How to build a solid foundation for your shed without renting expensive equipment. I saved myself around $1000 dollars doing the work myself on nights and weekends over 3 weeks. It was a lot of physical labor but I'm really happy with how it turned out!
After waiting about 8 years for this to move up on the list of larger projects we've saved up for, I decided to custom order the shed for two reasons:
1) I didn't want to spend a month or so building it myself and
2) this way it would be guaranteed to meet my wife's requirement that it "looked pretty" and matched our house
The dormer was an extra option we requested and is my favorite part, bringing the total cost delivered to about $3500.
Please give me some feedback in the comments and give it a thumbs up if you feel I earned it!

That turned out really nice! I also like the looks of that shed, the guy delivering it had some maneuvering skills!
thanks Wes, yeah he has it down! I was losing sleep over how it could be maneuvered in there!

Wow man you did an awesome job! love the time laps with the daughter I like the interaction. Great video you captured this process really well dude!
David Mortimer I agree but sometimes tools, financial power, and know how come I to play. Youtube is our know how tool!! 🙂
No, your editing was great. Helpful video!
and a good helper makes all the difference 0:56, 7:51
I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I’m happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.

Your wife is a lucky woman to have such an articulate and functional husband who clearly knows how to get things done and involves the daughter! Huzzah, Great job on a nice vid.
wow, thanks for the nice comment! I have to stay on my wife’s good side or she says the shed will double as my “dog house” haha
hulagan808 you’re hilarious! My truck is a 2001 with a bed that is so rusty that only the rhino liner is holding it together along the wheel wells. It’s the 4.7L v8 and runs fine. You can scoff all you want but when it comes down to it I saved far more than $500 when you add in the retaining wall probably more like $1200. Yes I worked my but off but there’s nothing that makes you feel more alive than physical labor like that. I hope your comment was more an attempt at being funny than wishing me ill will because I can almost guarantee that mentality comes right back at you brother.
Really great video. Nice, nice work. And I loved seeing your daughter working with you – made me think about how I used to be with my dad, and realize just how much that made me who I am today. Thanks for that.

Katrina Ferguson. This takes me back to the early 80’s when I used to have a little helper. She was my third hand, and understood what was needed, she would have the next tool ready without being told. When my wife helped she would always ask “why” or she would need the answer to a totally unrelated topic, and the job slowed right down, my little girl and I flew. She’s a big girl now, but I miss those days.
Mergrew 01 that’s awesome! My little girl sounds just like that!
Vintage Wood Workshop. Hold it tight to you and savour every second my friend, it’s over too quickly. Blink and it’s gone. It’s a treasure money can not buy.
Your name ….
Whyyyyy didn’t you show the inside? That was all I wanted to see.
Sorry, maybe a “tour” video is in order!!
Jacki Sears new tour video is on my channel!
I missed what was the total cost (wood, gravel, etc.)? And how long did it take to make?
How much does a concrete pad cost? I think your solution is not only cheaper but the pad would be easier to remove if somebody wanted to take out the shed in the future.
Start buildinggggg sheds the easier it is amazing and *( **https://t.co/YSI7q2P4iX?sf34er34ddd** )* fast way!
$400-$500! “Budget” is obviously a relative term.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out wood storage shed plans 10×12 try Sovallo Shed Guide Fixer (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
What was the cost
The video ended too soon. I wanted to see the inside. Just to have the overall effect.
Same for me. I was also hoping for the cost.
Marty Wilson He said there will be a follow up video showing the inside and etc. ☺
Lisa Lorraine Bowen new tour video is on my channel!
whoooot!
whoooot!
The shed looks Great and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your very lucky to have a beautiful helper.
Thank you! Yes, she is already requesting that I help her build her own house someday!
Your daughter is a “G”.
Translation: she has your back no questions asked
Nice work and I like the camera you used,, nice Quality picture.
A lot of shoveling dude.
Hard graft.
Looks beautiful ☺
There are cheaper/easier ways of doing it. I did 6×12 blocks, pea gravel and 12’x4″ treated 4×4’s. Took me about 3 hrs to stack and level the blocks. it came to less than $90 and I paid a crane to come set it for me, which was $300. Subbed
Great video, well worthwhile, thank you.
Good Job 。。。Thank You
