a beginning for everything. Keep doing what you're doing cause it is right
Thank you. Jay
👍👍👍 Awesome, I love it ! THANKS.
Bro, good job brother, plenty of kudos from Brooklyn, NY
you can be a “ made man” LOL
Jay, I love your videos. I lived just over the border from New Brunswick in Caribou, Maine. It was no NWT but did get cold in the winter. I always look forward to the newest construction on your cabin. Keep up the good work.
Looking great so far.
I suggest using the clear corrugated polycarbonate panels for the roof. Your shed has no windows and it will be a dark box. You're going to have a hard time finding anything in there. These panels are great for outhouses too.
Hey Jay, thanks for another great video. Don't worry about what it looks like as long as it gets the job done.😁
I love every bit of this content. It’s part of my evening routine whenever it drops. :D
Loved the video Jay!!
I agree with others, love watching a "non-professional" tackle a job like this. You're doing great and learning as you go along, keep up the good work!
Hey I see your still working on your shed, it's coming along Jay keep up good work Jay
You're coming along just fine with the storage shed. After finishing it, maybe apply a wood sealant and water proofing to it to protect it from the elements. There's nothing like eating a hearty homemade soup. Be safe and careful my friend, until next time.
Hi Jay the Shed is Awesome and Amazing like the way you did the roof Awesome 😊 walls are Awesome 😊
Great adjustments to suit your changes, great you admit your mosques and project looking good. Looking forward to you finishing and what you do to cabin
Great job! I extended the roof on my shed in the back. I use it to stack extra firewood underneath.
Cedar Shingle siding on all of the buildings would look like a rustic cabin. The bundles would easy to bring in by boat or sled.
Jay what an outstanding job you did on the shaded
You are essentially me.... 3 steps forward, 2-4 steps back when you think your done! but it looks good! Those hurricane clips/rafter to top plate connectors looked to be Simpson H1's since they are diamond shaped and then those other clips looked like H2.5a's. Glad you used those clips and the screws! I know since I can not swing a hammer like I use to, I have invested in a paslode framer. maybe something to think about in the future builds if you have the cash flow to splurge on one. or even a framing pneumatic nailer helps speed it up a ton if your compress can handle it. Or a dewalt 20v nailer but in the winter, I would imagine you would be better off with the pneumatic nailer over the paslode and 20v due to temps. Man I enjoy watching this on Mondays or Tuesdays while I do my lumber estimates!!!! Good luck and hope yall have a great date night!!
Thanks for all the tips, Mike. I appreciate it. Jay
Good to hear from you so soon keep it coming.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😉🫠🙃🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😄😃😀
Way to go Jay! Amazing job, especially working by yourself! 😊
Heyy Jay the shed is coming together nicely ,you're doing a great job thanks for sharing stay safe 😊
I love this series Jay! Right now I have to go buy some hot dogs and a potato....
Hi Jay, how are you doing. Some days I wish I could send pictures throw this way. But if you are going to be solar at or cabin. I have a solar fridge at my camp. The name on the fridge is Solstice that is the company. So I thought I would share that idea with you. It would save on propane. Anyway hope you have a wonderful week and stay safe and sound and take care 🙂
I am so invested in your shed from my sofa far far away...
Love how you just figure it out and enjoy it. I wonder if you edit out the F-bombs, if it was me there would be a lot of curse words and a few trips into the wood to retrieve my hammer when I threw it cause things weren't working :)
Reusing the lumber is great, not only saving money but saves a few trees too.
Hope you enjoyed the sushi date.
Thanks for bring us with you on this adventure.
Loving the channel Jay. Keep up the great work. Cant wait to see your future projects x
Kudos to you bro for taking on your dreams. You are a determined person. 👊
A hammer is only as good as the person swinging it no matter how much it costs. Period! I made a living (40+ yrs.) using a hammer every day. The weight of a hammer is the most important part. Framing hammer= 24oz., trim (claw) hammer=16oz. is the general accepted rule. My grandfather told me that hard work builds character. That was in 1963 (I was 10yrs. old) when I helped him build his house. Keep trying and never accept defeat. You're a winner in my opinion.
Jay you built that roof exactly how I was trying to explain the way you should do it. You only have one flaw in the shed though, and that is in the way you roughed out the door. For a 32 inch door, your opening should actually be about 33 to 34 inches which I know seams odd. But the extra space, is for the Door jams, and shims so that you can square up the door as you are installing it. As if the door is 32, add a half inch on each side for the door jams and about a quarter to half inch each side for squaring shims. You can install a facia board on the underside of the rafters around on the outside to keep birds and squirrel out, on top of cutting end caps to close up the rafter which is where a 2x6 on the back would come in handy.
Love your videos as you say you are learning as you go great job
Everyway is the rightway,if it'swork's!! 👌👍☺️✌️🌻☀️❤️
